OKLAHOMA 1940 CENSUS

 

The writing and transcribing here wasn’t great in 1930 and now worse in 1940 there are about two dozen families listed at Putman, but are Pitman, Pulman and others. Another thing is there are well over 30-40 families listed now in 1940 that were here in 1920 and the census people did not think they were worthy of being included in the 1930.
