Epilogue
Putnam died in Brooklyn, Connecticut ten years later in 1790 and was buried in an above-ground tomb in the Brooklyn town cemetery. Within a few years, however, the site became so overrun with hero-worshipping, that the badly-mutilated marble marker was removed for safe keeping to the Capitol Building in Hartford.
In 1888, Putnam’s remain were removed from the Brooklyn cemetry and placed in a sarcophagus built into the foundation of a monument, newly erected on a plot of ground near the Brooklyn town green.--Fibulator 13:51, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
