Charles S. Puff, mention of whose serious illness has been made in this paper, died Saturay afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Granville Stephens, 57 Sprague avenue, aged seventy-four years and twenty-seven days. The cause of death was the debility of old age. He began to fail, last fall, and both body and mind gave way, and for some time preceding his death he was almost entirely helpless.
Mr. Puff was born in the town of Montgomery. He was a farmer and all his life was spent in Orange county, most of it on the farm in the town of Crawford, a mile and a quarter east of Bullville, which he sold a number of years ago to his son, Egbert S. He removed to this city, two years ago, making his home with his daughter, Mrs. Stephens.
Mr. Puff was married in 1811 to Jane Van Voorhees, of the town of Hamptonburgh, who died in 1883. Eight children were born to them, of whom five survive: Egbert S., of Bullville, ex-Superintendent of the Poor; John W., of Jersey City; Charles V., of this city; Sarah, wife of Granville Stephens, of this city; and Samuel N., of Deckertown. He is also survived by one brother James Puff, of Montgomery; and by two sisters, Sarah, widow of Clark Mackey, of New York, and Lucinda, wife of Stephen Wait, of Brooklyn.
Mr. Puff was a genial, kindly man, honest and upright in all his dealings, and he had a large circle of friends. He was a member of the Brick Church at Montgomery.
The funeral will be from his late residence at 10:30 o'clock, tomorrow morning. Interment in the Brick Church cemetery.
