Elder and Mrs. Leffler spent their entire life in Adventist ministry. Elder Leffler began his ministerial work in the Illinois Conference and served as pastor in Illinois, Iowa, Texas, and South Dakota. He was serving in Memphis, Tennessee, at the time of his death in 1940. After Elder Leffler's untimely death, Pearl Leffler moved to Keene, Texas, to live where her school-age sons, George Jr. and Jiggs, could receive a Christian education. In time, all five of the Lefflers' children were educated at Southwestern Junior College. This scholarship was established by Mr. and Mrs. Charles (Jiggs) Leffler in honor of their parents and their dedication to the Lord's work.
