General Notes: Husband - George Peiffer Shaffer

---

He was born on his father's farm in Woodcock township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. His education was the usual one of a farmer's son of that period, and at an early age he commenced to assist his father in the cultivation of the home farm. Later in life he engaged in lumbering, was the proprietor of a saw mill in Woodcock township, and, having learned the carpenter's trade, followed that occupation to a considerable extent. He became the owner of a farm of one hundred and five acres, on which he lived, and which he kept in a fine state of cultivation. He took a prominent place in the public life of the community, and was a staunch supporter of the principles of the Democratic party. In addition to serving as supervisor of the township, he filled at various times a number of minor offices. He also served as a member of the local police force. His fraternal affiliations were with the local Grange, and he was a member of the Methodist church.
