PUTNAM.--John Israel Putnam was born July 15, 1832, and died in Atlanta, July 
10th, 1889.  He was the son of Col. James M. Putnam, and grandson, on his 
mother's side, of Rev. John H. Milner.  He joined the Pinetuckee Baptist chuch, 
in Randolph county, Alabama, during the year 1855, and was baptized by Rev. 
Bro. Morris.  He was married in Griffin, in 1858, to Miss J. Augusta Porter, 
Rev. Adiel Sherwood performing the ceremony. He afterwards baptized Mrs. 
Putnam.  Israel Putnam was proud of his ancestry, being a descendant of the 
celebrated Israel Putnam, of American Revolution fame, and, on his mother's 
side, a descendant of the distinguished Milner family.  He was a man of 
remarkable energy and industry.  He had fine success as an insurance agent, for 
many years in Atlanta.  He loved church work, and especially Sunday-school 
work, and thus was very useful as a Christian.  But he has gone from us to the 
land of rest, for which he seemed fully prepared -- his faith remaining firm to 
the last, not wavering during his long and painful afflictions.  May God's 
blessing rest upon the remaining members of his family.
???????  M. Wood
