A GOOD WOMAN OF A GREAT FAMILY CALLED HOME

Catherine Nicholson Putman, daugther of John R. and Phoebe Snyder Nicholson was 
born July 23, A.D. 1850. Departed this life September 1, 1930, aged 80 years, 
1 month, and 8 days. She is survived by her husband, William Putman, and the 
following children: Melissa Myers, John Putman, and William Putman, also 
nineteen 
grand-children and nine great grandchildren, and also two brothers, Adam 
Nicholson, 
of Confluence,Pa, and Simon Nicholson of Berlin, Pa.

She united with the Mt Zion United Brethren Church in her girlhood days and 
remained faithful to "Jesus Christ", to her family and neighbors. Conscious 
to the end. Talking to her husband as she stepped in the Heavenly Chariot --
to take the greatest, the safest, the most thrilling as well as the most 
delightful 
trip. A trip from Earth to Heaven where God sits on his throne and where Jesus 
pleads the cause of his people and where they may forever enjoy the fruit of the 
Spirit, which is Love, Joy, Peace, Long=Suffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, 
Meekness, and Temperance all swallowed up in a love that never faileth through a 
boundless Eternity.

Funeral services were conducted in the Mt Zion United Bretheran Church at 10 
o'clock 
Thursday morning, September 4th, 1930 by Rev. A.J. Oridge of the First United 
Brethren 
Church of Shanksville,Pa. The text, Rev 2nd chapter and 10th verse, Be thou 
faithful 
until death and I will give thee a Crown of Life.

Catherine was the 12th of this family of 14 to answer Grand Pa Nicholson's 
prayer 
in his home and in the place of prayer.

It was found in John Wesley's daugher, Mary Katherine's, bible.
