He returned to Readsboro. For two years he kept a hotel at Whitingham, VT. It is said that he had gravestones made and inscribed for his father and mother, but never had them set, and they were finally lost. Perhaps a search of some of the old Puffer homesteads at Readsboro might discover them. He was highway surveyor in 1847; was living in school district 7 in 1851. The names of his children are given in the town census of 1851-53 and in the latter year the head of the family was described as "Mis" Puffer, indicating the father's death. Various deeds, mortgages and leases are recorded in which he was grantor or grantee.
