The second settler [of Sandy Township], Philip Farber, pitched his tent in the extreme northeastern corner of the township and county, on Lot 8. He hailed from New York, and came about 1806, remaining a lifelong resident of the township. He was a Presbyterian, and later in life a Lutheran. His son, John Farber, who settled soon after on the adjoining Lot 7, farmed and operated a distillery there, but, becoming an advocate of temperance, is said to have been the first settler in the neighborhood who cut his wheat without the aid of whisky.
[Note: Elizabeth is very likely, either daughter or granddaughter of Philip Farber.]
