============
UPDATED SEPTEMBER 11,
2021
The
Northwest portion of America was in dispute between the English and the United
States for many years. The opening of the Oregon
Trail in 1842 brought a great influx of American settlers into the area and
this led to the Treaty of Washington in 1846 and the area became a part of the
United States. In 1848 Oregon became a Territory and in 1859 it became the 33rd
state in the United States. The first census was taken in 1850 while it was
still a Territory.

obituary: From
the History of the Willamette Valley, "Enterprising, farsighted
and efficient, George Washington PUTNAM was accorded a prominent position in
mercantile circles of Salem, and as an agriculturist he was equally successful.
He was a useful and influential member of society and played well his part on
the stage of life. He was born in Herkimer County New York, in 1842, and his
parents, George and Margaret PUTNAM, were members of old and prominent families
of the Empire state, in which he was reared and educated. He taught school for
a time and about the year 1863 yielded to the lure of the west, taking up a
homestead in Minnesota. On February 29,1864, when a young man of twenty-two, he
enlisted in the Union Army and was assigned to duty with Company C, of the
Ninth Minnesota Regiment of Infantry. While in the service he was entrusted
with the handling of drugs and acquired much valuable knowledge regarding
pharmaceutical matters. Mr. PUTNAM was honorably discharged in 1865 and
operated a farm in southern Minnesota, where he was engaged in the drug
business. About 1875 he came to Oregon and purchased the old Geer donation
claim of approximately two hundred and eighty-five acres in the Waldo Hills
district. He cultivated the place for about fifteen years, following
diversified farming, and brought his land to a high state of development. He
constantly improved the property, which is still owned by the family. In 1889
Mr. PUTNAM moved to Salem and purchased the Matthews drug store on State
Street. At the end of about two years he secured a more desirable location on
Commercial street and was there engaged in business until his death in 1905. He
was an honest dealer and his wel-known reliability
brought him a large patronage. His son, George Ivan, afterward took charge of
the store and conducted the business for six years, when it was discontinued ‘Obituary, Daily Capital Journal, May 27,
1905: Sudden
death of G. W. PUTNAM. One of Salem's well known business men dies after short
illness. George W. PUTNAM, one of Salem's well-known and most respected
citizens, died suddenly at his home on
Center and Cottage streets at 10 minutes past 12 o'clock last night.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. PUTNAM had been in ill health for sometime,
there was no thought that death would come at this particular time, and his
death is therefore a heavy blow to his family and friends. All of yesterday,
until late in the afternoon, Mr. PUTNAM stayed in his place of business, and
not until his friends insisted upon his going home would he leave. Arriving at
his residence he rapidly became worse, and in a few hours, surrounded by his
loving wife and children, his spirit passed away. At the time of his death Mr.
PUTNAM was 62 years of age, having been born in the state of New York July 30,
1843. He came west when about 22 years old, and has lived here ever since. The
deceased leaves a wife and two children, one daughter, Marguerite, and a son,
Ivan, to whom the sincerest sympathy of the whole community is extended in this
their bereavement.”
