A biosketch of John R Garverick [3] reports:
John R. Garverick, merchant; Whetstone; has been identified with this county since its erection, being the third of a family of nine children, and was born here Feb. 26, 1838. His parents, John F. and Rachel (Ruhl) Garverick were born and raised in York County, Pennsylvania. John R. began for himself, when 23 years of age, and farmed for three years, with good success; he then relinquished this and went into mercantile business at West Point, where he has since remained, doing business under the firm name of J. R. Garverick & Co. His first partner was his father, who died in 1872; the vacancy was filled by his youngest brother, and the business has been continued under the same name. Their trade has always been of a satisfactor nature, and so continues; they keep a general stock of dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, queensware, notions, etc.; in connection with their store, they have the Post Office, Mr. Garverick having officiated as Post Master since 1874. The success of the firm is due to their business tact. Mr. Garverick was married -Jan. 13, 1861, to Catharine, daughter of Jacob and Catharine Snyder, who was born June 7, 1838, in what is now Morrow Co. By this union eleven children have been born, seven of whom are living-Marv E., Alla, Webster, Chester, Emma M., Ira W. and John W. Himself and wife are members of the German Reformed Church.
