Dear Clint,
How happy I was when I saw your remarks about the "Bliss House".
First, I am dec from Lucinda (Angel) Bliss' brother Henry Clay Angel (1838-1873) my gr-gr-grandfather. My mother could remember some of the Bliss family.
Correction first, Lucinda was the daughter of David Angel(1799-1864) and Adeline Porter (1801-1877), both died and are buried in Bluffton, not "W.W. Angel" David was the First Mayor of Bluffton and had run a tavern and store.
That said, I am very intrested in the Bliss family and would love to have a picture of the Bliss House, poss Jeffery and Lucinda, or their family. I have several Bluffton pictures that are family that I have not identfied and would love to compare. Also if you have information on this family line I would be so very happty to exchange information with you. John Studebaker also married a daughter of David and Adeline. I have some lovley old pictures of that line and the Brick home, I remember was the home of the Historical Soc. I gave them a copy of one of the pictures with Rebecca and others in the front yard.
Some of my Bluffton family names are Angel, Hatfield, Wilson, Studebaker

Hi Tom,
Was you father's name Victor Stair? If so I remember your parents very well. We knew Victor and Thelma Stair when you were a very little boy and we all attended the Nazarene church together in Columbia City, In. We were friends but she wasn't our teacher but near in age to us. They were a wonderful christian couple and loving parents. They were so proud of their family.

I am looking for anyone who might have pictures or any information about a school built in Uniondale about 1922 more or less. I have two pictures of students standing in front of the school with their teachers ( of course it only shows the building had windows and a door). One teacher was Ida Lipkey. I am writing the history of Uniondale and would very much like to pin down where this building may have been (if it was ever built). Any information you have on Uniondale is welcome, also.

I have faint memories of the hotel. There was a large picture window in the front facing the sidewalk. A barbershop sign was next door to it.
I remember the lobby with a lot of old men smoking their cigars. Furniture was a dark red.
The Snug Resturant used to have photographs of the Bliss Hotel. One had four waitresses in it. They may still have them.
Regards,
Will

I am interested in finding anyone who may have had my mother for their teacher in the early grades at Columbian Elementary School on Washington St. She began teaching in the fall of 1942 as Miss Bennett until she married my father in 1945 and was Mrs. Stair. I have class photos of several of her classes that I have sent to the Wells Co. Gen. Soc. My mother died when I was five so I have no memory of her and wonder if any of her former students may still be living and remember that far back.

Did you ever get copies of these papers? My parents recently bought the Washington Street Inn from the Kyles. They would be interested in the papers too. Clint

Hello Blufftonites!
I am interested in anyone who has memories that they would share about Bluffton's historic Bliss Hotel and the Jeffry and Lucinda Bliss Family. The hotel was torn down in the 1960s. It was located at the corner of Main and Washington. My family has a collection of Bliss Hotel items; I grew up in the Bliss family home now located at the corner of Spring and Clark. I am also interested in items from the hotel, pictures, and general stories/things remembered.
The Bliss family were early pioneers of Wells County. Before building the hotel he worked for the Studebakers and was later in business with the Arnolds. Mrs. Bliss' father (W.W. Angel) was the first mayor of Bluffton. Their daughter married Colonel Louis Davenport, another prominent Bluffton man. The families are buried at Fairview and Elm Grove.
So, what do you remember about the hotel?
Thanks! Clint Holloway
