PUTNAM.--Mrs. Elizabeth R., relict of Eli Putnam, late of Boonvillr, New York, and daughter of Hon. Eli Rogers, late of Turin, New York, died in Boonville, July 14, 1876, aged 51 years. Early in life, at the age of fifteen, Sister Putnam gave her heart to the Savior. She united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she continued a devoted and esteemed member until the Master called her to join the Church above. She was a lover of all the institutions of the church, and shared in them as long as health and strength would permit. The disease was consumption, and by it she was long confined at her home. But there the Savior met her, and the Holy Comforter often cheered her heart. She was never heard to murmur or complain, but frequently said: "It is all right, my Father doeth all things well." A few hours before her death, when asked by her pastor if she felt the Savior with her now, when she was going down into the valley of death; "She replied,"Yes he sustains me now, I have given my dear children, and all into his hands, and I shall soon be home." Her end was peaceful. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." She leaves seven children who mourn her loss, but most of them share in the enjoyment of the sustaining influence of religion.
