There was an Ernest age 36 NY in Topeka by himself in 1920. Probably him. Then if you look at the 1910 in Topeka you will see a Nellie Putnam with a son Earl age 4 and they are with her dad David Clark. I don’t find Ernest in 1910, and I’ll bet Nellie Clark was his wife and they got divorced.

He is 49 Belgium and single. He has Adolph Deman 35 Belgium boarding with him. 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.

new wife of Henry Jasper Putnam. Henry is listed earlier living with his
brother. I don’t know why they are living separately. Here is her obituary from
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, 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.”
