General Notes: Husband - Alfred Zeigler Peffer

---

He was in infancy when his parents removed from Lancaster Township to Jackson Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. He grew to maturity on the home farm, attended the district schools of his township, and later attended Harmony Collegiate Institute, under Prof. John C. Tinsman. He received a teacher's certificate, but never entered that profession. With the exception of one year which he spent in Kansas he lived at his parents' home until his marriage, then purchased the McDonald farm in Jackson Township. This farm consisted of eighty acres, which subsequently proved to be valuable oil territory. Later Mr. Peffer sold the farm to George Dambaugh and purchased a farm of one hundred acres from Hon. D. B. Douthett in Forward Township. The dwelling house was standing at the time he purchased, but he thereafter erected a commodious barn, and made other improvements on the premises. He followed general farming along modern ideas, and met with good results.
The family were members of the Presbyterian Church of Middlesex Township, and Mr. Peffer served as a member of the board of trustees. He was a Republican in politics, and served his township as treasurer, and as a member of the board of school directors. He was secretary of the board in 1908.
