Notes |
- Originally named William Erasmus. He worked on his father's farm and attended the district schools until he was twenty years old. He attended academies during the next two years and studied for the ministry. In 1852 and 1853 he preached in Methodist pulpits under appointment of the presiding elder; in 1854 he joined the Troy conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. For years he preached and labored in the ministry, chiefly in Vermont, the conference of which he joined in 1861. He had numerous pastorates in the state of Vermont and was Presiding Elder of St. Johnsbury District from 1874 to 1878. He was elected in 1876 a member of the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He has been one of the most honored and influential clergyman of his denomination in Vermont. He retired in 189_ and lived in Richford, VT.
His 2nd marriage shows some differences in his record. The Vermont Vital Records records that his father was Austin Puffer and that his 2nd wife's name was Esther Ann Kingsley.
