Death was attributed to an acute attack of bronchial asthma from which he suffered 15 minutes before he passed away. He was 44 years of age.

The deceased was born and reared in this community and followed the barber profession all his life. For many years he was manager of his shop and later operated an partnership business with F. L. Neth and also with George Barnhardt. For the past year and a half he was employed in the Smith Shop. Mr. Peiffer had many friends in both business and social circles who are grieved over his unexpected death.
