65 CAN and his wife Josephine Hartman is 45 KS. He is a son of George Young
Putman and Elizabeth Ann Dunn from St. Catherine’s, Lincoln County Ontario.
They were all there in the 1881 Canadian Census. The family must have come down
in the later 1880s or 1890s as Elizabeth was widowed here in the State 1895
census. This is a Dutch line going back into New York State. John will die here

was here with the kids in 1915 and no Emmett. He was in Kansas City, Missouri
with his new young wife, Ella Palmer, and a 3 year old
son Orville in 1920. He married Emma there August 12, 1918. Flora was remarried

married daughter Gladys 24 KS and her husband Wesley Stover 24 KS are here as

County, Missouri before coming to Kansas in 1885. They have been in Fort Scott,
Bourbon County up till now and are there again by 1930. No idea what they are
doing here unless they are getting Gladys settled. Gladys by the way will be at
home widowed in 1930. This is the Southern family that was just late comers as
best I can figure. I can only get them back to Virginia in the 1700s a hundred
years after my Thomas Putnam came there.

KS, Nellie Howk 32 KS, and William Warren 7 KS. Also

Thomas Putnam and Sarah Margaret Hensley. He was born March 26, 1883 in
Spencer, McCook County South Dakota, and has been here in Cowley County since
the 1890s. Dutch family originally from New York. Now, a bit of confusion. I
have been listing his wife as Beadie Fredericks and
she always says she was born in Kansas. But I have found 6 family group sheets
(all based on same one though it looks like) that say she is Beadie Smith Born June 22, 1883 in Boone County Indiana and
died in Burbank, Los Angeles County California October 11, 1965. It also say
Fred died there November 24, 1966. Her age jibes and the kids listed on the
sheet are same as the ones here in the censuses. So I am not really certain
what her name is, but she was born in Kansas and not in Indiana.

Laurel Irene Putnam, 80, founder of the Henry J. Putnam Scholarship program at
K-State, died Aug. 4 in Manhattan. In 1955, Dr. Putnam donated $100,000
in cash plus western Kansas farm property to the University in honor of her
late husband. Dr. Putnam added to the memorial fund in 1955 by establishing
K-State's first scholarship house, named Maitland Smith Scholarship House in
honor of her brother. Putnam Scholars are selected competitively from
Kansas high schools students on the basis of
merit. The scholarships may be renewed for four years of undergraduate
study. K-State will have almost 200 Putnam scholars on campus this year
with the incoming Putnam scholarship recipients. In 1961 in recognition
of contribution to education, K-State named one of its women's residence halls
(formerly Southeast Hall) in honor of Dr. Putnam. In explaining her
interest in young people said, "If you help a youth make the step from
high school to college so he can complete his schooling while he is young, you
have provided a benefit that goes on through the years." Dr. Putnam
was born in the Haverville community of Mitchell
County in 1887. After graduating from the Beloit school system, she
attended Kansas Wesleyan Business College in Salina. After attending
Kemper Hall, a school for women in Kenosh, Wis., she
returned to Salina to become a secretary with the Putnam Investment Co.,
founded by her husband. Dr. Putnam earned her A.B. degree from Western
Reserve University. In 1927, she received her M.D. from Rush Medical
College in Chicago. She interned at Los Angeles General Hospital
for two years before returning to Kansas. After her husband's death
in 1940, she returned to medical school. Dr. Putnam was assigned to the
Indian Service in Nevada. In 1948 she retired and lived with her brother
Maitland Smith on a farm near Atlanta in Cowley County. She moved to
Manhattan about 10 years ago. And From the dedication program of Putnam Hall,
January 14, 1961: A woman who, because of lack of funds, was
unable to fulfill her early ambition to go to college, endowed at Kansas State
University one of finest scholarship programs in the country. A gift by Dr. L.
Irene Putnam as a memorial to her husband, the late Henry J. Putnam, provides
scholarship assistance for as many as 100 of Kansas' finest young men and women
every year. She also gave the University the Maitland E. Smith house,
K-State's first scholarship house for men. Dr. Putnam's ambition was to become
a teacher, but as one of eight children, a college education was financially
out of reach. Upon completing high school she took a business course,
became a stenographer, and started saving her money. Eventually she put
herself through medical school. Both Dr. Putnam and her husband had a deep
interest in education, and she decided an investment in Kansas youth of
exceptional promise would be the finest investment she could make.”

Now in 1940 Willis is in Stafford, Kansas. They moved out to Los Angeles by

is from Kansas too and they were out there married in 1935 as well as now.
Guess they met here and took off to the Golden State. 1935 was the height (or

won’t find it so hot if you ain’t got the dough ray

down yet.
JOE PUTMAN Oxford Township, Johnson County
He is
54 single and born in Belgium. He was in Shawnee, Johnson County in 1930. He
states he came to this Country in 1886. If you look at the 1910 and 1920
Wisconsin Census in Green Bay, you’ll see a Puttemanns
family from Belgium that came to America in 1856. He wasn’t listed with that
family then, and because of the spelling the family was listed as Pittman and
lots of other ways. I assume he is connected someway to that family. The
writing on this entry was tricky and the 1886 date is very likely 1856 as well.

Harrison Kimball Putnam and Henrietta Crippen from Massachusetts. He married
Irene in 1930 out in Los Angeles, California, and he will die here later this
year on November 2, 1940. Then this interesting obituary for Irene in 1967: “Dr. Laurel Irene
Putnam, 80, founder of the Henry J. Putnam Scholarship program at K-State, died
Aug. 4 in Manhattan. In 1955, Dr. Putnam donated $100,000 in cash plus
western Kansas farm property to the University in honor of her late husband.
Dr. Putnam added to the memorial fund in 1955 by establishing K-State's first
scholarship house, named Maitland Smith Scholarship House in honor of her
brother. Putnam Scholars are selected competitively from Kansas high schools students on the basis of merit. The
scholarships may be renewed for four years of undergraduate study.
K-State will have almost 200 Putnam scholars on campus this year with the
incoming Putnam scholarship recipients. In 1961 in recognition of
contribution to education, K-State named one of its women's residence halls
(formerly Southeast Hall) in honor of Dr. Putnam. In explaining her
interest in young people said, "If you help a youth make the step from
high school to college so he can complete his schooling while he is young, you
have provided a benefit that goes on through the years." Dr. Putnam
was born in the Haverville community of Mitchell
County in 1887. After graduating from the Beloit school system, she
attended Kansas Wesleyan Business College in Salina. After attending
Kemper Hall, a school for women in Kenosh, Wisconsin,
she returned to Salina to become a secretary with the Putnam Investment Co.,
founded by her husband. Dr. Putnam earned her A.B. degree from Western
Reserve University. In 1927, she received her M.D. from Rush Medical
College in Chicago. She interned at Los Angeles General Hospital
for two years before returning to Kansas. After her husband's death
in 1940, she returned to medical school. Dr. Putnam was assigned to the
Indian Service in Nevada. In 1948 she retired and lived with her brother
Maitland Smith on a farm near Atlanta in Cowley County. She moved to
Manhattan about 10 years ago. And From the dedication program of Putnam Hall,
January 14, 1961: A woman who, because of lack of funds, was
unable to fulfill her early ambition to go to college, endowed at Kansas State
University one of finest scholarship programs in the country. A gift by Dr. L.
Irene Putnam as a memorial to her husband, the late Henry J. Putnam, provides
scholarship assistance for as many as 100 of Kansas' finest young men and women
every year. She also gave the University the Maitland E. Smith house,
K-State's first scholarship house for men. Dr. Putnam's ambition was to become
a teacher, but as one of eight children, a college education was financially
out of reach. Upon completing high school she took a business course,
became a stenographer, and started saving her money. Eventually she put
herself through medical school. Both Dr. Putnam and her husband had a deep
interest in education, and she decided an investment in Kansas youth of
exceptional promise would be the finest investment she could make.”
