PIONEER RESIDENT CALLED BY DEATH Frank H. PUTMAN, Resident of this Section since 1878 passes away Sunday (9/20/37) Franklin Harrison Putman, pioneer cattleman and rancher, passed away Sunday, September 20 at his home in Bridgeport. He was 82 years and six days of age at the time of his death, having reached his eighty-second year on Monday, September 13. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock at the C. G. Perry residence with REv. p. H. Spehr, Episcopal minister of Sidney preaching the funeral sermon. Burial was made in the Forest Lawn cemetery at Alliance, with the W. A. Canaday mortuary in charge of arrangements. Mr. Putman was one of the few remaining cattlemen of the old west, residing in this community. Coming to Ogallala in April 1878, he started life in this new country as a cattle-puncher for outfits whose herds ranged from Denver through eastern Colorado and northern Kansas to McCook, Ne. and from North Platte northwest through Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. He helped receive many herds driven north over the Texas Trail during his early days in this country. On one occasion, Indians drove off a portion of his employers' herds and nearly all of their horses. Until 1888 he worked for several different cattle outfits in Nebraska and Colorado, filing on a homestead that year, ten miles east of the site of where Bridgeport now stands. On February 9, 1890, Mr. Putman and Miss Emma C. Hutchinson were united in marriage at Harrisburt, Ne. Four children were born to them, two of whom died in infancy. In 1896, Mr. Putman sold the homestead and purchased a ranch four miles easy of the present site of Bonner, in Morrill Co. where the family resided until 1905 when Mr. Putman sold his cattle and ranch holdings to R. M. Hampton of Alliance. The old Putman ranch is now included in the E. A. Hall ranch holdings. During the years Mr. Putman owned the ranch near Bonner, the family made their home in Alliance, a portion of the time where the children attended school. In 1905 the Putman family moved to Bridgeport, where he purchased an interest in the Bridgeport Lumber Company of which was named president and Mr. Putman retained his interest and presidency until 1920. He made his home in Bayard from 1928 to 1934 moving to Bridgeport in the fall of 1934, making his home here until the time of his death.
