General Notes: Husband - William Putnam


He was reared in the locality of his birth and there passed his entire life, inheriting a portion of the homestead and acquiring by purchase the interests of his co-heirs, his possessions amounting to about one hundred acres. This land he farmed and prospered materially. For fifty years he held the office of justice of the peace, and performed considerably more than the ordinary routine work of that position, his fellows frequently consulting with him on matters of legal importance. When first he became active in political affairs it was as the champion of the Republican party, but in later years he changed his allegiance and was until his death a loyal Democrat, a constant worker in the ranks of that party. He was not identified as a member with any religious sect or denomination, but there was never a more eloquent or forceful argument for manliness and uprightness than his life, which was ordered along lines of temperance, industry and honor. Clean in morals, action and speech, his relations to his fellows was in friendly, open intercourse, and the strict rectitude of conduct that he unfailingly observed won from them admiration, respect and regard. [GPHWP, 1613]
