    Notes:

    Her father died when she was very young and she was adopted by an uncle, David Loring, who came to IL when she was very young. She had a brother George and an Uncle Russell Potter, an Englishman, who married Elizabeth Barry. Mrs. Puffer "was to the day of her death a blessing and a benediction to all who came in contact with her. She passed through great trials and hardships in war times with her large family and sick husband and her two eldest sons in the army, by she came out of it all the same sunny, devoted Christian she has always been, never too tired or busy to go to a friend or neighbor night or day if they needed her. They had the true pioneer spirit and our home was a shelter and refuge for all who needed their help. And they believed in 'freely have you received, freely give.' They were rich only in love and kindness and a big farm that was home to all."

    A local newspaper said of her:
    "Perhaps no figure in the community was better known or better loved than this beautiful woman whose whole life was one of utter unselfishness and devotion to the interests of those about her. A devout Christian and an old-fashioned mother, who believed that woman's place was in the home, and yet with a vision so broad that she could find good in all things and interest in all people. Her sympathy and love went to every one who needed her assistance and nothing that she could give or do was ever withheld. Such a personality cannot but leave its imprint upon those who knew her, and her spirit like a fragrance will remain to bless and hallow every corner of the old homestead that saw the growth and beauty of her character develop as the years rolled by."
