The Putnam Family Reunion-Starting on the back row

Putnam Family Reunion, Houlton, ME-1922
Let jump to the back row of photo.  

Back Left to Right
34. Fred Putnam, son of of Albert Temple Putnam and Cordelia W Putnam.  He was the father of Cordelia Putnam (#29) and Albert Putnam (#33).  He was my second cousin 3 times removed and would have been about 42 in the photo.
35. Charles P Barnes, Charles Putnam Barnes was the son of Francis Barnes and Isa Angeline Putnam. He married Annie Maud Richardson (#11) and 6 children.  Their two youngest, Margaret (#13) and Frances (#12) are in the picture.  He was the Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives and Chief Justice of the Maine Supreme Court. He was my first cousin, 3 times removed and would have been about 52 years old at the time of the photo.
36. Bernard Archibold, husband of Emma Ruth Putnam (#18).  They were the parents of Mary (#15), Ruth (#17A) and James (#32).  He worked as a lawyer, which may explain way his son went into law.  He was likely 41 at the time of the photo.
37. John O. Willey, Husband of Beatrice Putnam (#30).  He was about 31 when the phto was taken.
38. Varney Putnam-Uncle Henry’s Brother, son of Amos Putnam and Christina Wormwood.  He was my 2nd Great Granduncle and would have been about 83 in the photo.  The Henry they mentioned was likely his brother Henry Harrison Putnam who died in 1921.  It looks like the Oldest person in the photo was holding the youngest,  Benjie Putnam, who was probably not even a year old yet.  
39. Benjie Pierce,  The youngest person in the photo, Benjamin Putnam Pierce was the son of Leonard Pierce and Anna W. Putnam (#25).  He was my second cousin, twice removed and would have been about 10 months old in the photo.
40. Clarence Pierce, father-in-law to Anna W. Putnam (#25) and grandfather to Leonard (#24), Jotham (#17), Francis (#27) and Benjamin (#39).  He would have been about 74 in the photo.

I'll add the last batch tomorrow.  After that I hope to figure a way to display how they are all related to each other.
