Henry, Mary Alice, and her three kids moved to separate apartments in the Colonial Hotel at the corner of 8th Avenue and 125th Street. He subsidized her and the kids. He told her he was going to stop doing so and soon thereafter, Evelina met her fate. She was interred at Green-Wood cemetery but I haven’t been able to find her plot. Evelina’s and Henry’s son, Henry Evelyn was the librarian at City College. He developed his own library classification system that isn’t used much here but is used in England. He was convinced Mary Alice killed their mother. Also, Evelina’s first husband, Robert Swift Livingston, died in his 80s; they were not divorced.

Thank you for all your posts, as always.
Mr...Hello! Thank you for all your posts, as always.<br />Mr. Bliss's death merited a plaque on 74th and CPW because it was the first automobile pedestrian fatality that ever happened in the U.S.! The plaque is still there and here is a link to that part of your interesting story: https://www.wired.com/2011/09/0913first-us-pedestrian-killed-by-car/#:~:text=1899%3A%20Henry%20Bliss%20becomes%20the,struck%20by%20a%20passing%20taxicab.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14803739600856554540noreply@blogger.com
