that there never lived in Putnam
County a more highly respected and
generally beloved citizen.
He served throughout the Civil
War in the Confederate army. He
represented Putnam County In The
General Assemblies Of 1896 and 1919.
For many years he was an infiuenr
tial member OF the County Court q

the Presbyterian church. In all Of
the relations of life he measured up
to the highest standard.
For nineteen years he had been a

devoted to our order and his life was
a living exemplification> of ITS princi-
