Mrs. Selma Putnam, widow of the late
George W. Cowdrey, died at her residence
on School street ednesday afternoon, Sep
tember %, in the 73d year of her age. For
some time past, Mrs. Cowdrey's health has
been impaired but since her return from New
York where she spent the winter and spring
months, she grew steadily worse although
she was confined to her room but six weeks
before the end came. Mrs. Cowdrey was
born September l3, 1925, in Springfield, Vt,
but for great many years has been resi-
dent OF this town, living here some time pre-
vious to her marriage with Mr.. Cowdrey,
which occurred in 1862. She was constant
attendant at the Congregational church and
until her health failed, took an active part in
the society. A woman of singularly pleasing
appearance, she also possessed many excel
lent qualities of mind and heart and her
death will be keenly felt by her friends of
whom she had a large number.
She leaves two sisters, Mrs. Edward Liv-
ingstone Bishop of New York and Mrs.
Maria Jones OF Denver, COL; also two
brothers, Prentiss Putnam of Chicago and
Jackson Putnam of Freweburg, N. Y.
