Ferber, Jacob F.
1882 - 1933
Jacob Ferber was the sixth child out of 9 children born to George John Ferber and Elizabeth Roesch, both immigrants from Germany.
He was born on October 17, 1883, according to family records, while the family was living on a farm in Shaler Township. They moved to a farm in O'Hara Township sometime in his childhood.
When he was about 17 years old his father had a crippling accident on the farm and Jacob and his younger brother Albert took over the brunt of the hard farm work.
The family moved to a smaller farm and both boys married, built their own houses on the Maurer's Lane corner of the property, held down full time jobs as well as farmed for their father.
While Al had a milk route, picking up jugs of milk from other farmers, Jake had a bottling operation in his small barn. He also raised pigs for the family.
He married Bessie Cubbage and his first child was born in 1906. The last of his 4 children was born in 1915.
Jacob died at age 50 on October 2, 1933 at his home in O'Hara Township. Death was caused by a cerebral hemorrhage. He was interred on the 6th.
