He was the eldest of two sons born to his parents. Was raised on the farm till he was 17 years of age, when he was apprenticed to Wyandt & Putnam, founders, at Wilmot. After serving three years, he worked about six years for the same firm as a journeyman, and in 1856 purchased a fourth interest in the business with which he continued connected till 1879, when he and his brother Hiram associated in the milling business at Wilmot as Putnam & Bro. They also have a custom mill in the township of New Hope....The Putnams are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and as a staunch Republican, J. W. Putnam is one of the Township Trustees. (965)
