Alexander Bliss spent his life in the Springfield area, a citizen of the early republic who quietly helped keep his corner of the community steady through years of change. Though details of his livelihood are scarce, those who remember him speak of a man devoted to family, to the land, and to lending a hand to neighbors when the need arose.
