Notes:

He learned the trade of carriage-making at Belchertown and later became a pattern maker and mechanic.
He invented and patented, in 1854, the first machine for making envelopes to be built and operated in this country. It was operated by his wife at Rockville, CT and would turn out about 12,000 envelopes in a day. He sold his patent to Cyrus White and Lewis A. Corbin, who afterward admitted to partnership with William H. Prescott, and, under the firm name of White Corbin & Co., they became one of the largest concerns making envelops in this country. The firm became a part of the United States Envelope Co., when consolidation took place, and the factory still continues to do a large business.
For 25 years Mr. Puffer was superintendent of this factory. In 1873 he retired from active business and went to Stafford Springs, CT to live. In 1892 he and his wife removed to Willamantic, CT where they spent their last years in the home of their daughter.
