He was united in marriage to Katherne Ella Schwab on March 19, 1893, and for 42 years he and his good wife farmed the Jacob Schwab place, two miles north of Hooper. In October of 1934 he retired from active farm life and with Mrs. Pfeiffer moved to the home which they had purchased in Hooper and where his death occurred. Mr. Pfeiffer was a genial, friendly man, a favorite among neighbors and friends both on the farm and in the town of Hooper where he traded for so many year. By hard work and thrifty planning he succeeded in his chosen occupation and well deserved the few years of rest which he enjoyed after his retirement. He was ever interested and active in affairs of this community, and served on the fair association board for several years, and was a director in the Farmers Union elevator. In the years of continued residence in Dodge county, he made contacts and became known over a wide territory where many will regret to hear of his sudden death. Surviving to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and father, are his wife and five children, two grandchildren, two brothers and one sister.
