Mrs. Putman died in Toronto General Hospital. Her disease was gallstones and enlarged liver. She had been a great sufferer for over two years, though all was done for her that medical skill could do.

Her mortal remains were brought to Smithville to the residence of her brother-in-law, S.H. McDonald, on the 22nd; funeral services were held on Sunday, 23rd, Rev. S. Keffer officiating.
