Following a sickness extending over a period of nearly one year, Davis Garber, 
one of Hanover's oldest and most respected citizens, died on Wednesday evening 
at his home.  Death was due to infirmities incidental to old age.  He was 91 
years, 8 months and 17 days old.  Mr. Garber was born in Lancaster county.  
Early in life he became interested in horses and was engaged as a horse dealer 
for a period of 60 years previous to his retirement.  Up until the time of 
taking to his bed Mr. Garber retained a live interest of horses.  He also 
operated stage routes between Hanover and Gettysburg and Carlisle for many 
years.  He was married to Miss Anna E. Bair, daughter of the late John Bair, of 
Hanover, in 1856.  She died in 1903.  There were two children, Mrs. Walter 
Davis, with whom he resided, and Mrs. Edwin G. Eckert, deceased.
