  • Notes 
    • Obit:
      GARBER.-Anna Garber, nee Switzer, was born March 2, 1826, died Nov. 9, 1905; aged 79y., 8m., 7d. She was united in marriage with Joseph Garber, who preceded her to the eternal home nearly three years ago. To this union were born eight children of whom one has already been called to the spirit world. She leaves beside the seven children, forty-three grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren to mourn their loss, but not as those who have no hope. The funeral was held Nov. 11, at the Union church, near Washington. Service were conducted by Peter Sommer in the German language from 1 Cor. 15: and in the English by John Smith and Andrew Schrock from Heb. 9:12,13.

      The Tazewell Independent, Jan. 28, 1879, includes a chronological record of the past year. It reports that on Dec. 30, 1878, Mrs. Joseph Garber broke her elbow. [5]
