ANITA PUTNAM  Atlanta, Fulton County

She is 64 LA and widowed. She has two sons Edward 40 AL and John W. 35 AL still with her. Okay, interesting and confusing all at one time. Anita Nicaud was the second wife of Edward John Putnam who was a son of Martin Mulford Putman from Canada. This is a Dutch family out of New York State. Edward was born when the family was in Cleveland, Ohio and home there in 1870 and 1880. In 1900 he was in Cincinnati with a wife Catherine Clark and 4 kids. By 1910 Catherine was there with the kids, so I guess there was a divorce. Anita would be new. They were married in New Orleans September 8, 1898 and the kids are hers. I don’t find them in 1910, but they are here in Atlanta in 1920 and in West Palm Beach, Florida in 1930 and she and the kids were back here by 1935. In 1920 the kids state their dad was born in Ohio and mom in Louisiana so they may be Ed’s kids, but I’m not sure.
