Ervin Earl Putnam (1893-1988) (P1) from 1941-1988

Surprisingly, I actually have less documentation from 1941 forward.  I also realized that most of the photos are still in physical form.  Sounds like another project.

1941-1950

24 Center St, Leeds, MA

The city directories show that they continued to live at the 24 Center St house until 1946.  I am missing the info for 1947.  In the 1948 directory the have moved to a few block over to 24 Upland Road.  They lived here to at least 1957.

In 1942, Ervin registered for the draft again.  There really isn't that much new information here other then we find out his phone number was 3517V.

1951-1988

The only thing of note in the city directories is that he stops listing his employment in 1957.  I am thinking that was because he retired, but if someone can fill in any of these blanks let me know!

The Achorage, Meduxnekeg Lake, ME

At some point after that he and Mary moved up to Houlton, ME.  They lived there until Mary's death in 1972 and grandfather continued to live there until the 1980's.  At some point in the 80's he would spend his summer at the family camp on Meduxnekeag Lake in Maine and his children's houses in Ohio.  I remember many a summer visiting the camp with him starting the wood stove in the morning.
Eventually, he had to move into a nursing home and died on March 10th, 1988 in Newark, OH at age 94.  He was buried at the family plot in Evergreen Cemetery, Houlton, ME.
