Mr. Ruffner was taken to the hospital several days ago and his condition was recognized as being very serious, his advanced age of eighty-two years and his malady being such as to make his recovery a matter of the gravest doubt. In the last two days he has failed very rapidly and yesterday sank into a coma from which he never aroused and in which he passed to the great beyond. P. E. Ruffner came to Plattsmouth in the year 1863, a young man from his native state of Virginia and has since that time been a resident of this city and vicinity and a very active man in the business and political life of the community. When Mr. Ruffner came to this city as a young man he entered the employe of the firm of Staud & Anderson, then located near where the present Burlington freight house stands and in this pioneer outfitting store he spent several years. Later Mr. Ruffner and the late Jacob Vallery, Jr., formed a partnership in the general merchandise business in the early seventies and assisted in this firm for some years, later Mr. Ruffner retiring and starting in business for himself in the hardware and implement business. Mr. Ruffner was married in this city to Miss Agnes Black, daughter of Dr. John Black, pioneer physician and banker, the wife preceding Mr. Ruffner in death several years ago. There is surviving the passing of Mr. Ruffner four sons, Will Ruffner of Tacoma, Washington, Sperry Ruffner of Omaha, E. G. Ruffner of near Mynard and Horace Ruffner of Omaha. One daughter, Mrs. Roy Dodge preceded the parents in death. Bringing with him to Nebraska the traditions and political inspiration of the Jeffersonian democracy he has been a strong and loyal follower of the democratic party and on many occasions was the guiding hand in the political campaigns of Cass county and Nebraska. No task was too severe for this grand old democrat to come and serve as leader or in the ranks for the principles that he had espoused since childhood and many of those who have achieved public office in the county and state in the past years have owed it to the untiring efforts to this loyal democrat.
