Notes - He was on the militia list of Stow, MA.
His fathers farm stood on the line, partly in Stow. He remained on the farm until he came of age and received his education in the public schools. In 1864, he went west and entered the employ of the American Express Co. at Mattoon, IL. Thence he went to Chicago and worked as weigher in a grain elevator for a time. He established a flour and grain business at Springfield, MA, in 1868, and built up a large and successful business, which was afterward incorporated as the H.C. Puffer Co., of which he is the president and treasurer. The company deals in flour, feed and grain and operates a grain mill. Milling in transit is the principal business. Mr. Puffer has been prominent in public life, a leader in the Republican party. He cast his first vote in Stow for Lincoln. He has served in the city council of Springfield and in the board of alderman. He has represented his district in the General Court and is now on the board of water commissioners. He is a deacon of the First Highland Baptist Church, and has been superintendent of the Sunday School and president of the men's class of two hundred.
The 1917 Springfield, MA Street Guide has him living at 145 Dartmouth Terrace.
