PHILIP GARBER Note: Please find following this message, the obituaries for my mother-in-law's grandfather. Philip Garvey. My mother-in-law was a Garber and no one knows of the explanation why the name got changed from Garvey to Garber. The Manitowoc Co. records show the name both ways for his four children. As we understand it, He married an Irish Woman (Ms. Haloran), but my mother-in-law thought that he himself was German (however there is an Irish immigrant, namely Patrick Garvey, buried in the Calvary Cemetery). “A FATAL ACCIDENT. Philip Garvey, aged forty-six years, died at the Holy Family hospital on Wednesday morning, Feb. 6, after having been unconscious for about for hours, as a result of a fall down a coal chute. The accident occurred Monday afternoon, Feb. 4, when Mr. Garvey, who was employed as a teamster, was about to unload a load of coal at the hospital. The unfortunate man had his skull fractured in the fall. He never regained consciousness. Garvey leaves a wife and two small children—a son and a daughter—to mourn his loss. The decedent was a brother-in-law of James Holleran, He was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters, Cato lodge. The funeral was held last Saturday morning from the St. Boniface church in this city. Interment took place at Calvary cemetery. Mr. Garvey’s untimely end is deplored by all who knew him, and the bereaved family have the sympathy of the community in their sore affliction. The family home is near the plant of the Clay company, Mr. Garvey having been an employe of that concern.” The Manitowoc Pilot, Volume XLVIII, Manitowoc, Wis., Thursday, February 14, 1907, Number 32 ********* INJURY HAD FATAL RESULT Philip Garvey Dies From Fall at Hospital Monday Without having regained consciousness, Philip Garvey, the Clay Product Co. employe injured at the Holy Family hospital Monday, died early today, death being due to hemorrhages which he suffered as a result of the injury to the skull.

It is said that in the fall Garvey burst a blood vessel in the brain and the hemorrhage was a severe one that caused death. The dead man was 46 and is survived by a widow and two children who reside at the plant of the Manitowoc Clay Product Co.
