on affairs that happened many years
ago. as is the case with most people.
but with the events OF more recent
years His mind is active. as may be
imagined from the fact that he is in his
office every day, looking after his own
business affairs. His hearing is as
acute a would be the case in any nor
nal person % half the age. and il is
not uncommon for Mr.. Tuffree to re-
mind those with whom ne is talking
that they need not speak any louder to
him than they would to make them
selves hear. In fact the members o.
the family say Fathers hearing is al
together too good at times

years. from 1886 until 1876 he was en-
gagged in the grocery and bakery bus

Breene county, at village then known
as Jacksonville, situated on the main
pike from Waynesburg, the county
seat. Here MIR. Tuffree opened a gen
eral store. and later built a public
house. or tavern. which he operated for
three years and sold. This was the

The landing of MIR. and Mrs. Tuffree
in Pittsburg, where they prospered,
was more of an accident than anything

The original destination OF the couple,
upon leaving the east, was Missouri.
