Charles Bliss, a man about 65 years old, was found dead in his house, just back of the grist mill at Hemlock Lake, on Tuesday morning.
He had been in poor health for a number of years, but had been active and earned enough generally to support himself. He had for some time lived alone, and for several weeks past had suffered greatly from rheumatism.
Dr. Green went in and saw him about 11 o’clock Monday night, when he seemed to be no worse than for a number of days past. In the morning, however, he was found on the floor dead.
Warren Green as coroner summoned a jury consisting of Benjamin Archer, I. H. Gilbert, C. D. Morton, J. D. Stillwell, C. M. Swarthout, E. A. White, E. M. Trimmer, J. W. Beam, A. B. Becker and Isaac Adams, and a verdict that the deceased died from heart disease was rendered.
Charley Bliss was known by almost every one in this section, having lived at Hemlock most of the time since he came from Albany forty years ago. His wife died some years ago in Michigan.
He was a man always ready to accommodate, and did odd jobs generally for people in the village and about the lake. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Hancock officiating.
