Tuesday afternoon occurred the death of old gentleman, Mr. Punt, of whose sickness we made mention last week. He was eighty-three years old. He came to this country in the early eighties, and acquired a great fortune, being one of the great land owners in our county. Five sons and a daughter survive him. Funeral was held Friday at the First Reformed church, Rev. Lubbers officiating.
