Not Father But brother Dead.
It was stated in our "last issue
that ,Rev. D.. F. -Putnam had
been called to his old home on
account of the death of his fath
er.' This was a mistake, as it
was his brother, Mr. P. A. Put
nam, who was. dead. The 'error
was made in the copying of the
message by the operator. The
message read: '"PA Putnam
dead;' As the children, .now
men, always called their father
Pa, it was quite natural that Mr.
Putnam thought it was Pa, , and
not his brother, P. A.
