  The Ephrata Review; Friday, May 4, 1906. Samuel Peiffer, a life long resident of Ephrata and vicinity died at his home on the Cloister premises, a short distance west of this borough at 5:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning. Diabetes, with which he had been ailing for a longtime, was the cause of his death; he was confined to his bed with the ailment for the last three weeks of his life. The deceased was born and raised on the farm at present owned and occupied by ____ Gibbel, near Metzler's Mill in Ephrata township. The farm at one time being owned by the grandfather of the deceased. Mr. Peiffer was a son of Jacob and Nancy Peiffer, and he was one of a family of four children, two sons and two daughters, being the last of them to die. He resided on the farm where he was born for many years, and a number of years ago he moved to the Cloister premises where he has since resided. In his early youth he learned the cigar making trade and had conducted a small cigar factory for about sixty years being compelled to give up work about five years ago by reasons of the affirmities of his advancing years. The deceased was aged seventy-nine years and sixteen days. In 1852, Mr. Peiffer was united in marriage to Mary Albright, of Ephrata Township who was born and raised near Churchtown, this county. The union was blessed with three children, of whom two sons, Henry and Martin, both residing at home, survive. Mrs. J. Lemon Gockley, the daughter, died a year ago at her home on West Main Street. The mother died in December 1904. Mr. Peiffer was possibly the last survivor of the pupils who attended school to the Saal of the Cloister prior to the adoption of the free school system in 1837 of about that time the Ephrata Acadamy was built in that year, and has been used for public school purposes. He was of a very affable and sociable disposition and had many warm friends by whom he wad highly esteemed. Mr. Peiffer was a stalwart Republican and took an active interest in politics for a number of years. He served as head Supervisor and held other minor offices of Ephrata township; and had always given his constituents faithful service. The funeral will be held this Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock from the home of the deceased with services in the Saal of the Cloister, and interment in Bowman's Cemetery. Rev. S. G. Zerfoss and S.
