This city lost another of its old residents Sunday, when Harriet Peifer passed 
to her last rest at the home 323 Lewis Street. She was the wife of Chas. 
Peifer, who died several years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Peifer came to this part of

charge of the Franklin House on West Main Street. In 1886 this hotel was burned 
and quarters were then taken up in a house near the Bricker Hotel. A short time 
after moving to this building it also was destroyed by fire and she then moved 
to the house on Lewis Street, where she has lived until death. Mrs. Peifer was 
past seventy years of age. She is survived by an only son, Claude L., of Grand 
Rapids, who is conductor on the G.R. & I Railroad running north to the resort
