The Rev. Mr. Pfeiffer was born in the town of Black Wolf, near Oshkosh, Oct. 1, 1887, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Casper Pfeiffer. He lived at Oshkosh before taking his theological training at Mission House College, Plymouth.

During World War I, the Rev. Mr. Pfeiffer was pastor of an Evangelical and Reformed Church at Buffalo, N.Y., where his wife died about 1920.
