Obituary: "Mrs. Isaac Putman died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. W. M. Harp, three miles east of Ohio City, on Monday, May
3, at two p.m. After several weeks of suffering, death came as a message to
release her spirit from this earthly home. She was hugely respected by all who
knew her in the community where she lived. She was converted and baptized when
young under the pastorship of Tobias Koogle. Her life has been an example of
faithful, loving and devoted service; she has lived a long and useful life, now
her work is done and she has gone to her reward. Mrs. Putman, whose maiden name
was Sophia Mihm, was born in Seneca County, New York State, January 6, 1832,
aged 88 years, 3 months and 26 days. On August 15, 1850, she was united in
marriage to Isaac Putman, who preceded her to the great beyond. To this union
was born nine children, Fidelia King, deceased; Hugh Putman, Ohio City; Solomon
Putman, of Van Wert; Elic [Alec] Putman, Van Wert; Mary Krick of Celina; Rosa
Agler and Margaret Harp, of Van Wert County; Lora and Frankie who died in
infancy; forty-three grand-children, sixty-nine great grand children. Besides
these she leaves one sister, Lovina King, and a host of friends and relatives to
mourn her departure.
