RESPONSE: Hello, Wanted you to know I found a bit more of what appears to be some connection to this Matthew M. FEEHAN. I just don't know exactly how it is a connection. I will pass on to you my findings. Hopefully the name/s will mean something to you. 1930 Brasstown, Towns, GA Dwelling 35-35 PUETT, George, 37, mar. at 25, b. GA; parents b. GA . . Bertha P., 37, wife, mar. at 19, b. GA; parents b. GA . .Blanche, 16, dau., b. GA . . Elmer, 13, son, b. IDAHO . .Mae, 9, dau b. GA . .Bernice, 6, dau, b. GA . .Carl, son, 3 yrs 4 months, b. OHIO . .Loyd, 6 months, son, b. OH FEEHAN, Edna, "niece", 12, b. IDAHO, father b. Kentucky, mother b. GA 1920 Kellogg, Shoshone, IDAHO Dwelling 391-764 PUETT, Geo., head, 34, b. GA; parents b. GA - smelter laborer . .Bertha, wife, b. GA; 26 yrs . . Blanch, 5, dau, . .Elmer, 2, son FEEHAN, Matt (sure looks like Matt but . . says NIECE, 1 yr 3 months, b. IDAHO, father b. KY; mother b. GA NOTE: So, possible it would appear that the Edna, age 12 on the 1930 and the Matt on the 1920 are one and the same. I am wondering if this is a child of this Matthew M. FEEHAN and his wife. As of the 1910 census, George W. PUETT is NOT married and is in Douglas, Converse, Wyoming and is a laborer. Since in both cases, this Edna or Matt FEEHAN is listed as a NIECE, that should mean that they are a child of a BROTHER of the head of the household or the child of a sister who married a FEEHAN. Sometimes they make a mistake and the niece is actually a relative of the wife of the head of the household. In this case, it would be this Bertha P. However, later findings regarding it being a relative of the wife don't seem to pan out. I found that George W. PUETT registered for the WWI Draft but it states he was found not fit for duty because of rheumatism in his legs. His birth is given as 9-2-1889 and his address as: Shoshone, ID. States he has a wife and a child as of when he signed the WWI Draft Registration on 6-5-1917. He worked for a B H and S Co.. Stated his birth was at Young Harris, Georgia. George PUETT's SSDI gives that he was born on 9-2-1886 but it still appears to be him. He died on July 1975 and his SS N was issued in OH before 1951. His last address is given as Hacienda Heights, CA in Los Angeles Co., CA. I live in Orange Co.; however, Hacienda Heights is maybe 25 minutes north of where we live in LA County. I also found Bertha P. PUETT's death record in CA. She is listed as born 6-11-1893 and died May 1990; Her SSN was also issued in OH bef. 1951. On our CA Death Index it states she died on 5-27-1990 in San Bernardino Co., CA and that she also was born in Georgia. Her mother's maiden name is listed as: SHULLER and her father's maiden name is listed as: BROWN. Her full name is given as: Bertha Pearl PUETT.
