I have a website about Bliss at http://www.geocities.com/charlesmx52/PPBLISS/main.htm

...which is where the memoirs originally appeared online (I typed it in myself) and also includes some song lyrics, sheet music, photos, etc. I have more material, but it's a free site and I've filled up the space I had available.

It is my understanding that "Paul" was NOT the middle name of hymnwriter Philip P. Bliss - he had a middle initial, but it didn't stand for anything. His son *was* named Philip Paul Bliss and was a classical music composer, which confuses things a bit, although any of the son's compositions would be from well after 1876. P,P, Bliss was born in Clearfield County, PA as stated on the cenotaph (monument) in memory of Philip and Lucy Bliss in the Rome Cemetery, Rome, PA; not in Rome.

I don't think I saw a reference to it anywhere, but there is a P.P. Bliss Gospel Songwriters Museum in Rome, Pennsylvania. There is information about the museum on my website.
