She is 74 PA and has a 'companion' Lucie La Salle 23 IL and her daughter Florence 23 IL. In 1880, Anna was here with her husband L. Putnam from Pennsylvania also. Then I would guess she was still here, but the family was not shown in 1900 nor in 1910, but here she is. To answer your other question, I don't know who L. Putnam was.

JAMES PUTMAN
Columbus, Franklin County
He is listed 59 OH and lodging with William Peckinpaugh. I don't find such a guy in 1900 nor 1910. But, if the old handwriting was wrong (quite common) and the age was 50 and not 59 (again the handwriting could go either way), then he is the James C. who has been here since the 1890s, and he would be William and Mary's son from Adams County originally. The James C. listed here in Columbus for the past 25 years was married but had no children and that James C. is not in this report. I believe they are one and the same. Then there is a stray Mary coming up here in Columbus (again bad age), but maybe they simply got divorced. He will have a new wife and be in Howell County Missouri in 1930.
