Obituary:
"Henry Garber died at the home of his son-in-law Robert H. Forsyth a few minutes after twelce o'clok in West Liberty, Ohio. The community was shocked by death of Henry Garber, one of our best known citizens. Mr. Garber had been down the street during the forenoon, and while he had been suffering heart trouble and a shortness of breath for some time he appeared as jovial as usual and conversed freely with his friends. He went home a little after eleven o'clock and ate his dinner as usual. He had pushed his chair back a little from the table and while still seated in it he expired without a moments warning. His daughter, Mrs. Forsyth, was fixing some medicine for him at the time. Etta Rodgers, who was at the table saw him raise his hands and called to Mrs. Forsyth who stepped to his aid as he gasped but twice passing away without a struggle. Dr. Fulwider was hurriedly summoned but the old gentleman was beyond human aid."
"Henry and Elizabeth (Short) Garber had eight children, one son Joseph Benjamin Garber of West Liberty, Ohio and seven daughters. Four of the children are still living: Mrs. Forsyth, Mrs. Kitchen, and Mrs. Kelly of Muskegon, Michigan. In addition to the children mentioned above he leaves one sister, Mrs. Fanny Van Meter of Bellefontaine, ten grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and a wide circle of friends to mourn his departure. In the spring of 1867 Henry Garber with his family moved back to Logan County, Ohio and locating within one mile of the place of his birth. In 1872 they moved to West Liberty which has been his home except four years spent in Kansas. Internment is in Fair View Cemetery, West Liberty, Ohio."
