PUTNEY.
Death of Irving Ketcham.

Irving Ketcham, 60. who had lived the
past eight to 40 years in one of the
hlHball houses IN this village, which he
bought. died at 500 o'clock Saturday
night after severe illness of several
weeks with acute brights disease and
after being in i'll health MANY years with
a heart trouble. His death was the third
that has occurred here on a Saturday
night and has brought sadness to the com
munity in the past four weeks.
Mr.. Ketcham was born March II,
1859, in AIillertOwn, n. Y. one of nine
children of Francis Falkins and Eliza
beth (Lane) Ketcham. Throughout his
life he followed the occupation of farm
ing. His early home was in the great
potato belt of Rensselaer, county. New
York, and he became an expert in pota-
to culture.
On Oct. >. 1887. he married Edna.
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James Will
son of Lansingburg, y. Y. Two children
We're born TO them, both of whom and
their mother survive. They are Francis
Filkins Ketcham. World war veteran
who was gasSed in France and who
lives at home, and Mary, wifcof Edward
Glynn of Springfield. Mass Mr.. Ketch-
am also leaves a brother, Alansing Ketch-
am of Johnsonsville, \. y. and nephews
and nieces in New York state.
In March, 1890, the family came to
what is now the Pond farm. formerly the
Reynolds place, on the river road to East
Putney, where Mr.. Ketcham established
the first milk route to this village, which
has continued ever since. although in 9th
er hands. Mrs. ketcham's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Wilson. came later to the
Twin farms adjoining the Pond place.
Mr.. Ketcham's last farm was on Depot
road and is now owned by Merritt How
ard. In connection with his farm work
there he did trucking. but for the past
few years he had no regular Occupa-
ton.
No matter how hard or how long he
worked he always found time to raise n
few flowers in his garden, and the giving
of the blossoms to others was a source
of much happiness to him. He was a
kind neighbor, never sparing himself to
serve others, and he viii be greatly
missed in the community.
The funeral will be held in his late
home Tuesday at $50 o'clock. The burial
will take place in the family lot in Mt.
Pleasant cemetery.
