Mrs. Pfeiffer leaves a husband and four children, one a babe of six weeks, to mourn the loss of wife and mother.
She was a member of the Methodist church, a patient, earnest, loving Christian, a true wife and mother. A good woman has gone to her reward.
On the occasion of her funeral the church was filled with friends who came to show their respect for the dead and express their sympathy for the sorrowing family.
