ALBERTA

 

WORTHY PUTMAN  Edmonton, Alberta

He is 22 born USA April 18, 1889. He is single and listed as brother in law of Elias and Lydia Amy Sammis. His sister Lydia is 25 USA.

In 1880 there was a 1-year-old kid named Lucien D. who was a son of Adelbert and Hannah Putnam in Putnam County. Adelbert was a son of Dexter and Ruby Putnam and I just bet the initial D. is for Dexter. This would be him.

NEW BRUNSWICK

 

HAROLD PUTMAN  Florenceville, Carlton

He is 15 March 1895 USA. He is with a Kinney family and listed as a son. My best guess is Harold Bickford Putnam born 17 Mar 1896 in Malden, Massachusetts, a son of George Francis Putnam and Isabell Wakeham. George died in 1902 and Isabell died in 1903. This left Harold on his own, and I guess adopted or something. They were in Malden in 1900. He was in the military for a while. I have no idea where he was in 1920. In 1930 he is single in Detroit and a printing salesman and then in a suburb, Northville Township, Wayne County Michigan in 1940. He married Beatrice Morgan in Detroit October 9, 1936.
