JACOB B. GARVERICK, school teacher; Whetstone; is the eldest son of Peter H. Garverick, and was born March 21, 1851, in Morrow Co., Ohio; he commenced teaching school when 18 years old, and has taught every winter and one summer since. Not content with the education he received in the common district schools, he attended several terms where he could secure all the advantages offered by higher institutions. His professional duties have been limited to the school at West Point, with two exceptions, and, although other districts desire him, he still clings to the village school. He was married Oct. 2, 1873, to Rebecca M., daughter of John F. and Rachel Garverick. This union has been blessed with four children, three of whom are living. Charles W., Silva E. and Newton Z. Both are Christians, and have many friends. He owns an interest in a farm, on which he works during the summer, and his prospects of success in life are quite flattering.
