The Children’s Tribute

THE CALL AND R£SPO:GrSE.

ON Tuesday, July 10, 1877, the mouument in memory of Mr, and Mrs. P. P. Bliss was unveiled. July 9, Mr. Bliss’s birthday, was first chosen for the unveiling; Vmt as this date fell on Monday, the delay of a day was made the better to accommodate those attending from a distance. The day was in all respects a beautiful one for the service, permitting the fullest possible attendance.

The monument is erected at Mr. Bliss’s late home in Home, Bradford County, Penn. It stands in the village cemetery, in full view from the main road, and near the school-house where Mr. Bliss taught when a veiy young man, and adjacent to the fields where he worked at farming in his vacations, and to the home whence he selected his wife, and where he and she spent many happy days.

Mr. Bliss’s mother and a married sister live at Towanda, ten miles from Rome. Mrs. Bliss’s father, mother, grandmother, two married sisters, and two brothers live at Home. One of these sisters has charge of the two orphaned boys.
