Bliss married Matilda Sophia Wilcox on [[April 17]], [[1879]] in Salt Lake City, Utah. Bliss, a member of the Mormon Church, was called to a mission in the southern states. Upon returning to Utah, he attended the University of Utah, and there became disillusioned with Mormonism. Bliss and his wife, who remained a devout follower, later divorced, and Bliss returned to his home state of Indiana.<ref>Information provided by E. C. Bliss, Bliss' grandson.</ref>
