Cemetery Name: Old Bliss Cemetery

Also Known As: Bliss Cemetery

Location:  Sidney Township, East of Sidney

GPS Location 40.02906, -88.04430 (link to Google Map)

Description:  "Old Bliss Cemetery is an early burial ground - 1830-1870. One of the earlier burials is James Copeland, July 15, 1818." That is what is written on a small sign near the cemetery. A newer sign near the road leave off the "old" part of the name, and also has a date of 1852 on the sign. This cemetery has been inactive for many years until recently (2009), when a new burial has taken place just south of the rest of the cemetery.

Pictures: I took pictures of EVERY stone in this cemetery in April 2010, and also took 2 video's linked below in April 2010.

Link to Pictures: 290 pictures (50 on a page, 12 pages)

Video: Below are a couple of quick overview video's of Old Bliss Cemetery. These were taken April 2010. Please note: These video's are NOT "professional" or to be used to read stones or anything like that.... these are simple to show a quick "overview" of the cemetery. For those who may never be able to visit this cemetery in person, these video's are here to show a quick "overview" of the area.
