Charles Frantz Stauffer ’35

Charlie Stauffer died Mar. 8, 1998, in Lancaster, Pa., after a brief illness. He was 85.

Charlie came to Princeton from Lawrenceville but left in junior year to attend to family affairs when his father died. Charlie lived most of his life at Lime Spring Farm, in Rohrerstown, Pa., where nine generations of his family had resided. Charlie, his wife, and a sister formed a charitable trust to preserve the 250-year-old homes there.

After recovering at Warm Springs, Ga., from a bout of polio in 1940, Charlie worked in the family's business, Lancaster Storage Co., a division of Mayflower Moving Co. In addition, he participated in many worthy community activities, such as Red Cross, Rotary, Easter Seal Society, Union League of Philadelphia, and Lancaster County Historical Society. He was an active and busy community leader.

Charlie married Dorothy Jean Diller in 1946; she died in 1997, after 51 years of life together. A daughter, Judith Ann (Mrs. Roger Sandt), born in 1953, and a son, Andrew Diller, born in 1957, reside in the Lancaster area. The class sends its most sincere condolences.
