You’ll see that I think Nellie is the wife of Daniel Proctor Putnam and Grace who was listed separately was their daughter. This is only a guess. Rand Putnam thinks this 1880 California census is the answer based on little old Grace and Hattie’s ages and birthplaces. The writing on this census could be HATTIE not NELLIE.

Ed Putnam came across this article:  GEORGE ALFRED PUTNAM joined the Marine Corps as a young man.  He took up flying and that was his profession for twenty-two and a half years, sitting at the controls of more than one hundred aircraft, mostly making a lot of noise, rather than speed, which the noise indicated.  In spite of it all, George felt the pleasure was worth the added suffering of weather, the cold winds and snow.  He flew the airmail for five and one half years, three years of those, over the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevadas, all just a difficult job to do.  After George and Clare were divorced, he went to Peru with the weather problem still existing.  There for eleven more years he flew planes over the Andes Mountains.  He felt that mountain flying was his appointed aptitude, but his health paid the price.  He acquired vertigo and had to quit flying in June 1947.  The loss of his profession hurt him deeply, but he did not delay picking up another.  He became the only diesel expert in the whole area.  In the last few years George has been repairing typewriters and adding machines.  In Peru George met and married Elisa Pezo in Yurimaguas, Peru.  Elisa had a son, Napoleon, from a former marriage.  George adopted the boy and he and Elisa had three more children, all born in Yurimaguas, Peru.  When George first arrived in Peru, he purchased several acres of jungle land along a tributary of the Amazon River.  He attempted to grow crops on the land, but the jungle grew too fast and he was not able to keep up with it with his equipment.  He decided to let the jungle alone for a few years while he worked and saved up money.  He planned to try again to work the land.  The socialist government of Peru had a different idea.  It passed a law that if property owners were not developing or cultivating their land, the government would have the authority to confiscate the property for the benefit of the public treasury, without paying the property owners a single dime.  That is exactly what they did to George, and he couldn't do a thing about it.  In 1986, George was eighty-five years of age and bitter toward the government of Peru for taking away his family's chance for a good living made off the land, or the opportunity to sell it for a good price.”

I have no idea who the Mary E. listed now in 1930 is. He will marry Clare LaPean in Colorado April 11, 1931. They are later divorced and he married Elisa Pezo in Peru on August 11, 1952. George was born November 9, 1901 and died in Peru December 30, 1986 at age 85.” I can’t find him in 1940, but he is in Washington DC in 1943. He is in Peru, South America in 1961 and on.

Then I find them in San Bernardino in 1930 indexed Putmar and listed as Albert L. 46 TX, his wife Stella 35 IL and Dorothy 8 CA. Those ages are more realistic, but still can’t find any earlier. Stella Owen’s find a grave has her folks as Owen Owens and Martha Andrews and she was born January 18, 1879 and died July 17, 1953 in Redlands.

His widowed mom is currently in Lodi, San Joaquin County. I couldn’t figure her out now in 1930. But when doing the 1940 census, she was still in Lodi and much more info was available on Ancestry and Family Search. So, Amelia Rageth was married to Charles Corrigan Putnam in Aberdeen, Brown County South Dakota April 1, 1910. They were in the City Directory of Fargo, North Dakota in 1910 and still in 1915.
