TROY Lois Eliza Putnam Brown, 89, died Saturday, September 18, 2004 at St.
Mary's Hospital in Troy. Born in West Day, N.Y., she was the daughter of the
late Ira George Putnam and Winfred (Templeton) Putnam and sister to the late
Carl Glenn Putnam. She moved to Corinth as a child because West Day was one of
the towns flooded to form the Sacandaga Reservoir. In 1937, Lois married
Kenneth Ernest Brown who died in 1970. They lived in Mass., R.I. and Conn. and
settled in Wynantskill in 1953. She worked for the New York State Department
of Taxation and Finance for 25 years. Lois was a member of the Third
Presbyterian Church for over 50 years, serving as a trustee and deacon as well
as serving on the board of the Presbyterian Home. She is survived by many
loving friends whose lives were made richer by her warm, generous nature, her
sharp wit and her undying spirit. Friends are invited to attend the funeral
service which will be held Monday at 1:00 p.m. at the Third Presbyterian
Church, 113 Winter Street, Troy with Rev. John Mcauley, pastor, officiating. A
private interment will take place at Lake Luzerne Cemetery. Contributions may
