Why stay when it can all be over in a minute?
I am 64 years of age. I cannot stay much longer at the best. Darling, it will be hard for you to do without me, but it is hard for you to see me suffer.
You have a letter saying just what I wish done. have Strait and Desmond as undertakers.
I do not owe any bills, except Catterson 62 cents. My dues are all paid.
I love everybody and would like to stay, but I feel so bad. I am discouraged and I might as well face it now as at any time. Lovingly,
J. B. Puffer"

" In the event of my death I wish my remains cremated and no ashes saved. I do not wish a preacher to say anything over me. No singing. No flowers.

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.
