Notes:
I believe this is the "George Puffer" found in the "New York, Census of Inmates in Almshouses and Poorhouses, 1830-1920" for 1912 and 1913. His record there shows that his father was a minister and both parents were born in NY. This is the only family that fits the time/place. He must have had an accident as it states that he's dependent because he lost a leg.
