Mary Elizabeth Bliss

Mary Elizabeth Taylor Bliss (April 20, 1824 – July 25, 1909) was the daughter of President Zachary Taylor and First Lady Margaret Taylor. She served as White House hostess due to her mother's ill health.

On December 8, 1848, Mary married William Wallace Smith Bliss, the future president's secretary. Bliss died in 1853.
