was born here in St. Louis July 31, 1904 and will die here January 21, 1981.
They were married here in September 1924.
He is
42 MO MO MO. His wife Lulu Priett is 41 AR. He is a brakeman for the railroad. He is a
son of William Putnam and Lydia Jane Moseley and was born here. The family was
in Washington County Arkansas in 1910 and that’s where James met and married
Lulu in 1909. They were in Calloway County Missouri in 1920. There is a death
record that Lulu died in Callaway County April 17, 1936. This is the Putnam
family out of Jefferson County Tennessee.
He is a
Negro 21 TN with a wife Lottie.
He is
35 IL TN TN and is widowed. He has two kids Nora 10
MO and Maggie 9 MO. He lives with his widowed and then remarried and now
divorced mother Mamie Braswell Dufaune 53 TN. If you
look back in 1920. There was a Vinnie Putman here living as a daughter in law
of Robert Dufane. Vinnie’s husband was Stanley
Putman. In 1900 Mamie and Jewel were
here in St. Louis and she was widowed then. So, the guy’s name is Stanley
Jewell Putman or Putnam. Well, just found some more new info when I came across
his death certificate. He died here June 4, 1942 and his name was indeed
Stanley Jewel Putnam. His dad was Alonzo Putnam from Tennessee and his mother
Mamie Braswell from Michigan. So why I couldn’t find Stanley in 1900 was that
he was listed as Jewel with his mom right here in 1900. I still can’t find him
in 1910, and he’s back to using Jewell again now. There is a death certificate
here in St. Louis for a Mina Pearl Putman who died at age 4 months on July 31,
1929. It says her father was Stanley Putman born in Illinois and her mother
Audrey Jones also born in Illinois. There is also a death certificate for David
Putman who died July 9, 1929 at age 1 year 9 months. That one says the father
was Jewell Putman and the mother Audrey Smith. So he was married again in the
later 1920s to Audrey Smith or Jones who has recently died. There must have
been a plague or illness or something and I assume she died in July 1929 when
their two kids died. Then I decided to try and figure his dad out now that I know
his mom’s name. Well there was only one Alonzo Putman ever born in Tennessee
and he was a son of David and Mary Putman from Rutherford County Tennessee,
born there in 1867. I still can’t find him in 1900, but he is in Nashville,
Tennessee in 1910 with a wife Nettie. They had been married 9 years and that
was his second marriage. Obviously the first one was right here with Mamie
Braswell. He went simply by the name Lon and was in Nashville in 1910 and 1920
and canմ find that family in 1930. So based on these 2 death certificates I was
able to figure out about 4 marriages, find the identity of a bunch of people
using strange names. Sounds good, but took over 6 hours to sort it out, fix God
knows how many census records, and fix up Alonzo’s ‘history’ in the Jabel
Putman of Tennessee Section where you can find Alonzo and his folks David and
Mary.

He is 23 AL, his wife Jonnie Olene Holcombe 18 AL and James F. 10/12 AL. He was single in Escambia County Florida in 1935. I can’t find him ever in Alabama. There is a Tennessee Death Record that states he was born in Blountsville, Blount County Alabama August 15, 1916 and died in Memphis, Tennessee September 1, 1958. He apparently was in a Veteran’s ‘VA’ Hospital in Memphis, but that his normal place of residence was 2408 Fifth Avenue, Birmingham, Alabama. He was in the hospital 27 days before he died. He served in WWII. States his parents were Frank Putnam and Lois McMurray. Also states his wife was named Lucille. So I finally find Frank Robert Putman who is his dad. Frank was a son of James E. Putman and Eliza Rutherford and was from Blount County. Frank registered for the WWI Draft in Birmingham and said he was married to Lois and they lived there. He was working for the railroad at the time. Problem is that I never see Frank or Lois anywhere in 1920 or 1930. I think he died January 4, 1922 in Cullman County Alabama.
