PUTNAM WOMAN PASSES
 HER 1OOTH BIRTHDAY

the farm on what is now the Killing y road' known as the David Clark" place At that time there were no railroads hereabouts. What is now Eutnam was known as Wilkinsonville or Pomfret Factory. The Norwich & Worcester Railroad was opened in 1889. Mrs. Place then being nine years old.
 Mrs. Place was nineteen years old, in lSig. when the people of Pomfret Factory began an agitation to set oif town of their own from parts or killingly, Woodstock, Thompson and Pomfret. to be known as "Quinebaug Station. This met with opposition and caused a continuing wrangle un- til 1854 when the name Putnam was decided upon and the town was incorporated by the legislature. The first town meeting was held July 5, 1855. It was a day of great rejoic- ing and eeremonious celebration of the victorious outcome of six years of strife.
 Is A Baptist
 Mrs. Place first worshipped in the Baptist church of Pomfret. The meet ings were held on what was. until re- gently. the William May" farm a short ways west of the Gary school house. In 1S47 those living in Pom fret Factory received dismissal from the Fomfret church and began hold ing services of their own in various parts of the village, including the railroad station. One of the commit tee appointed to bring this about was David Clark. father of Mrs. Place.
 Mrs. Places husband, Stephen Place. died many years ago. She made her home with her brother and sister. David F.. Clark and Miss Rebec- ca Clark. until her brother died. After that she and her sister made their home on Fremont street, this city. The sister died some twelve years ago. After living alone in the home for several years Mrs. Place went to make her home with Mir. and Mrs. Pierce where she now resides.
 That Mrs. Place comes from long lived family is evidenced by the fact that her brother. David k. Clark, who. during his life was one of Put nam's most substantial citizens, lived to be eighty-six. Her sister, Miss Repecca Clark. lived to be well over eighty years old, and the mother of these three children, lived to be nine ty-six years old.
