W. Lavere Hafer - New Oxford Item - 2 Jul 1931
Warren Lavere Hafer, 44, retired Gettysburg newspaper publisher, died at his home on Wednesday evening from a kidney condition.
Although he had been in failing health a number of years Mr. Hafer seemed in good spirits when he returned from El Paso, TX, May 20, where he and his family resided the major part  of more than five years. His condition took a turn for the worse on Sunday when the kidney condition became aggravated.

Mr. Hafer was born in Abbottstown, a son of the late Willima Warren and Emma (Wilson) Hafer. He attended Gettysburg academy and spent one year at Gettysburg college as a member of the class of 1906. He also attended Haverford college, near Philadelphia, and the Eastman business school, Puoghkeepsie New York.
After completing his education, Mr. Hafer returned to Getysburg and began reading law with the late Charles S. Duncan. While pursuing his study of law, Mr. Hafer became interested in the newspaper publishing business and he acquired an interest in The Gettysburg Times in 1909.
Ill health caused him to sell the newspaper and to seek another climate more conducive to his health. For that reason, he spent most of his time in El Paso, TX,although he often said that while he was away from Gettysburg his heart was always there.
Mr. Hafer was twice married, his first wife, the former Miss Helena Keith, having died a number of years ago. Subsequently, he married Miss Lillie M. Steinour, of Gettysburg, who survives, together with three sons, William Hafer, Gettysburg, and James and Sebastian, at home. One brother L.B. Hafer, William W. Hafer, Vancouver, British Columbia, also survives.
