Akron, MI

"Charles junior, the second oldest child now became the breadwinner of the family (father was fighting in the Civil War, older brother Chauncey had left). We are not sure of his age when he first went to work in the woods, but we know that he was experienced in lumbering by the time he was 14 years of age. Lumbering was the only work available for youngsters who wanted to earn cash." Ruth La Bounty Puffer

"When he grew up Charles, Jr. loved to tell a story about himself and a bear. His only pair of pants needed mending and while his mother mended them he went outside in the woods. Then he saw a bear come out of the woods and go after their only pig. Knowing that the pig was their only source of meat, he ran after the bear and scared him away. The bear must have thought that he was a little bear too. Anyway the pig was saved." Ruth La Bounty Puffer

Notes:

"He was a forestry worker in MI, following the lumber industry, moving to new areas as the timber gave out in worked-over forests. They lived back and forth across the border between Ontario, Pennsylvania, and New York State. All 4 children were born in Ontario, but most of their growing up was in Cross Fork, PA, a community no longer in existence. Maude mentioned going to school in Comber, Ontario, so they must have lived there before Cross Fork. The timber gave out, the town caught fire and so the family returned (1910-1911?) to Windsor, where William found employment building the new Ford plant. When that was completed, he worked in the factory till April 12, 1929, he came home from work, sat down and immediately died from a heart attack." Ruth La Bounty Puffer.

Birth:
"Was probably born in the Windsor, MI area and had at least three siblings: Luella (Aunt Lou), Lillian (Aunt Lil) who died in 1924, and Jane (Aunt Jennie) who married Harold Horning. They had no children. Aunt Lou, unmarried, always made her home with the Hornings, living mostly in the Chicago area."

"Food and all provisions for the family had to be carried from Watrousville, MI, a journey of 18 miles. While Charles was at war, Margaret had to walk to Watrousville and back carrying on her back what she had purchased. Much of the trail was through swamps. In places she had to walk on logs to get through. Those who remembered her as Grandma Margaret Puffer remember that she walked with a stiff knee. This was the result of a trip one November when she had to spend the night in the woods." : Chauncey, eight, and Charles, six years old, were in charge of the younger brothers and sisters while their Mother was gone. When it came hingh time they would light a candle and put it on a bench in the center of the room and all hover around whiles Charles would tell them stories or they would sing songs to lessen their fears of the wild animals around the cabin. One night they got so scared theyw ent upstairs and called ou the window, "Fire, Murder, Help." Margaret was coming down the trail as fast as she could, and hastened even faster when she heard the children yelling, because she thought the Indians were molesting them." Ruth La Bounty Puffer
