He had never been in any other censuses, so I wasn’t sure who he was. But now living with these two, I will put him down as another of Joel Senior’s kids. They living with a Pomeroy family and there are more ‘paupers’ listed, so this is a poor house of sorts.

He is listed 28 MA MA MA and is boarding. He is a railroad conductor. Out on a limb here, but this census had lots of recording errors. The above guy was listed as E. R. and this guy E. W. so wrong right off the bat. I’m guessing they are brothers and this is Lester Clark Putnam. He was home with his folks in 1870 at age 18 and is nowhere to be found now in 1880. Just a guess, but two guys showing up at the same time both working at the railroad station kinda ties them in.
