Norman Bliss Funeral Minutes

Norman Bliss Funeral Minutes

These are the funeral minutes of Norman I. Bliss- they were sent to me by Gordon Wright who works in the church history department in Salt Lake. He is not related but we have shared data about Hinckley, where he spent his summers with his grandparents.

I have a photographic copy and have transcribed it as is - appears on the page. Feel free to comment.
