Daniel A. Garber

On November 12 Daniel A. Garber died in his home northeast of Vermillion, Mo. He was born in Wayne county, Ohio, April 25, 1857, bringing his age to 74 years 6 months and 18 days. During his younger days he united with the Bethel Mennonite church of which he ever afterwards was a faithful member. He was a regular attendant at all of its services whenever his health permitted him to do so. He was an ardent Sunday School and Church worker and for many years was the mission treasurer of the church.

On December 23, 1884, he was united in marriage with Anna Loganbill, who with eight children survives him. The children are Mrs. Joe Lehman, David, Elmer and Daniel of Vermillion, Mrs. Carl Lehman and Milton of Fortuna, Mrs. John Kauffman of La Porte, Ind., and Dr. Ella Banman of Champa, India. Besides his own children he is also survived by 19 grandchildren and two sisters, Mrs. Anna Basinger and Rachel Garber.

In July of this year, Mr. Garber suffered a paralytic stroke which impaired his health and especially his hearing. He was severely ill during the last six weeks of his life at his home, where he was tenderly cured for by the members of his family.

The funeral services were held at Bethel church Sunday afternoon, Nov. 15, in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends. Those who attended the funeral from a distance were Messr. John, Simon, Clarence and Miss Jane Baumgartner of Halstead, Kans., Dr. Wm. Baumgartner of Lawrence, Kansas and Mr. Israel Garber of Pandora, O.

The funeral services were conducted by the pastor of the family, Rev. J. D. Warkentin and assisted by Rev. P. P. Hilty.
