|
| 28032 | This comrade was one of the choice men of Company G. To know him was to love him. His royal good fellowship, his overflowing good cheer, his pleasant address, won all his comrades. He combined marked business ability with intense activity which won him success. Few got on in life better than he. He was quick to help a comrade whose necessities were greater than his. He sought them out and relieved them. As a soldier whatever duty was assigned him he did well and at Gettysburg he won the admiration of all his comrades by his unflinching courage and zeal. Nobody could question his patriotism. When duty called he did not shrink at sacrifice. He left his wife and children and a business that demanded his presence to succeed and entered the ranks with no ambition beyond serving faithfully his country. He had however, no strong hope that the Union armies would succeed in crushing out the rebellion. He would often remark, "The rebellion will never be put down by fighting." His sister and his brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Wells of Hutchinson Kan., have furnished me the following facts. Charles F. Ovitt, son of Daniel Ovitt and Bazy Fox, was born in Fairfield, Vt. November 12th, 1828. He learned industry and economy and acquired steady habits on his father's farm. But the farm did not content him. With a good business education he entered the mercantile life and began business in Bakersfield before the war, January 1, 1854, he married Matilda E. Foster. The fruit of their happy marriage were three children, Charles L., Eddie D., and Wesley Ray. Eddie died in early childhood. On retiring from the war he resumed work as merchant in Bakers field. His army comrade, H. H. Wells, was for a time associated with him. After a few years he left Bakersfield and settled in West Enosburg. Here he kept a store and ran a grist mill. Here he spent the rest of his life and accumulated a handsome property. He died at his home June 20th, 1887, after a long and painful illness from a complication of diseases contracted while in the army, yet he never asked for a pension and often said there were many others that needed it more than he. His wife and two sons still survive him. His sons are every way worthy such a parentage and training as they enjoyed. They are successful and respected business men in Enosburg and worthy members of the church. Charles is owner and manager of the telephone at Enosburg Falls and lives there; Wesley has inherited the mill and store of his father; both are married. Mrs. Ovitt still resides at West Enosburg with and near her children, enjoying a serene old age, happy in the memory of "ideal husband and father, a perfect moral character and a devoted Christian." Our Comrade's life long friend, W. O. Brigham, says of him, "I am intimately acquainted with him and prized him very highly. I usually tented with him and marched in the same rank. He was fearless in battle, generous and kind to all in need of help, ready to divide the last crust with those in need, but he had no patience with those who sought to shirk duty." His keen sense of justice was illustrated in this incident: "In one of our regimental drills early in our service, we were thrown into confusion and our guns were not in line. The commanding officer became very angry and cursed and swore at us and declared "we hadn't brains enough to make a monkey of." Ovitt was very indignant at such treatment. He determined to beard the lion in his den. He sought out the officer and told him, "The soldiers were not accustomed to such treatment at home" and in strong terms expressed his disapproval. The officer saw his mistake and apologized. "On the third day when Pickett began his charge we were ordered to move forward and lie down behind some rail breastwork which we had previously built and in this protected place load and fire, lying down. Charles was the first to jump to his feet and said, 'Boys, we are here to whip the rebels, so let's go about it.' He stood erect, loading and firing. Inspired by his example the whole company without command sprang to their feet and poured a deadly fire into the enemy's flank." Comrade Wells gives this incident: "After the enemy had surrendered, Colonel Randall called on 20 volunteers from the regiment to go and take in the prisoners. This was dangerous work for after the charge of the enemy failed the rebels opened upon us with their artillery. Ovitt was the first to volunteer. I was second, and 12 of us went and gathered them up. Upon this the Colonel ordered the 2nd Company to guard the prisoners to the rear. Upon that Lieutenant Searles of Company I ordered his company to go. Then I said, 'Your company does not happen to be the 2nd Company to-day.' Then Lieutenant Searles asked the colonel which company, by letter, he meant. He replied, 'Company G are the ones that took the prisoners.' Finally the honors were shared by both companies." In early life Charles joined the Methodist Episcopal church and continued an active and constant member till his death. Thus far his children have followed his example.

| 28033 | This could be Canaan, NY. The 1850 Federal Census record is shown with what appears to be a "Y" over the "H" in NH. If so, could this be Pamela Puffer, wife of Daniel Turner Puffer? If so then why the two different grave stones? | PUFFER, Pamelia (I36531)

|
| 28038 | This family appears in the 1875 Kansas State Census and nowhere else. The State Census records shows the family came to Kansas from Missouri, where two of the children were born. He is put here with the Samuel Puffer family as they are the only Puffers that fit in date/time. It's possible their last name is Peiffer or some derivative and not connected to Samuel. More research is needed. William is a shoemaker in 1875, KS (See The Red Letter Edition, Identity in Doubt or Unknown section to connect him to Samuel) | PUFFER, William (I4700)

Starting at Fort Western (now Augusta) and yo ung William Dorr and his pet dog were with the little army. About thre e miles below the starting point as the various detachments of the army c ame up, the men stopped to refresh themselves at a beautiful spring, wh ich bubbled from the hills by the banks of the Kennebec River. Among t he rest, William was very much fascinated with the spot, and in his ent husiasm declared to his comrades that when the war was over he was goin g back to Boston and get married, and bring his wife up to that spring a nd settle down. He did so and he and his wife Jane lived there while s ix of his nine children were born. The little city of Hallowell now st ands there. In 1788 he founded the town of Hallowell (a suburb of Augus ta, Maine) at a spot on the Kennebec River he had greatly admired on hi s earlier expedition to Canada. In terrible march starvation repeatedly stared them in the face. Their e xtremity became so great that William's dog was killed and eaten by his m ess. William himself kept a small bone from his faithful friend's leg a s a memento, and when his hunger became unbearable he would draw it fro m his pocket and hold it in his mouth, declaring that he drew strength f rom it. An aide to General Montgomery, he fought on the Plains of Abraham and w as subsequently captured and imprisoned on a ship in the St. Lawrence R iver, suffering many hardships.

Early this morning set out for the head of Chaudiere river. This d ay we suffered greatly by our bateaux passing by us, for we had to wade w aist high through swamps and rivers and breaking ice before us. Here w e wandered around all day and came at night to the same place, we left i n the morning, where we found a small dry spot, where we made a fire, a nd we were obliged to stand up all night in order to dry ourselves and k eep from freezing.

This morning started very early and hungry and little satisfi ed with our night's rest. Traveled all day very briskly, and at night e ncamped in a miserable situation. Here we killed a dog and we made a g reat feast without either bread or salt, we have been 4 or 5 days witho ut any provisions, and we went to sleep that night, a little better sat isfied (Probably William Dorr's dog). Our distress was so great, that d ollars were offered for bits of bread, as big as the palm of one's hand . 2nd. This morning when we arose, many of us were so weak, that we coul d hardly stand, and we staggered about like drunken men. However we ma de shift to get our packs on, and marched off hoping to see some inhabi tants this night. A small stick across the road was sufficient to brin g the stoutest to the ground. In the evening we came in sight of the c attle coming up the riverside, which were sent by Col. Arnold, who got i n two days before. It was the joyous sight that ever I beheld, and som e could not refrain from crying for joy. We were told by the men, who c ame with the cattle, that we were twenty, miles from the nearest inhabi tants. Here we killed a creature, and we made a noble feast and some o f the men were so hungry, before the creature was dead, the hide and fl esh were on the fire broiling. 3rd. Marched this day 20 miles, wading several small rivers, some of t hem up to our middle and very cold. In the evening came in sight of a h ouse, the first we had seen for 41 days. 4th.

In these places they took a g reat quantity of provisions, clothing, ammunition and cannon, with 950 p risoners. Remained here till 5th December, when we marched back to Que bec, and laid siege to the town. Continued the siege until the 29th, du ring which time we took several prisoners and cannonaded and bombarded e ach other both day and night.

| 28110 | This marriage date cannot be correct. I believe it to be a "1851" | Family: PUFFER, Daniel Raymond / FARR, Susan L. (F5947)
|
| 28111 | This marriage is confusing. According to the 1880 Federal Census he is married to Margarette Rebecca Brown (wid of Samuel Turner). Her children by her previous marriage are named as being step-children in the census. Earlier census records (1850-1870) show him married to Mary A. R. They have 6 children, the youngest born in 1852. So that would put his marriage to Mary A. R. ca 1850 and his marriage to Magarette Rebecca sometime after 1875. | Family: PUFFER, George / BROWN, Maryann Rebecca (F18968)
|
| 28112 | This marriage to a "Sally" is incorrect. There are no records of his marriage to anyone. Every census and death record shows he is single his whole life.
