• Ordained: 26 Sep 1781, Berlin, MA

Notes:

Graduated from Harvard College in 1778. In 1810 he received from Harvard the honorary degree of D.D. He was ordained in Berlin, November 26, 1781, the first minister, and continued pastor of the Congregational church there to the end of this life. He was a very useful and able minister. He delivered the Dudleian lecture at Harvard College, May 11, 1808, and preached a sermon at the annual convention of Congregational ministers at Boston May 30, 1811. Both of these sermons were published in pamphlets.

Rev. Dr. Puffer spoke at the inauguration of John Adams  to Massachusetts State Senate.


The late Rev. Dr. Allen of Northboro in an article in the Boston Advertiser gives the following incident among his Cambridge reminiscences of 1810.

"Quite a sensation was occasioned in June of this year by the delivery of the Dudleian lecture by a country minister, with whom many years afterwards I had pleasant intercourse as a neighbor and friend, Rev. Reuben Puffer, afterwards D.D., of Berlin. He had previously delivered the election sermon in Boston which first introduced him to notice, and probably led to his appointment as lecturer. We were given to understand that he was a poor country minister, with small salary and a large family, and our expectations on entering the Chapel and seeing an ordinary-looking man in the pulpit were not raised to a high pitch. But we were disappointed and we listened to the discourse with intense interest from first to last.

His text was "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, come and see." And so we found that a very sensible, rational, eloquent discourse could come from the minister of the obscure little town of Berlin. The result was that a meeting of the Students was called, a Committee chosen to request a copy for the press, and the profits of the pamphlet, amounting to about one hundred dollars, was given to the poor country minister."

Rev. Dr. Puffer left a large estate for his day. He made special bequests of Scott's Family Bible, Brown's Dictionary of the Bible, Burder's Village Sermons; Cowper's Poems; Newton's Letters; Memoirs of Mrs. Ramsay and some of his manuscripts. He had a large library. He gave his watch to his son Oliver and his clock to his son Henry; a gold necklace of his deceased daughter Sarah to his granddaughter Sarah Puffer Fay. Edward Baker was executor. His will was dated Sept. 3, 1828.

The widow Phebe Puffer remembered each of her husband's children in her will, which was dated March, 1851, and allowed February 5, 1856. She gave to Phebe Goodnow, granddaughter of her husband, her gold necklace. She gave Scott's Family Bible to Oliver Puffer; Barley's English Dictionary to Thomas Stone's wife; $30 each to her own sons, Truman, Freeman and William Stowe. Among other legacies to her granddaughters, Eugenia Stowe Gilbert and Phebe Morse Stowe, daughter of Truman Stowe, was "a large chest with one drawer" that "came from her ancestors," also wearing apparel, household goods, desk, papers, etc.

He married, first, Feb 9, 1779 or 1780 at Stow, Hannah Perry, who was born Sept 21, 1760, died Jan. 5, 1812.

He married, second, in 1814, Phebe (Morse) Stowe of Marlborough, daughter of William and Phebe Morse. By her first husband Truman Stowe, she had children William, Truman, Freeman and Eugenia Stowe. Eugenia Stowe married September 28, 1828, Rev. Lyman Gilbert of West Newton. Phebe died Jan. 12, 156, aged 84 y. 28 d.
