He married Cora Margaret Carpenter (1872-1964)-P3 on June 2nd, 1891 in Houlton ME.  She was the daughter of Frank H Washington Carpenter (1845-1936)-P6 and Elvira A. Green (1850-1917)-P7.  Sometime before the birth of their first child, they had moved to Oakfield.  On May 29th, 1892, their firstborn son Frank Houlton Putnam (1892-1930) was born in Houlton, ME.  Amos is listed as being a merchant. 

On July 9th, 1893, their second son, Ervin Earl Putnam (1893-1988)-P1 was born in Oakfield, ME.  Amos is listed as being a farmer.  Their first daughter Margaret Louise Putnam (1895-1978) was born in Oakfield on October 18th, 1895.  Amos is still listed as being a farmer.  Harriette Carpenter Putnam (1898-1992) was born on March 2nd, 1898 in Oakfield.

At some point between the birth of Harriette and their last child Ruth Lydia Putnam (1900-1978) the family moved back to Houlton.  Ruth was born on January 17th, 1900 in Houlton and Amos is listed as being a clerk.  The 1900 U.S. Census has the entire family living in Houlton.  Amos is listed as being a Salesman of groceries, but this has been crossed out.  He can read and write and owns the house without a mortgage.  The city directory for that year shows him working as a clerk and the house being on Elm St.  Amos's mother Sarah passed away in 1901.

1910 U.S. Census shows the family living somewhere around number 6 Green Street.  The documents are a bit unclear as to the exact address.  Amos is a salesman of farm equipment and owns the house without a mortgage.

Amos was an active outdoors man and we have many photos of him in the backwoods of Maine. This love has been passed down the generations. 

The 1920 U.S. Census shows the family living at 6 Elm St. in Houlton ME.  Amos is living with his wife, Cora, three daughters and son, Frank, as well as Frank's wife Madge.  He owns the house without a mortgage and is employed as a custodian at a government building. 

His son Frank died on January 29th, 1930.  By the 1930 census, the family has moved to 9 Charles St.  Amos is working as a custodian for the post office.  It is likely that this is the government building referenced in the 1920 census.  He owns the house and it has a value of $6,500.  That equates to a 2016 real value of $199,000.  Cora's Father Frank and Sister Elvira are also living at the house.

 Amos died on May 25th, 1936 and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Houlton, ME.  Given the mark on his grave stone, he was a mason but I haven't researched this part of his history.
