I am seeking additional information about Maude Sarah Birch, born January 1883 in New York state according to the 1900 census. She is enumerated twice in that 1900 census, once as a lodger in Perry, Wyoming County, NY, working in the woolen mill there as a trimmer and also as a boarder of Dr. and Mrs. William (Fanny) Boddy in North Java, Wyoming County, NY. She married Charles Pfeifer and later they moved to Batavia, Genesee County, NY and raised their family. Both Charles and Maude are buried at Wethersfield Springs, Wyoming County, New York. Maude's children were: Pearl E., Florence M., Esther J., Ruth M. and Carleton. Maude Birch Pfeifer died in September 1958. I am not related to Maude, but apparently she was kind of "adopted" by my Boddy family. Please email me at
