General Notes: Husband - Enoch C. Buffington


In boyhood he began to work in the lumber woods, and he early displayed executive ability and self-reliance, being only a young man when he was intrusted with the management of the John Burgoon coal mine near Brookville, Pennsylvania. When he entered the hotel business it was in the employ of his brother George D. Buffington, who for some years was associated with the operation of the "American House" and "Long View Hotel" at Brookville, and he remained with him for eight years. Then, in 1904, he purchased the "Long View Hotel" from Randolph McFarland, and conducted it on his own account, remodeling it to conform to modern ideas of comfort and convenience.
He owned and managed valuable coal lands in Jefferson County. In association with his sister-in-law, Mrs. George D. Buffington, Mr. Buffington had 320 acres of valuable coal land in Ringgold township, being profitably worked. Though primarily a business man, he enjoyed politics and maintained a steady interest in the activities of the Republican party, in whose circles he was very well known. For three years he served as constable of Rose township. His social connections were with the B. P. O. Elks lodge at Reynoldsville, No. 519, with the Knights of Pythias and the Loyal Order of Moose.
