George John Ferber Jr. was the son of George Ferber and Elizabeth Roesch. Born in December of 1873, he was the third child and first son born to the couple. He was baptized in the St. Paul's German Lutheran Church of McCandless Township and was confirmed in the Etna Congregational Church.
It was thought that he never married, but worked as a bartender in a local pub and was living as a boarder in the home of Margaret Sidall in June of 1900, just before his father was critically injured in a farm accident. But a PA marriage record names him as the husband of Lillian M. Brossman, who he married in Allegheny County in 1906. At some point they divorced, according to the death certificate. It is unknown if he moved back home, but he probably helped his younger siblings take care of the farm. He died in O'Hara Township.
He died unexpectedly at the age of 41 on the 19 March 1914 and was buried in the Etna Cemetery. His remains were moved to Greenwood by his youngest brother, Albert, in 1936. (USGenWeb Archives, contributed by Diane Nichols)
