Posted by Pauline Rute Hall 52 Brown,
Dr. Janet Died peacefully in her Chestnut Hill home on April 6, 2014 at
age 83. Jan was born in Pennsylvania and grew up in Newburgh, New York.
She was graduated in 1950 from Mt. Holyoke College, and received an M.A.
in Psychology in 1951 and a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology in 1955 from
Yale University. It was at Yale that Jan became grounded in her work with
young children. From 1954-1957 Jan was a researcher at the Yale Child
Studies Center where she was involved with the data analysis of pregnancy
and the first years of life on a longitudinal study of normal children
conducted by the renowned Ernst Kris, MD and Katherine Wolff, PhD. Jan
also had training in developmental diagnosis with physician Sally
Provence. From 1957-1978 Jan was a Psychologist at the James Jackson
Putnam Center in Roxbury, MA. Historical Note: Dr. Marian Cabot Putnam
founded and became a co-director (along with Beata Rank) of the James
Jackson Putnam Childrens Center in 1943, in honor of her father, Dr. James
Jackson Putnam (1846-1918) who was a Boston neurologist. She established
the Putnam Center in order to provide treatment of pre-school and very
young children, as well as to conduct a long-term study of healthy
children, which became the Well Baby Clinic directed by T. Berry Brazelton
MD. The Center was opened under the auspices of the Judge Baker Guidance
Center but in July 1946 became an independent unit, incorporated as the
James Jackson Putnam Childrens Center. The Center came to specialize in
long-term treatment of autistic children. When Dr. Putnam retired in 1962,
over 200 atypical children had been treated. The decline of the Center
began in the 1960s with the progressive loss of federal and private
funding for psychiatric research and treatment. All psychiatric facilities
were affected, especially the university teaching hospitals, but the
Center may have been more impacted than most due to its small size and
specialized focus. The Center, located in Roxbury, Massachusetts, was
closed in 1979. For 21 years at the Putnam Center, Jan provided
differential diagnostic evaluations of young children; treatment of
children with emotional and developmental problems and their parents;
interdisciplinary training and supervision. She was involved with research
on the etiology, treatment and follow up of children with profound
developmental disturbances; interaction of constitutional equipment and
environment in the development of normal children; reaction of normal
children to the loss of a parent; etiology and treatment of antisocial
development, correlation of lead ingestion with psychological functioning
in children; stresses associated with inner city school desegregation;
development of projective tests for inner city children. Jan was Clinical
Instructor of Child Psychiatry (Psychology) and then Assistant Professor
of Psychiatry (Psychology) at Boston University. She lectured in Social
Relations at Harvard in 1969. After the Putnam Center closed in 1979, Jan
conducted a private practice as a Consultant in Child Psychology to the MA
Department of Social Services and other agencies until 1995. From 1980 -
2012 Jan conducted annual psychological assessments of the children
attending the Community Therapeutic Day School, a private, nonprofit
organization in Lexington for children with neurologic and psychiatric
disabilities. During these years Jan provided consistent and in depth
professional psychological evaluations of these exceptionally complex
children. She always brought an essential and special perspective to the
work with these children and their families that concentrated on each
childs abilities and disabilities. Jan would strive to find the very best
and the highest potential in each child. Her professional training at
Yale, her years of experience at the Putnam clinic, her diagnostic skills
with adoptive children and atypical children has given her a very unique
view of the internal cognitive and emotional life of the children. Her
compassion for the children, experience, and her professional skills
helped her to see many of the fundamental issues these children struggle
with in their lives, and the core of their strengths as well as their
disabilities. Jan was Fellow and Life Fellow, American Orthopsychiatric
Association; Fellow, Society for Research in Child Development; and
Fellow, Massachusetts Psychological Association. Jan's life partner of
almost 50 years, Margaret Davidson, died in 2011. They were avid members
of Women Outdoors, a national organization for women outdoor enthusiasts
and stewards of the earth of which Jan was a founder. Together they
traveled world wide and logged thousands of miles on many extended
camping, hiking, and canoe trips all over North America. A small memorial
service will be held in the fall at the Community Therapeutic Day School,
Lexington. Please emailCTDS1@verizon.net

of 87, on September 2, 2014. He was born in Newburgh, NY on January 29,
1927 to the late Spero and Katherine (Kalos) Chumas. His parents were one
of the first Greek families to settle in Newburgh and were instrumental in
establishing St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church of which Pete was a
member. Pete was very proud of his Greek heritage. One of the highlights
of his life was to be able to visit the homeland of his parents. While a

basketball, track and baseball. After graduation he worked for Fourtunis
and Chumas, the family wholesale banana business; as an ironworker; and
then as a custodian in the Newburgh Enlarged City School District from
which he retired. Pete was an active member of his community. A Boy Scout
in his youth, he was a lifetime member of the YMCA from age eight, where
he was an avid floor hockey player until well into his eighties. He was
also a member of the William Street and Washington Heights Social Clubs
where he developed many close friendships and enjoyed playing cards. In
his later years, he looked forward to his many trips to Las Vegas and
Atlantic City. Pete had a wonderful memory and loved telling stories about
his family and himself. He was an outgoing person who loved a good joke
and who didn’t have a problem speaking his mind. He never lost his zest
for life and always had a song in his heart and on his lips. The family
thanks the staff of Elant @ Meadow Hill for their appreciation of his
unique humor and their compassionate care. Pete is survived by his cousins
Mary and Helen Beldecos; sisters-in-law Antonette Chumas (John d.) and

Jesse son of the late Leonard and Harriet Freeman, was born September 7,
1928 in Newburgh New York. He died on April 13, 1994 after an illness of
40 years' duration. Walter received his education in the Newburgh public
schools. During his high school years, he and his brother, Leonard along
with two high school friends, formed the Nathaniel Dett Quartet and sang
sprituals. He was a dedicated scholar and ended his high school career
winning the top awards in every subject area, as well as the top
athletic awards. Walt was the first Black student to be enrolled in
Ithaca College, New York, but he only attended one semester. At that
time, there were no living accommodations for Blacks. After leaving
Ithaca, he entered the then Morgan State College in 1950, where he
distinguished himself scholastically. At graduation, Walt was a member
of Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society and the Scientific Honor Society. He was
elected to appear in who's Who of American Colleges. Walt also received
a plaque for the highest average in physical education, health and

From this union, three children were born Mrs. Karen F. Burdnell and
Mrs. Diane F. Wilson of Baltimore, and Walter Jerome Freeman of Upper
Marlboro, Maryland. Walt was employed as Physical Director at the Druid
Hill Branch YMCA. His greatest joy was promoting the basketball games
between his hometown of Newburgh and the young men and women of the
Druid Hill branch. The crippling effects of multiple Sclerosis overcame
his determination and strength and Walt had to retire due to disability
in 1967. A devoted father, husband, and churchman, Walt sang in the
choir at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church until he could no longer walk.
His last twelve years were spent under the excellent care of the Keswick
Nursing Home staff. While there, he was ministered to by the priest,
Reverend Noreen Suriner, and the people of Christ the King Episcopal
Church, where his family now attends. He leaves to mourn; his wife and
three children, Charlotte, Karen, Diane and Walter; his sister, and
brother, Mrs. Mildred Penfield of Newburgh New York and Leonard Freeman

Posted by Donna Schoonmaker
(Dorsey) Cl-74 I am Jack Schoonmaker's 2nd
eldest daughter. Sadly I will also be emailing about 3 of my
siblings who passed.......... Dad, called Jack... and also called
Jake by his work (Central Hudson Gas & Elec) friends... passed away
on Thanksgiving of 1984 as a young man of 56. He was married to
Jacqueline Barrows (Jackie) who was indeed from Perkinsville VT. Mom
passed away Dec.1st 2003. They met in Gardiner, NY. Dad worked on
his cousin's farm and Mom was visiting her sister on a neighboring farm.
Dad was the son of Kenneth A. Schoonmaker and Beatrice Handley. He grew
up on Townsend Ave., spent some time in Marlboro and then moved to
Delaware Ave. in the town, until his passing. Jack and Jackie were
married for 32 years and had 5 children, Kendra, Donna, Lynda, Kenneth
and Sheila. All of us went to NFA. Sheila did have a flower shop in
Washingtonville called Sheila's Flower Nook. Sadly, Lynda, Kenny
and Sheila are also deceased. Kendra lives in Buffalo, NY and I
live in a small town outside of Albany. Dad was known by all for his dry
sense of humor and his gracious nature, making everyone feel
comfortable. We had a lot of laughs in out house and our parents showed
each other and us a lot of love. Dad had his struggles, but he overcame
them and helped many other people overcome theirs. Dad loved gardening
and bowling, even once beating Dick Weber when he came into town for an
exhibition at Campi-Tarsio Lanes. (Much to the chagrin of Mr.
Weber) He did work at Central Hudson and was at the Roseton Plant.
He was the big boss then, working his way up the ranks. Years before
that he worked at the Roseton brickyard so he came back full circle. He
was a graduate of OCCC and Union College. All who knew him would agree
that he was a special person, still missed greatly.

Brown,
Dr. Janet Died peacefully in her Chestnut Hill home on April 6, 2014 at
age 83. Jan was born in Pennsylvania and grew up in Newburgh, New York.
She was graduated in 1950 from Mt. Holyoke College, and received an M.A.
in Psychology in 1951 and a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology in 1955 from
Yale University. It was at Yale that Jan became grounded in her work with
young children. From 1954-1957 Jan was a researcher at the Yale Child
Studies Center where she was involved with the data analysis of pregnancy
and the first years of life on a longitudinal study of normal children
conducted by the renowned Ernst Kris, MD and Katherine Wolff, PhD. Jan
also had training in developmental diagnosis with physician Sally
Provence. From 1957-1978 Jan was a Psychologist at the James Jackson
Putnam Center in Roxbury, MA. Historical Note: Dr. Marian Cabot Putnam
founded and became a co-director (along with Beata Rank) of the James
Jackson Putnam Childrens Center in 1943, in honor of her father, Dr. James
Jackson Putnam (1846-1918) who was a Boston neurologist. She established
the Putnam Center in order to provide treatment of pre-school and very
young children, as well as to conduct a long-term study of healthy
children, which became the Well Baby Clinic directed by T. Berry Brazelton
MD. The Center was opened under the auspices of the Judge Baker Guidance
Center but in July 1946 became an independent unit, incorporated as the
James Jackson Putnam Childrens Center. The Center came to specialize in
long-term treatment of autistic children. When Dr. Putnam retired in 1962,
over 200 atypical children had been treated. The decline of the Center
began in the 1960s with the progressive loss of federal and private
funding for psychiatric research and treatment. All psychiatric facilities
were affected, especially the university teaching hospitals, but the
Center may have been more impacted than most due to its small size and
specialized focus. The Center, located in Roxbury, Massachusetts, was
closed in 1979. For 21 years at the Putnam Center, Jan provided
differential diagnostic evaluations of young children; treatment of
children with emotional and developmental problems and their parents;
interdisciplinary training and supervision. She was involved with research
on the etiology, treatment and follow up of children with profound
developmental disturbances; interaction of constitutional equipment and
environment in the development of normal children; reaction of normal
children to the loss of a parent; etiology and treatment of antisocial
development, correlation of lead ingestion with psychological functioning
in children; stresses associated with inner city school desegregation;
development of projective tests for inner city children. Jan was Clinical
Instructor of Child Psychiatry (Psychology) and then Assistant Professor
of Psychiatry (Psychology) at Boston University. She lectured in Social
Relations at Harvard in 1969. After the Putnam Center closed in 1979, Jan
conducted a private practice as a Consultant in Child Psychology to the MA
Department of Social Services and other agencies until 1995. From 1980 -
2012 Jan conducted annual psychological assessments of the children
attending the Community Therapeutic Day School, a private, nonprofit
organization in Lexington for children with neurologic and psychiatric
disabilities. During these years Jan provided consistent and in depth
professional psychological evaluations of these exceptionally complex
children. She always brought an essential and special perspective to the
work with these children and their families that concentrated on each
childs abilities and disabilities. Jan would strive to find the very best
and the highest potential in each child. Her professional training at
Yale, her years of experience at the Putnam clinic, her diagnostic skills
with adoptive children and atypical children has given her a very unique
view of the internal cognitive and emotional life of the children. Her
compassion for the children, experience, and her professional skills
helped her to see many of the fundamental issues these children struggle
with in their lives, and the core of their strengths as well as their
disabilities. Jan was Fellow and Life Fellow, American Orthopsychiatric
Association; Fellow, Society for Research in Child Development; and
Fellow, Massachusetts Psychological Association. Jan's life partner of
almost 50 years, Margaret Davidson, died in 2011. They were avid members
of Women Outdoors, a national organization for women outdoor enthusiasts
and stewards of the earth of which Jan was a founder. Together they
traveled world wide and logged thousands of miles on many extended
camping, hiking, and canoe trips all over North America. A small memorial
service will be held in the fall at the Community Therapeutic Day School,
Lexington. Please email

his later years, he looked forward to his many trips to Las Vegas and
Atlantic City. Pete had a wonderful memory and loved telling stories about
his family and himself. He was an outgoing person who loved a good joke
and who didn’t have a problem speaking his mind. He never lost his zest
for life and always had a song in his heart and on his lips. The family
