Here's another obituary. - Jean Griesan Colorado We are pained to learn of the shocking death of William Pitt Putnam, Jr., a lad 27 years of age, and son of our old friend, William Pitt Putnam, of Belpre, Washington Co., who is well known to many of the older citizens of the county. On Thursday, the 4th inst., he was engaged with others at a threshing machine, and by some means was thrown against the master wheel, and so dreadfully mangled that death was the result within a few hours. We well recollect him as a lively, bright-eyed, amiable little boy, when he was from seven to ten years old; and he was coming up to be a young man of more than ordinary promise, and greatly beloved by all his friends and acquaintances. Ironton Register, September 18, 1856
