JOHN H. GARBER comeso f [sic] old Pennsylvania Dutch stock, a people proverbial
for thrift, domestic neatness and that judicious conservatism which invariably
leads to a comfortable competency if not to wealth. Mr. Garber was born in
Trappe, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, January 13, 1845. He worked on a farm,
when not attending the public school, till he had reached his twenty-fourth
year. He then entered Muhlenberg College, Allentown, Pennsylvania, of which
institution he is a graduate of class '71. After that he taught school one year.
Then he took a post-graduate course at Lehigh University, in his native State.

  In May, 1875, Mr. Garber came to this coast and took up his permanent abode at
Salinas. For some time after his arrival he took hold of various employments,
both at manuel [sic] labor and in assisting the county officers in clerical
work, serving four years as Deputy County Clerk. He revisited the scenes of his
old home in the East for a few months, and on returning to Salinas, in 1881, he
was again employed in the county offices. In May, 1882, Mr. Garber was appointed
County Surveyor to fill the unexpired term of F. S. Ingalls, and has been
elected to fill that office as the Democratic nominee ever since.
