GARBER FAMILY

Decatur County, Iowa
 
SAMUEL ALBAUGH GARBER FAMILY

The son of Elder John Garber (1801 - 1859) and Sarah (Albaugh) Garber (1801 - 1879), Samuel Albaugh Garber was born on January 1, 1832, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. In 1853, Samuel married Nancy Adaline Peebler. Nancy, the daughter of Michael Fair Peebler, Jr. (1809 - 1877) and Frances "Fannie" (Jacks) Peebler (1816 - 1894), was born September 10, 1834.

Like his father before him, Samuel was ordained as an Elder in the Brethren Church. After the family moved to Decatur County, Iowa in 1855, Samuel was a co-founder of the Franklin Church of The Brethren in Franklin Township, Decatur County, Iowa. He served the church until his death in 1888.

The Sam Garber farm was located 3 miles northeast of Leon.

On June 14, 1888, Sam was returning home in the company of his daughter, Fannie, in their buggy. They were caught in a thunderstorm and before they had made it home, there was a clap of thunder followed by a sharp flash of lightning which struck and instantly killed Elder Garber. Fannie was stunned and still in the buggy, however the team panicked and ran from the scene. Fortunately Harve Rambo came to her assistance, stopped the team and attended to Fannie. Elder Garber was 57 years, 5 months and 13 days old at the time of his death.

Nancy died at the age of 75 years, 8 months and 11 days on May 21, 1910. Samuel and Nancy were interred at Franklin (a.k.a. Dunkard) Cemetery, Decatur County, Iowa.

Samuel and Nancy were the parents of ten children:
