He is a son of Edward Charles and Lulu M. Putnam from Saratoga Springs. He was home with his folks in 1910 and 1920. I can’t find them before, so not sure of his lineage.

 

CATHERINE PUTNAM  Albany 10, Albany County

She is 57 NY and widowed. She was here in 1910 and 1920 married to Charles Putman. Dutch family from Fulton County. I think her husband Charles is the one in nearby Schenectady who also is alone and says he is widowed. Hmmm.

In 1910 he is alone but says married in Brooklyn and in 1920 in New York City with a wife Bertha from PA. What ties this together for me is that he lists himself as a printer in 1910, 1920 and now.
