Abraham Pfeiffer, York County, PA

Part II, Biographical Sketches, Spring Garden Township, Pg 192

Abraham Pfeiffer (deceased) was a native of Bavaria, Germany, and came to this country in 1853.
After a year’s residence in Baltimore he came to York, lived in Queen Street, and then removed
to the home where his widow now resides on the Baltimore pike.

Mr. Pfeiffer married Elizabeth, daughter of Michael and Sarah (Rost) Ruppecht, of Bavaria.
Three children were born to them: Charles A., John F. and William H.

Mr. Pfeiffer engaged in the brewing business, and built his brewery in 1860, selling to York and surrounding towns. He died about two years ago. His widow is still carrying on the business. John F. learned his trade of carpenter with Jacob Sechrist, of York. Having served his time he still works for Mr. Sechrist. Charles A. learned his trade, machinist, with George F. Baugher, and is still in the employ of Baugher, Kurtz & Stewart, successors to George F. Baugher. The youngest brother, William H., has divided his time between attending school in this township and assisting his mother in the business at home. Mrs. Pfeiffer has good reason to be proud of her sons, as they are steady, industrious young men.
