Putnam, Pliny M. b. Mar. 17, 1819 d. 14 JUN 1883
DIED – June 14th, 1883, at his residence in Geneva, of cancer in the stomach, Mr. P. M. Putnam, aged 63 years. Mr. Putnam has been a citizen of Geneva since March, 1877, where he has followed various occupations of in an honorable and Christian manner. His life was an example of true piety. His hope in the future was firm and brought its reward in a peaceful end. Beloved and honored by all his acquaintances, his death is much regretted.
The funeral service held last Sabbath was attended by a large number of his friends, the M. E. Church being too small to hold all who came to pay a last tribute of respect. The services were introduced by reading the 90th Psalm after which, the people were addressed from the text found in I. Cor. 15-55. "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"
The body was enclosed in a beautiful rosewood casket, on which was placed a floral crown, and a cross of flowers fastened with black and white ribbons, the last gift of friends. Mr. Putnam's sickness was a long and lingering one which baffled all medical skill form the first, and was diagnosed a cancer of the stomach. (Geneva Review 21 JUN 1883 pg 3)
Card of Thanks. We desire to return our heartfelt thanks to the many friends for their kindness and sympathy during the sickness and death of our husband an father, and especially to Mr. C. C. Shumway for his untiring aid and attention during the long and painful illness. MRS. P. M. PUTNAM AND FAMILY
