Also here are her widowed daughter Mary Dempsey 45 MA with two of her kids, her single daughter Sarah M. 40 MA and another widowed daughter Louise K. Clark 35 MA.

This is a confusing listing. I’m putting it down as shown, and then will try and explain it. Mary is 31 MA MA MA and says she has been married since she was 19. Then there are Shirley A. sister 7 MA, Otis F. brother 6 MA, K. Maxine sister 3 MA, Lillian sister in law 24 MA MA CAN, Ruth A. sister in law 16 MA MA CAN and Robert E. brother 16 MA MA CAN. Okay go back to the 1920 listing for Elmer Otis Putnam (from Mass) and his wife Nettie Pittman (from Nova Scotia). Robert, Lillian and Ruth are their kids. They also had a son Otis F. who would be 32 now. Then right after him was Mary and she was listed as a boarder. She just had to be Otis’ wife. The three youngsters are not brothers and sisters, but are children of Otis and Mary. Mary is listed earlier as being widowed and is a matron at an old folks home. Makes sense this way.
