Charles E. Putney Memorial Association

Published the commemorative book Charles Edward Putney: An Appreciation, this association was formed to honor Charles Edward Putney, an educator closely associated with St. Johnsbury Academy in Vermont. The Project Gutenberg record identifies the Charles E. Putney Memorial Association as the credited author or publisher of the memorial volume.

In the book’s foreword, the project is described as the outgrowth of an idea by former pupil Caroline S. Woodruff, which grew into an organized memorial effort. A chairman, finance committee, and publication committee were assembled to gather material and bring the book into print, suggesting a collaborative tribute shaped by students, friends, and colleagues.

The resulting work is less a conventional single-author biography than a collective remembrance. It combines biographical notes, poems, letters, and personal appreciations, presenting Putney as a beloved teacher whose character, mentorship, and example left a lasting mark on generations of pupils.
