Israel Putnam 2nd bap 17 Nov 1754 in Topsfield, Essex, MA (3643). He b 20 Nov 1754 in Salem Village (3544, 3645). He in 1790 (3646) and 1800 (3647) and 1810(3648) Danvers cenus. He died in Aug 1820 in Danvers (3649). He buried oldBurial Ground at the Plains (3650). Israel Putnam, says the Essex Register, Salem MA, announcing his death, "was a highly respected and worthy citizen," a pure and upright man, he was withal of a very devout spirit. He embraced the Universalist views which were appended to a paper organizing those who signed it into the First Universalist Society of Danvers. In furtherance of the object to establish stated preaching of the doctrine which they professed, the subscribers, with other friends, met six days later, on the 28th, at the Brick School House, District No 3, in which most of them lived, whereuopn Mr Putnam was chosen moderator and Treasurer, with Warren Porter as Clerk; and adopted to engage the services of ministers and to raise money to defray the necessary expenses. Reverend Hosea Ballou and Reverend (afterward Honorable) Charles Hudson and other noted men occupying the desk. Thus early, Universalism was established in Danvers. Mr Putnam, it is believed, occasionally read to the little knot of believers certain sermons which he himself wrote, out of his deep interest in the new movement and the views which it was designed to propagate. One or more of these he printed in pamphlet form and circulated in the neighborhood. One of those was a discourse, entitled "Universal Death in Adam and Life in Christ, continuing a Refutation of the Doctrine of Total Depravity and Endless Misery," (1817), and was a very well writted and ably reasoned production. Though the sermon was marked with admirable temper, it called forth a scurrilous printer rejoiner from a Mr Dole, one or two other publications on either side giving the continued disscussion of the subject. About the time Mr Putnam died, the little society lost another of its highly esteemed and greatly beloved members, Mr Joseph Porter. Rev Barzillai Streeter preached and printed a sermon, occasioned by the death of these two excellent Christian men, in which he paid a fitting tribute to their noble characters and to the brave and decided stand which they had taken for the cause of religious liberty, as against the oppresive creeds and Parish Rate System which had been in vogue. Mr Putnam was a conscientious and thoughtful man, much venerated by all who knew him, specially devoted to religious matters, and exceptionally familiar with the Scriptures.
