HISTORY OF ST. LAWRENCE CO.,NY
Edwin W. Bloss, son of Samuel and Achsah Bloss, was born in Plainfield,NH, Sept.30, 1806. His father was a native of Dalton, N.H. and his mother of Plainfield,NH. They reared nineteen children, he having been married twice. The subject of this sketch was reared on a farm, and for the greater part of his life has followed it. He came to Parishville,NY and settled on his present farm in Feb. 1838. He has built all the buildings on his farm, a view of which may be seen in another part of this work.
He married Miss Mercy A. Russell of this town, Jan.8, 1840. She was born July 30, 1820. Her parents are natives of Foster,R.I. and settled in this town in 1816. Mr. Bloss and wife have had three children, namely, Albro E., Orra E, and Ida A., the last of whom is dead. Albro E. Bloss is the home boy, and the one who sees that his parents are identified in this work.
Mr. Bloss has always been either a Whig or Republican in politics. Before giving any of his land away to his children, he owned about three hundred and eighty acres free of incumbrance, and got himself by industry and frugality. He is now seventy-one years of age, and is living with his son, A.E. Bloss.
