Zerl Ole Putman #146

I had to look up this name to find out if it was real and spelled correctly. Pretty much.
Born August 21, 1914 in Corvallis Oregon. Died and was cremated in Crescent City, Del Norte, California September 7, 1983.
California Death Index lists: birth date August 2, 1914, mothers maiden name of Paulson.
World War II draft cards: address 802 Kings Blvd, Corvallis; 26 years old; birth date August 2, 1914; father E. A. Putman same address; employer Corvallis Hauling.
Oregon County Births: Zerl Ole Putman August 2, 1914 Benton Oregon, Earl Andrew Putman, Caroline Mary Paulten.
1940 Census: son, 802 Kings Road, helper, unpaid family worker.
1950 Federal Census: never married, son, living in Eugene, Lane Co, OR, piles lumbar from conveyor (occupation) at Saw mill under
I still wonder where this unique name came from, if Zerl ever married...
802 Kings Blvd is right across from Fred Meyer store, where the eco laundromat is now.

Working on the Master List, Phase 1 Complete

I guess I am to take on massive tasks solo. It took me about 4 weeks of working 2 to 7 hours a day to complete Phase 1 which was to alphabetize all the individuals listed in the Mid-Valley Genealogy Records.  I had to add up the 91 pages. 1,004 individuals have been listed, by me. That's pretty good! That's a lot of good work done. Four weeks worth of work. I knew it would take many days. I just had no idea how many. Cool Next, add/cross-check DAR records. DAR doesnt have plot numbers, just names and dates. Then check the Veterans list. Finally, go through the Find-A-Grave memorials one at a time to fill out, complete the list. FG currently lists 1,121 of which I must have recently added close to a hundred as I remember the figure was just a bit over 1,000 when I started. Taking a transcrption break tomorrow. I deserve it!!
