PUFFER, Irma Gladys

Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Emma G. Puffer
• _COLOR: 8
• Residence: Oct 1959, Resno, CA

Notes:

Her birthday is correct in that she, along with 2 other siblings, were born a few years after their father died. Her mother simply listed her dead husband as the father. Her real paternity is unknown.

Yet, the Iowa State Dept of Health has on record her birth certificate which was an affidavit from her half-sister, Julia. Half-sister?? George, her father was married previously, in 1880, but had no recorded children by her. And to add further mystery, the affidavit states that George was 34 years old when Irma as born. Yet, he was actually dead. 34 years would have made him born in 1859, not 1851 like all records show.

With her siblings, she was raised by her aunt and uncle, Julia Nancy Puffer and George Olmstead. Some records show her with the Olmstead surname, but she's a Puffer, sort of.
