GEORGE DOWNING (PUTNAM) West, Cowlitz County
Rand somehow found this guy.
He is George Edgar Putnam a son of John Olen Putnam and Isadore Estella Esty
and was born in Kansas on April 14, 1888. He was with the family in Fairview,
Grant County Oklahoma in 1900. Don’t know where they were in 1910 and in 1921 they were in Westbridge, Yale County, British Columbia
Canada proudly using the name Putnam. They were in Washington State in 1922,
Fullerton, Orange County California in 1923, Anaheim, Orange County in 1925 and
1928 and were in Klamath Falls, Klamath Oregon in 1930, here in West, Cowlitz
in 1935 still using Putnam as a last name. He is here now in 1940 and in
Longview Washington in 1942 and will die in Cowlitz County August 23, 1961. Now
in 1940 he is using the name Dowling and so is his dad and from what I gather
from a family tree it was his dad John who took the name Dowling and Georgie
took it as well. I have no clue why it happened. Maybe his daddy did something
wrong and need a name change to hide. Anyway ɉ George is listed as a welder 53 KS, his wife
Jessie Jane Munro is 42 AR. She is his 2nd wife. They were married
in Yamhill, Oregon October 10, 1936 under the name Putnam. She was previously
married To Francis Abram Page and had 6 Page kids through 1922. Then she
married Alex Kess December 10, 1928 and they were in
Clark County Washington in 1930. She lost interest in him and married George.
George went to Bermuda in May 1936 and was using the name Putnam then as well.
Guess he changed his name when daddy snuck into town and kept it when he died
as George Downing in Longview, Cowlitz County August 23, 1961. Okay enough of
that confusing stuff. Here is the info as presently written here in the 1940

Railroad. The daughter Gretchen was born in Tacoma August 24, 1910 and will
marry John A. Mulkey and she will die here in Elma, Grays Harbor April 20,
1998. Now as to the son Alden H., he was at home in 1910 and I haven’t seen him
since. Found a family sheet that he died in 1915. All I can think of is that he
was institutionalized and then released or sent back home. Lots of mental
institutions were sending people back to their families like it or not. This
Alden doesn’t have a job or anything. Then the daughter Barbara never appears
with the family and may be a daughter of Alden hence the middle name or maybe
none of them exist. Then as to the death in 1915, he probably was wounded badly
in WWI and has been in the hospital since then. Now in 1940 young Alden is also
listed at the Veterans Hospital in Walla Walla.

In this 1940 census I have found dozens of single daughters who are
schoolteachers or in this case school librarians and every one is single. I was
in grade school in the 1940s and 95% of all teachers in public schools were
unmarried gals. They all had their names as Miss Jones, Miss SoSo and so on. They were referred to as school marms. Kinda a way of saying
school moms. Possibly they taught as they couldn’t find a husband and wanted
kids. Or, they taught and decided enough was enough and they didn’t need any
kids of their own or something. Not sure, but I challenge you to find a married
female school teacher anywhere in America in this 1940 census. Anyway, this
family came from Massachusetts to Maine back to Massachusetts to Minnesota to
Montana and here.

Found a note that his folks were Myers Putnam and Fanny Wheeler, and darn if

in 1920 and 1930. Myers was in Everett, Washington in the 1900 and Eaton, Idaho

is 78 VT and widowed. He is listed as brother-in-law of Clara McNally Putnam 41
CAN and her father Joseph M. McNally 78 ME. Best I can figure is David was a
son of Amos Putnam and Amy Bragg from Fairlee, Orange
County Vermont. He has been out here since the early 1900s. He married a
Henrietta who had 7 children from a previous marriage. But I can’t figure his
relationship to Clara Maude McNally and her father. Clara married Murdock
Everett McMillan in Everett, Washington about 1916. I don’t have her marrying a
Putnam. I do have her dying here in Centralia December 6, 1983. Maybe the
listing was father-in-law, but I don’t have him ever having any kids. Or maybe
his brother William from Maine had a kid that came out here. Just no good
ideas.

didn‘t have a son Joseph, but had a son Ivy, Ivan
Victor Putman, born the same age in Mentor Township, Clark County Wisconsin. He
was at home in 1910 and 1920 and then in 1930 he was widowed in Janesville,
Rock County. He had married Dorothy Fern Johnson September 26, 1926 and they
got back together and he stayed there till he died in 1961. So, Ivy wasn’t Joseph
and we are back to ground zero. No thoughts.
