In an almanac for 1771, was found the following: "A sure and certain cure for the bite of a Rattlesnake made public by Abel Puffer of Stoughton. As soon as may be after the Person is bit, cut a Gash or Split in the Place where the Bite is, as the Teeth went in, and fill it full of fine Salt. Take common Plantain and pund it, add a little Water to it, then squeeze out the juice and mix it with clean Water; then make a strong Brine with fine Salt and the Juice, till it wil not dissolve the salt; then make a Swath or bandage with Linnen cloth, and bind it around just above the swelling (but not too tight); then wet the Bandage with the aforementioned Brine - and keep it constantly wet with Brine for it will dry very fast - and keep stroking the Part with your Hands as hard as the patient can bear, towards the Cut you made, and you will soon see the poison and virulent Matter flow out of the Cut; and it will often flow so fast that it will swell below the Cut, and, if it should, you must cut below the swelling to let out the virulent matter, and it will not leave running till it is discharged. You must keep the bandage moving downward as the Swelling abates. It is proper to give thie Patient something to defend the Stomack, as Sweet Oil, Safron or Snake Root. It often bleeds after the Poson is out; but be not surprised at that- it is Good for it. It will run some time after the poison is out; there must be Care taken the none of the poison that runs out gets to any sore, or raw Flesh, for it will poison the Person. I expect that some will slight this publication, for the Remedies being so simple a Thing; but I hope no one will so slight it, if he is bit, as to neglect trying the Experiment, and the Effect will prove what I have said to be true. I should not have published this had I not been certain of it performing the Cure by my own Experience; for I have cured two Persons dangerously bit, and a Horse and Dog, with no other This but what is mention in the before Direction, and make this Public for the Benefit of Mankind, tho I have been offered a considerable Sum by some Persons to make it known to them, but then it must be kept as a secret. ABEL PUFFER Stoughton, Oct 4th, 1770." At that time the towns paid bounties for killing rattlesnakes. In Stoughton a shilling each was paid. In 1808 the price had risen to a dollar each.

He cleared some land and built a log cabin, the first in the place, occupied Jan 14, 1869. Yankee ingenuity and Providence supplied ways and means to to make it comfortable. They entertained lumberman and land seekers, sharing with all comers, and the little cabin was often filled to overflowing with temporary sojourners. Often the members of the family deprived themselves of beds and bedding to render comfortable strangers who were about to begin the pioneer life. Wild animals were plentiful, but not very troublesome. Mr. Puffer tells of one adventure. While on his way through the woods he discovered three cubs and he shouted and waved his hat to frighten them. They scampered off, crying and yelping, but his fun was turned to dismay by the old mother bear, which heard the cries. Mr. Puffer seized a dead branch, as he took to his heels and sought safety in a tree. For four hours the cubs yelped and he made ineffectual attempts to scare the bear away. In addition to farming, Mr. Puffer engaged in lumbering and met with reasonable success in life. In 1888 a large barn was built, and in 1890 a frame dwelling took the place of the cabin.

25634	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.	PUFFER, George (I21479)
