Charles E. Putney Memorial Association

The Charles E. Putney Memorial Association appears to have been a commemorative group formed to honor Charles Edward Putney (1840–1920). The association is credited as the publisher or authoring body behind Charles Edward Putney: An Appreciation, a public-domain memorial volume available through Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive.

From the surviving record, the group seems to have been made up of people who knew Putney personally or were shaped by his work, especially former pupils and admirers. Rather than functioning as a literary author in the usual sense, the association served as a collective voice, gathering memories and tributes to preserve the story of a respected teacher for later readers.

Because information about the association itself is limited in the sources available online, not much more can be confirmed with confidence about its members or history. What does remain is a clear sense of purpose: to remember Charles Edward Putney with gratitude and affection, and to share that remembrance in book form.
