Anybody happen to know which cemetery Mr. Putnam is buried in? I'm supposing Chillicothe is the best guess due to his home being there at the time of death. I personally don't care much for the man seeing that he ditched the War effort at the end of '62/early '63 strictly because of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation but nonetheless he was in "our" Regiment and Company. He died Dec. 22 or 23,1892 at Chillicothe. A photo, if it exists is very much wanted. I haven't been able to turn one up anywhere, strange because of his active professional life. Notable Achievements: - represented Licking County in the State Legislature for 4 years - represented Ross & Highland Counties in the State Senate - Publisher of many newspapers - Private Secretary under Gov. Allen - Consul-General to Honolulu, Sandwich Islands under President Cleveland - married Ella Gertrude Ewing, of Chillicothe 14th of October, 1867 - great-grandson of General Rufus Putnam - son of General Rufus Putnam Thanks.
Tim:Find A Grave web site has a photo of his grave marker located in Grandview Cemetery, 300 Brookside Drive, Chillichothe, Ohio. Gives his rank as Captain in 31st Ohio. Died 1892. Richard --- On Wed, 7/13/11, Tim <cbj...@gmail.com> wrote:

Richard, I could have sworn I checked that at one time so thanks for directing me there again. I only wish they would have put "31st O.V.I" instead of "O.V.V.I." He resigned long before they became veteran volunteers shortly after Chattanooga in '64. Makes it appear he served throughout. I have a followup question about this in another post. Thanks again.
