Putnam County Obituary and Canal Meeting News
Father A B Turrell died Tuesday evening at his son in law Henry Tuntéts Snachwine home from an ax accident two weeks earlier. He was an elderly abolitionist with a long New York Silversmithing career and five children. A large Putnam County meeting at the court house urged Congress to fund the Hennepin to Rock Island canal and feeder to Dixon, praising Rep. John Hawley’s effort and naming organizers and joining committees. The issue referenced the Wennevin Canal proposal and local grand jurors for March term.

A new rail connected canal would double boats at locks and allow trains to pass, aiming to cut freight rates from Rock Island to Chicago. Cost of extending to Rock Island cited at 4 million dollars.
