Then he sold out his interests in the firm and accepted the position of president of a lamp company on Devonshire St. in Boston. Two years afterward he returned to Lowell, and engaged as a wholesale dealer in flour, finally purchasing the store of Mr. Whithed at 109 Branch St., the present location of the firm of A.D. Puffer & Son. His son Fredrick A. was his partner.
    Mr. Puffer was a Republican and served a year in the common council and one term as Representative in the General Court in 1869. In Oct, 1848, he joined the fire department.
