Andrew Puderbaugh, who passed away at his home in Liberty township, Warren county, Iowa , April 19, 1901 , was born near Elkhart , Indiana , February 2, 1832 . Removing to Darke county, Ohio , he acquired his education in the common schools of that place and, owing to the early death of his parents, he was reared by an uncle. On coming to Warren county, Iowa, in 1854, he located on the farm on section 26, Liberty township, which is now owned by his son, Alonzo. First entering a quarter section, he later added to his landed holdings until at the time of his demise he owned three hundred and twenty acres, a part of which was timber. He met with a creditable and gratifying measure of success in his business undertakings and in addition to the work of general farming was engaged in shipping stock for about eleven years under the firm style of Sandy & Puderbaugh. He as also one of the early auctioneers of this county and vicinity and cried sales for many years, his specialty being live stock. He was widely recognized as one of the prominent and influential pioneers of this county and his efforts were an important factor in its growth and development.
In 1855 Mr. Puderbaugh was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Wagoner, a native of Darke county, Ohio , who passed away here in 1878, when about forty-eight years of age. She was reared in the faith of the Dunkard church. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Puderbaugh were born eight children, namely: Madison, who died in infancy; Minerva, the wife of J. T. Vincent, of Ackworth , Iowa ; William A., an agriculturist of Oklahoma ; David Lincoln, Charles A., who for the past eleven year has resided in St. Francis , Kansas , Amy, the wife of R. O. Miller of Norwood , Iowa , Sadie, who became the wife of Roland Barlett and resides in Hopeville , Iowa , and Alonzo. The father was again married in 1881, his second union being with Mary A. Vorlis, of Lacona, Iowa, by whom he had one child, Samuel Oliver, who lives with his mother in Medford , Oregon.
In his political views Mr. Puderbaugh was a republican and served as trustee, justice of the peace and in other offices of public trust and responsibility. In the early days he was likewise identified with the Grange, and at one time was a member of the Dunkard church. He is still gratefully remembered as one of the early pioneers whose earnest efforts made possible the present splendid development of the county, and the work which he began more than a half century ago is still being carried on by his sons.
