General Notes: Husband - William James Pifer

---

He attended grade and high schools in Sandy Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and early started a career in the lumber industry. Forming an association with the firm started by his grandfather, he and his brother took over complete control of the business in 1936, when they acquired their father's share by gift and their uncle's share by purchase. They operated the firm of G. W. Pifer Sons, and became widely known for their work as dealers in lumber and builders' supplies in Du Bois and its environs.
