Biography

Joseph Garber was born in 1835 in Ohio. He was the eldest son of Martin Garber and Magdaline Mohler. In 1851, following the death of his father, Joseph, his mother, and his siblings moved to Iowa. There, in 1858, Joseph married Catherine Schaeffer, a German immigrant. ^{[1] [2]} In 1900 the family is enumerated on the federal census in Webster County, Nebraska. ^[3]

from Addison Sheldon's Introduction to the Mohler Genealogy

Joseph was a member of the Nebraska Constitutional Convention of 1875.

Joseph and his brother Silas were pioneers in the first settlement of the Republican Valley region. They were representatives of their section and leaders in the western Nebraska movement which shifted the political and social control of Nebraska from the border counties along the Missouri river westward.^[4]
