A biosketch of Joshua Garverick [13] reports:
Joshua Garverick, farmer; P. O. Whetstone; is the eldest of the children born to John and Rachel (Ruhl) Garverick; the former was born in York County, Pennsylvania., March 24, 1805, and was married Dec. 20, 1832. Mrs. Garverick was born April 11, 1812. They emigrated to the West in 1833, and lived in Johnsville one year, when they located in the north part of Congress Tp., where he had previously entered 160 acres of land, which he cleared, it being covered with timber; he then had only one horse to work with, but exchanged with a neighbor, who had an ox team, and thus they managed to get along. Their cows died, and they Lad many difficulties to encounter, such as are only experienced by pioneers. Although having but little to begin with, yet he succeeded in obtaining 400 acres of land; he died Jan. 27, 1872, having raised a family of six children, who are among the substantial citizens of this county. Joshua was 22 years of age when he began upon his own responsibility; Jan. 20, 1856, he was married to Margaret Bordner, who was born in Perry Tp., and a daughter of Henry and Margaret (Haws) Bordner, of York County, Pennsylvania. After Mr. Garverick was married he lived several years in Bloomfield Tp., renting land; in 1866 he purchased eighty acres of the homestead farm, to which he has since added by purchase, until he now has 120 acres. They have eight children-Ellen, Mary A., Jason, Milton, Melrow, Bertha, Homer and Loyd. Mr. Garverick is a member of the Reformed Church, and was born Nov. 4, 1833.
