gone by 1900. Now come guesses. In 1900 there was a Leon Eldred the right age
in Franklin County. We think this may be this guy. He was with relatives and
may have been put down as an Eldred by the census guy. In fact he may have been
a Putnam, and perhaps an illegitimate son of Flora here. Not sure at all. In
1930 though he is back in Franklin County Vermont and married to a cousin, Bernice McKenna. Good luck here. Okay, think
I figured him out. Look at the 1940 census here in Omaha and you’ll find my
thoughts and reasonable guesses.

Harry H. Putnam in 1905 and they were in Dundee, Douglas County in 1910. In
1920 she was here by herself and listed as a stepdaughter of Frederick Bacon
and his wife/her mother Alice Bacon. She has been single here ever since. Harry
was a son of Herbert Langdon Putnam from Vermont and Laura C. Hale from
Wisconsin. He was born in Omaha in May 1885 and died or something before 1920.
Maybe WWI. Herbert was a son of Pliney Moses Putnam
and Mary Spofford from Windham County Vermont then Dodge County Wisconsin.
He
is 35 KS MA PA and his wife Philipipa C. is 35 PA and
they have John P. 2 NE. He is an attendant at an oil company service stations

LEON
PUTNAM Omaha, Douglas County
He
is 46 VT, his wife Bernice McKenna 36 VT and they have Glenwood 17 VT, Wesley
14 VT, Donald 2 NE and Arlene 1 NE. They had a son Norman in 1930 who would be
12 now, but has died I guess. Okay Leon is tricky. First time I see him (I
think) is in 1910. He was 15 VT VT VT in Bridgeport, Connecticut with his father who was
simply listed as Putnam 53 VT VT VT
at the time. Then I see him right here in 1920. He is listed 25 VT VT VT and a son of Sam Waterman
47 IA and his wife Flora 41 VT VT VT.
Okay, Flora is a daughter of Rollin Burton Putnam and Alice Eldred from
Franklin County Vermont. She was at home there in 1880 and gone by 1900. Now
come guesses. In 1900 there was a Leon Eldred the right age in Belvidere
Corners, Franklin County. He was with relatives and may have been put down as
an Eldred by the census guy. In fact he may have been a Putnam or perhaps an
illegitimate son of Flora. Not sure at all. In 1930 though he is back in
Franklin County Vermont and married to a cousin Bernice McKenney. The marriage
record in Vermont Gives his name as Leon Warren Putnam age 25, father’s name
Bert and mother Flora married to Beatrice Myrtle McKenney in Georgia, Franklin
County Vermont January 13, 1922. Bernice is a cousin of sorts as her mother
Myrtle was a daughter of Rollin Putnam from Franklin County. Rand Putnam found
his draft card info. It says his full name is Leon Warren Putnam and was born
April 19, 1895 in Belvidere, Vermont. He was living there in 1918 when he was
drafted. I looked it up, and saw that he was employed by Warren Eldred in
Belvidere Corners, Vermont. Aha thatճ the guy he was
living with in 1900 in Belvidere Corners, Vermont. Then I found a whole bunch
of family sheets stating he was born in Belvidere, Lamoille County and was a
son of Rollin Burton Putman and Alice Eldred. Well he never ever showed up in
any family census report with them. Rollinճ lasts
kids were born in the 1880s. His daughter Flora, who I mentioned earlier, was
born back in 1878 and would be about the right early age to have a kid at age
17 in 1895. She also wasnմ listed in any censuses in
1900 and neither was Leon. It was just tactful to have them hidden in the barn
when the census guy came around. Also, you gotta
realize Franklin County Vermont is on the Canadian border and in the real
boondocks. About like Appalachia, only a few miles north of both the Carolinas
and also Quebec, Canada and also probably the Arctic Circle
Jay Peek is great ski area there but English isnմ
spoken a lot. Same with Newport up in Orange County. Been there and the road
signs are in French. So ɉ. I think Burtճ daughter
Flora played around with Warren Eldred or one of his kids, had Leon in the back
seat of their Ford at the local drive-in movie and ԢlendedՊhim
into the family. Flora got looked at kinda hard so
she split with Leon, hitch hiked to Omaha and set up a new life. The Iowa death
index shows he was born April 9, 1895 and died February 6, 1971 in Council
Bluffs, Pottawattamie County Iowa. So Leon was here in 1920, in Vermont early
on and again in 1930 and then back here with his cousin for a while then to
Iowa and then call it quits. Whew !! Makes it more interesting is the son
listed here as Glenwood Putnam is Linwood Lawrence Putnam and is also now
listed in Buffalo County as Lenard 17 VT in the juvenile detention center
there. Linwood is buried as Leonard L. Putnam in Lincoln Nebraska. His
birthdate of September 24, 1923 ties in with Linwood. He died October 2, 1990.
Kevin who does research for findagrave.com, was big help on IDing Linwood or
Leonard.

when I found a family group sheet. He is indeed a Putnam, a son of Arthur Azrio Putnam and Pearl Alberta Gumphy.
Arthur is a son of Aaron Putman and Emma Crabtree from Livingston County
Illinois and then Jefferson County Illinois. Aaron was a son of Aaron Putnam
and Sarah Tenney. The family was from New Hampshire
and then Livingston County Illinois in 1880. Arthur was home there in 1900. He
was married to Pearl in Cherry County Nebraska in 1910. Then he was widowed and
back with his folks in Douglas County Missouri in 1920 and Melvin was there
then. He was also listed there in Tripp County as an inmate in jail. Then in
1930 Arthur and Melvin are in Bennett County South Dakota. No wonder I couldn’t
ever find Mel in Nebraska before. Anyway, Melvin was born in Cherry County
Nebraska July 16, 1912 and will die November 27, 1969 in Wray, Yuma County
Colorado. He and his wife Ivol Adelaide Ward are in
Larimer County Colorado in the 1950 census.
