Description	:	[Notes from R. Riopel: On or before May 7, 1844, Mrs. Hubbard Bliss was the original purchaser of Lot #335 at the then, new Springfield Cemetery (see record of Deed #336; Cemetery est. 1841, 1st burial 1843). The location, at some point in time, was described as being at the corner of Oak Avenue (?) and Lawn Path.

Riopel: On or before May 7, 1844, Mrs. Hubbard Bliss was the original purchaser of Lot #335 at the then, new Springfield Cemetery (see record of Deed #336; Cemetery est. 1841, 1st burial 1843). The location, at some point in time, was described as being at the corner of Oak Avenue (?) and Lawn Path. That designation of Oak Ave. appears to be incorrect, as Oak Ave. is far from the Lot #335, according to the maps of 1928-1929. What is more plausible is that the unnamed path at the corner of Lawn Path (and Lot #335) is perhaps one of the 17 path names for which locations are no longer known. As Hubbard Bliss died in 1838, he was obviously removed from another cemetery and re-interred at Springfield Cemetery. Such removals were a common practice. It is assumed that he was removed from the old burying ground at Elm St. (located between the river and First Church at the present downtown Court Square). Many Bliss ancestors were originally buried there. In the summer of 1848, all remains at Elm St. were removed to Springfield Cemetery, to make way for development. Between the the establishment of Springfield Cemetery and the final removal from Elm St., there were 227 private removals from Elm St. to Springfield Cemetery (see superintendent's accounting in Cemetery records). Hubbard Bliss may well be counted among those 227 removals. In 1935, a physical site survey of the Lot #335, including ground probing, was performed by Cemetery personnel. At that time, a stone may have been visible and readable, as the person conducting the survey explicitly noted that that particular burial was, in fact, Hubbard Bliss (along side of Mrs. Hubbard Bliss). No stone is visible today. ]
