Notes for Edwin James Diefenderfer:
by Rev W. R. Hofford.
After graduating from high school, he attended business school in
Allentown. He met his wife through his cousin, Nathan Diefenderfer,
who was farming in Talbot County, Maryland. After his marriage, he and
his wife settled in St. Michael's, a small town just to the West of
Easton, Maryland. Their first child was born there and they remained
there until about 1906, when they moved back to Allentown. He first
farmed the family property on the outskirts of Allentown, then later
obtained a political job with the department of roads, as a road
commissioner for the State. During this period the family lived in the
main part of Allentown. They had purchased, in November 1930, a
residence at 204 American Street in Fullerton (Deed Book 509, page
88). That property was sold to Paul and Mynn White in November 1936,
for $3,700 (Deed Book 566, page 261).
Edwin had been hospitalized for ten days preceeding his death and had
been in ill health for the previous year. He died in the Allentown
Hospital. Among those attending his funeral were Moses Diefenderfer,
Lewis Diefenderfer, George M. Diefenderfer, Thomas Diefenderfer, Ruth
Diefenderfer, Bessie Diefenderfer and Mr. & Mrs. Carson Diefenderfer.
Also among those attending were his cousins Mr. & Mrs. Samuel Schadt
and Mr. & Mrs. Frederick Schadt.
His estate was valued at $5,037.39, of which $4,500 was the value of
his residence and $537.39 was personal property in the form of a bank
account and bonds. After payment of expenses, the amount subject to
inheritance tax was $2,684.55.
