Funeral of Israel Putnam. *
The remains of Israel Putnam, of
Atlanta, were brought down here on
the fouro’clock train yesterday af¬
ternoon and buried with Masonic
honors by the fraternity here, other
services having been held in the
Second Baptist church oi Atlanta.
Mr. Putnam was a native Georgian

jame. He was fifty-ssven years oi
age at the time of his death and
leaves a wife and two children, be¬
sides numerous friends, to mourn his
loss. His health had been bad for
several years past, in consequence of
which he had gone out of business
several months ago.
Mr. Putnam came to Griffin in
1858 and engaged in the book biisi*
ness, taking in Henry Brawner as a
partner in 1859. He sold out hie
share during the war and again went
iuto the book trade in Mobile in
1865. He afterwards went into the
insurance business and continued
in the same line after his removal to
Atlanta in 1865, representing the
leading companies mad becoming
an expert in the principles and prac-
tics of fire insurance.
Mr. Putnam was an active mem¬
ber of the Baptist church, and a mem¬
ber of the building committee for the
erection of the Baptist church in Snf-
fin. In Atlanta he belonged to the
Second Baptist church. He was a
pleasant and cultured gentleman and
a very-devoted man to his family.
