I am 12 years old and helping my fathers side of the family track our history. My great grandfathers name was Vernon Peiffer and my grandfather's name is Herford Vernon Peiffer. In turn my father was named after my great grandfather and my brother was as well. If you know you are related to any Vernon Peiffer's or Peiffers in the area of Colorado please tell me

Vernon Peiffer was my grandfather's brother, Homer Peiffer. I met Vern and your grandfather Herford in Cripple Creek when I was only a boy. Vernon Leroy Peiffer was born in Meadville, PA, Jan 7, 1872 and died Aug 10, 1956 in Cripple Creek, CO. He was married to Carrie Lear, b. 1877, d. 1957. Both are buried in Mt. Pischah Cemetary in Cripple Creek along with your grandfather Herford and his wife Mollie. Vern was a distinguished citizen of Cripple Creek. He was a Colorado state senator from Teller County and the Postmaster of Cripple Creek and several other political positions. Unfortunately, he was a Democrat. Quite a bit has been written about Vern in "Colorado and Its People", pp 621-622. I have more if you desire and if you have information on your family it would be of interest.

This is so interesting, that I should stumble across this board 11 years later after it started, but thought I would introduce myself, as another descendant of Vernon Peiffer. His son, Harry Peiffer, was my Grandfather, and his daughter Marie Peiffer, is my mother. I am actually named after Carrie Lear (Vernon's wife) and currently reside in New York City, while the rest of the family is now in western Canada. Oh, and Leroy....fortunately we are all Democrats ;)

Nice to "virtually" meet you both.

PS. Hannah, do you know Ming Peiffer too? Are you two cousins? I believe her dad is my mom's cousin or something. We just recently connected on Facebook. C
