and married there in 1935. He lives on his dad’s farm here and works on it.

BARNEY
PUTNAM Hot
Springs, Garland County
He is a
Negro 44 AR married with a wife Geneva and son Barney.
CLEM PUTNAM Hot Springs, Garland County
He is 68
MI and his wife Emma Hartneth Tenia ‘Tena’ Johnson 53
SWEDEN. They were in Redmond, St. Louis County Minnesota in 1935. He is Clement
Putman and he and Tenia were in Stuntz, St. Louis
County Minnesota in 1930. She is his second wife. His first wife was Agnes and
they had two sons which she took with her. Best guess is that he is a son of
Clement and Emily Putman from Canada and he was with them in Bay County
Michigan in 1880. Age is off but rest seems okay. He will die in St. Louis
County Minnesota January 1, 1942 and Tena is still alive then. Dutch folks I
would guess.
She is 31
AR and has twins Fay Nell Putman and Ray Dell Putman 10 AR and a Clyde Thornton
12 AR. They live with her parents Fred and Mary Meredith as she did in 1930
when the Putman kids were 3 months old. Found a family sheet that she is Nettie
Anna Meredith born November 10, 1908 and will die here August 4, 1978. Sheet
has her marrying William Orlando Knox December 10, 1950, but no mention of a
Putman. Another sheet has her marrying 3 times but all names were
marked Private. Then hit gold on a sheet that says she first married Richard
Putman and had two kids, then married Ernest Thornton and had one son and then
based on the other sheets will marry Will Knox next. Anyway, Garland County
abuts Yell County and the only Richard Putman that could fit is the son of
Joseph Henry Putman and Missouri Edens from Yell
County. He was born in 1900, home in 1910 and in Jail
in 1920 and can’t find him any later. But he’s the right age and from the area.
There is a marriage certificate that she married R. D. Putman May 29, 1929 in
Hot Springs. She was 20 and he was 28, which fits his 1900 birth date. Then
that sheet gets interesting. Says she married Richard Putman May 29, 1929.
Don’t have info on Ernest Thornton, but will soon marry Charles St. Clair here
May 21, 1940. That didn’t work either so she’ll marry Joseph Willatt here October 3, 1946 and then William Knox December
10, 1950. Interesting.
