HAZEL PUTNAM Pueblo, Pueblo County

She is 49 GA and says she is married, but not really. She was here in 1930 and married to Clarence Putnam who is currently in Los Angeles with a new wife Wanda. Maybe they are Mormons and can have a couple of wives, or maybe she doesn’t want to admit she is divorced or whatever. She did end up owning the house. She owned a beauty shop in 1930 and still does.

 

ELIZABETH PUTNAM Meeker, Rio Blanco County

She is 18 KS and rooming with Lawrence Hollingsworth 39 TN. The record says she is married but no sign of her husband. She lived in the same place in 1935. Good luck here.

 

DONNA BELLE PUTMAN  Center, Saguache County

She is 12 IL and is living with her stepfather Jack Duff 31 KS, mother Violet Duff 31 IL, and stepsister Peggy Duff 3 CO. You can see her with her mother in Spring Grove, Warren County Illinois in 1930 but no father is listed. Violet’s parents are Charles Henry Simcox and Margaret Lair. Violet Margaret Simcox was possibly married to Thomas Jefferson Putnam. Thomas is the son of John Joseph Putman and Martha Lewis from Gilmer County West Virginia and Fauquier County Virginia before that. Thomas was born September 18, 1893 in Roswell, New Mexico and died in January 1963. Southern Putman family. Now all family sheets say Violet was married to Tom, but I question it or maybe he had two wives or maybe just an affair. Thomas was born in New Mexico and has been in Arizona ever since and married to Minnie Gray. Then in 1930, Violet and Donna Belle are with her folks in Warren County Illinois and Donna say born in Illinois then too. But these family sheets say she was born in Center, Saguache County Colorado March 11, 1928. So I think we can say her dad was Thomas and mother Violet and leave everything else out.

 

NEIL A. (ADAIR) PUTNAM  Fort Lupton, Weld County

He is indexed as Neil Adairputnam 31 NY and his wife as Helen Adairputnam 31 MO. That’s why I didn’t find him till info in the 1950 where he is still here. His folks are listed next. See that for the info.
