PUTMAN, Dr. Joseph Reding - Pioneer Resident Is Buried This Morning - The funeral services for Dr. R. Putman, who died Monday morning as a result of a stroke of paralysis, were conducted this morning at 10 o'clock from the family residence in Putman addition. The services were conducted by the Rev. A.M. Foster, pastor of the Second Christian Church, assisted by Rev. J.T. Hinds, former pastor of the Second Christian Church, and Rev. N.M. Ragland. The choir of the Second Christian Church, which Dr. Putman was a member, also took part in the services.
Many out of town friends of the deceased and of the bereaved family attended the services from West Fork, Van Buren, Springdale and other points.
Interment took place at the Evergreen Cemetery. The following were pall bearers: Active, J.R. Stockburger, Tip Deaver of Springdale, Bruce Holcomb, J.H. McIlroy, C.R. Gilbreath and J.D. Jordan; Honorary: Charles Johnson, Prof. B. Mitchell, Crave Broyles, Will Armstrong, Andy Mhoon and George Puterbaugh.
Dr. Putman was one of the pioneers of Washington County and one of our most beloved and respected citizens. He was born in 1830 and moved to this county in 1836. Seldom do men attain such an age and enjoy the long-continued friendship and companionship of such a host of friends and the reverence of a beloved family.
