LILLIE
GARBER
MOST BELOVED
SISTER, AUNT
AND FRIEND
SEPT. 14, 1909 - JUNE 6, 1995
May her soul be bound in the bonds of eternal life
Lillie Garber was the second child of Nathan and Yetta Garber. The tombstone indicates she was born 14 September 1909 in Labun, Volhynia Gubernia, Russian Empire. However, her father's naturalization record indicated 12 August 1907.[1]
Her father Nathan landed in the United States on 18 June 1910. [2] Lillie, her mother Yetta, and her sister Ruth followed on the Birma on 2 September 1912. [3] Nathan's younger brother Jankel (my grandfather Jack Garber) accompanied them on the voyage.
Lillie never married and had no children. In the 1933 Brooklyn, New York City Directory she is listed as a stenographer. [4]
Lillie is buried in the First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Association plot in Montefiore Cemetery, Queens, New York, Block 5, Gate 567W, Line 2R, Grave 3.

Notes:
1. Nathan
Garber Petition for Naturalization number 85372 (1 July 1919), volume
345, page 72, New York County Supreme Court, National Archives and
Records Administration, Washington, D.C.
The year 1907 is likely incorrect, as her older sister Ruth's birth year is also listed as 1907 on the naturalization petition. On the manifest for her arrival in Ellis Island on 2 September 1912, Lillie is listed as age 4 and her sister, age 6. [2]
