    Notes:

    A plumber
    He was raised on a farm and attended the district schools, completing his education in the old Framingham academy, which he attended for two years. In his youth he spent much of his spare time in reading and study and early in life demonstrated natural ability as a mechanic and marked inventive genius. He followed the trade of blacksmith for a time and in 1842 started in the plumbing business on Water Street, Boston. Soon after he began to manufacture soda fountains. This business grew rapidly and he secured many valuable patents used in soda fountains, giving him a substantial lead over his competitors. After a few years he moved to new quarters on Portland Street, Boston. Year by year the demand for the fountains and devices manufactured by Mr. Puffer grew amazingly and his business became very large and profitable. A factory was built at Winchester but the offices remained at 44-8 Portland Street. He was granted more than a hundred patents. His three sons were associated with him in business in later years under the firm of A.D. Puffer & Sons Manufacturing Company. This firm continued until 1891, when it was consolidated with three other concerns in the same line of business under the name of the American Soda Fountain Company, of which Mr. Puffer became vice-president.
    During the last 15 years of his life, Mr. Puffer devoted his attention mainly to his real estate and other investments. He was fond of travel and mad many trips abroad. He was well read, broad of mind, kindly, gentle and modest, equipped with a wide knowledge of men and affairs gathered from books and experience, a veritable (en)cyclopedia of information. During his business career he employed many thousands, all of whom held him in the highest esteem and affection. He had a fine physique, good health and great energy of mind and body. In politics he was a Republican, but he took no very active part in public affairs and declined public honors.
    After living in Boston for a few years he made his home in Somerville for a period of fourteen years, removing thence to Medford. The section near his home is know as Puffer corner. During his last years his legal residence was at Derry, NH.
    He died at Medford, after an illness of a few hours. The interment was in Oak Grove Cemetery, Medford. The funeral was at his late residence, 203 High Street. His will, dated March 15, 1897, was proved at Exeter, N H. His legal residence was in West Derry, NH where he had a summer home. In his will he bequeathed to his children, to his half-brother Jonas L. Whitney, the daughters of his half-sister Abigail Hewitt and his half-sister Hannah C. Felton.

    The 1870 Malden, MA city directory lists him as living on High Street, Medford, MA on the corner of Purchase.

    Name:
    This name appears clearly in only one record, the birth record of his daughter Carrie L. Puffer. It shows clearly that it's spelled "Erving D.". However no other records of this name appear. And since his daughter Carrie L. has the exact same date of birth as the daughter of Alvin Davis Puffer, I merged these two individuals and their respective wives.

    Notes:

    He died at home. He received his education in the public schools of Somerville. His parents moved to Medford when he was sixteen. At the age of eighteen he entered the employ of his father and he continued in the manufacture of soda fountains to the time of his death. He became partner of his father and two brothers in the firm of A.D. Puffer & Sons Manufacturing Company, and when the old firm was amalgamated in the American Soda Fountain Company, he became director and manager of that corporation. At the expiration of the time for which the amalgamation was made, the Puffer interests withdrew and established the Puffer Manufacturing Company, of which Daniel J. Puffer was the president to the end of his life. The new company was successful from the beginning. The offices are now at 51 Portland Street, Boston. In 1906 a tract of 16 acres w as acquired at Winchester and the present manufacturing plant was built there. The buildings have an aggregate floor space of four acres. It is the largest plant for the manufacture of soda water apparatus in the world. Luther W. Puffer was treasurer of the new corporation and his son Luther W. Puffer, Jr., secretary.

    From an obituary in the June 1911, number of "Soda Fountain" we quote: " He had spent his whole life in the soda fountain business, entering upon a business career as a boy of 18, and continuing actively in it for more than a third of century, almost up to the day of his death. He has seen the soda water fountain business develop from small proportions to its present greatness, and he had had no inconsiderable part in its development. he was a man of original and practical ideas and of marked executive ability. Mr. Puffer's death occurred most unexpectedly. But a few days before he had returned from a fishing trip in Maine, and he looked and felt in excellent health. He was stricken with heart failure on the afternoon of Saturday, May 20, at his home. He had spent the forenoon at his office in Boston, apparently as well as usual."

    He was prominent in the Masonic bodies of Medford, one of the founders of the Medford Club, the leading social organization of the city.
    The funeral was held at his late home on Turell Ave., Medford, and was largely attended. Rev. George M. Butler of Mystic Congregational Church officiated. A large delegation of Masons and employees of the Puffer Manufacturing Company attended. The interment was in Oak Grove cemetery.

    Upon his death, the home in which he lived, was bequeathed to the Medford Home for Aged Men and Women. Source: The Boston Globe (Boston, Massachusetts)28 Oct 1932, Page 25
