Garber Ia 1906-2008
This is the flood that hit Garber,Iowa June 8,2008 Photo by Elkader Register, Elkader,Iowa 52043 At the bottom of the picture is how the Jennings family get to town when the water goes down. So you always want to have a few things on hand. Clyde has known about these things for 84 years come Sept.
When his sister Inez was born March 12,1929 they had to bring DR. Kriebs from Elkport across in a boat to get to the house on the hill.Their father Arthur was born in the same house 1899. I would say the Jennings Family is the oldest family name still living in the Elkport/Garber Area.

Picture from Garber ,Iowa . Dark building is the depot.
I would say this is the old depot, to the right would be across the river to Jennings hill. You can see a house and a Amling lived there across the bridge. Don't know the year but you can tell there was a flood.
