  1. 12.  PUFFER, GeorgePUFFER, George was born on 19 Jul 1859 in Readsboro, VT (son of PUFFER, William and CANEDY, Maria); died on 16 Jul 1930 in Janesville, WI.

    • Residence: 1865, Adams, MA
    • Residence: 1930, Janesville, WI

    Notes:

    He removed to Janesville, WI and about 1895 to Milwaukee, WI.

    His last name (sometimes Buffer) and dates are often mis-recorded, misreported, or misremembered by many people reporting them.
    The 1860, and 1870 Federal Censuses are informationally correct. The 1880 and 1900 Federal Census incorrectly records his birthplace to Massachusetts.
    The 1905 Wisconsin State Census he is listed as living in Milwaukee, WI with wife and 8 children. This is incorrect as, at that time, he was in the Wisconsin State Penitentiary.

    As a number of newspaper reports show he was accused and convicted of attempted murder of a police officer and sentenced to 8 years. One of his daughters had sworn out a warrant because he was "..in the habit of creating family disturbances.", having been one of numerous "..complaints that have been lodged against Puffer by members of his family." The police reports show he was a heavy drinker and "had trouble with his wife and family on many occasions."

    The 1906 and 1907 Milwaukee, WI, City Directory list Nellie as the widow of George, even though he was alive. They had obviously separated or divorced by then.

    He must have served his sentence almost to the end as the 1930 Federal Census shows him in the Rock County Asylum in Janesville, WI. It records the wrong birth place (MA) ca 1860 and states he was married.

    A brief mention in a 1930s newspaper indicates that "he was of Janesville", 75 years old, and left a widow and 5 children. A longer obituary in the Janesville Daily Gazette describes him as 75, a machinist, resident of Janesville for 40 years, born in MA in 1855. Survived by his widow and 5 children, all of Milwaukee." Burial in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. No other George Puffer of this age is in the Janesville area at this time, concluding that this George is the son of William and Maria Canady Puffer and the husband of Nellie.
