  • Married Fred Harold Greaves(1900-1985) on August 20th, 1924 in Houlton, ME

Margaret Louise Putnam was born on October 18th, 1895 in Oakfield, ME to Amos Putnam and Cora Margaret Carpenter.  She lived with the family and became a teacher once she became an adult.  On August 20th, 1924 she married Fred Harold Greaves in Houlton, ME.  He was a merchant at a grocery store.  

The couple had a child, Stanley Putnam Greaves(1927-2003) in Houlton, ME on June 30th, 1927.  Soon after this, they moved to Sherman, ME.  The 1930 U.S. Census shows them living in Sherman.  They may have had a second child, but the census record has it lined out, so I am not sure of the story.

Margaret died in Houlton, ME on May 5th, 1978 and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery.
