ALBERTA

 

OZLIAN (ORLEAN) PUTNAM  Lacombe, Alberta

He is 38 born Jan 21, 1863. He is single and lodging. He is a son of Ira J. Putnam and Rosanna Longnecker, and was born in Jefferson, Cass County Michigan. He is in Stratcona Alberta in 1906, as is his dad Ira. J. Putnam who is presently still back in Michigan. He was home in 1870 in Michigan, then single in Knox County Illinois in 1880. In 1884 he married Nellie Henderson there March 11, 1884 and they had six children most in Nebraska and one in Texas in 1895. They were divorced in the late 1890s. Nellie and the kids are there now and she will be through the 1930. Orlean will die in 1946.

 

GEORGE A. (ABRAM?) PUTMAN  Pincher Creek, Alberta

He is 42 USA, born November 14, 1858. His wife Nettie, Julia Annette Reynolds is 36 US born July 17, 1864, and they have a son whose name looks like Rile born in the US. He is a rancher. His wife is Julia Annette Reynolds who is a daughter of John Reynolds and Julia Ann Putnam. Julia was a daughter of Orlean Putnam and Amelia Vanderhoof from Cass County Michigan. Can’t figure George though. He looks like the son of Henry and Sarah Putman as shown in 1870 in Sparta, Monroe County Wisconsin. But I have no idea who Henry was except he would be on the New York Dutch line. They were in Latah County Idaho in 1910 and 1920 and will be in Crook County Wyoming in 1930. They have a son Lyle who was born in Mitchell, South Dakota May 18, 1895 who is currently in the Army I guess. He registered here in 1917 and will be with the family in 1930. In his registration, Lyle says he is in the moving picture business.
