Farber was a tailor at Sakowitz for many years until his retirement in his eighties. He continued to do tailoring from his home for another ten years.
In his eulogy prayer praising Farber, Rabbi Jack Segal said:
"He was from a generation that is almost totally extinct. He was born toward the end of the 19th century, some 93 years ago in Russia. But at the young age of 18 - in 1907 - he knew that he had to leave Russia to go to the goldene medinah [golden land] - to the United States of America.
"At that time he was a yeshivah bachur [student in a Jewish academy]. He was studying for the rabbinate. But this was the age that he could be drafted into the czar's army. And who knew how many years he would be obliged to serve if he was drafted into that army!"
The rabbi went on to note that for Abraham Farber, "religion seemed to come before everything and anything". Farber always volunteered donations for anyone who needed assistance, Rabbi Segal said.
Abraham Farber was preceded in death in 1948 by his wife of 30 years, Irma. His second wife, Lillian, of nearly 30 years, died about three years ago.
Survivors are his children, Leonard and Jean Farber; his grandchildren, Yvonne and Herbert Schwartz, Arnold and Manette Farber, Carolyn and Harvey Katz and Marvin and Marie Farber, and 10 great-grandchildren.

Harry Kamion, a member of United Orthodox Synagogues, died on Saturday, May 28, 1983, at the age of 67.
According to the Houston Post, the odds caught up with Kamion, a Houston businessman, when an armed robber shot him to death. During World War II, he had cheated death more than once when he fought Nazis as a leader in the Polish underground.
The Post quoted Kamion's shaken widow, Evelyn, as saying: "The war couldn't do it, the Nazis couldn't do it. But here is Houston - far, far away from that terrible past - a simple hoodlum took his life." The widow, like her husband, grew up amid bloodshed in Warsaw.
Kamion came to Houston about 22 years ago from New York to build a business, White House Plumbing Company. But he continued to be plagued by the violence he hoped to leave behind.
His son, Alan, told the Post that he was robbed many times at his business in the 2700 block of Jensen. Three times, Kamion had wrestled pistols from gunmen demanding money and sent them running out of the store.
During World Was II, Kamion had joined the fight against the Nazis after soldiers burst into his home near Warsaw and shot his mother. Escaping from a death train, he became a leader in the Polish underground - although he never revealed his Jewish upbringing, the Post said.
Kamion was tortured after Polish underground members were captured by German Gestapo officers But, according to Kamion's son Kamion again escaped - this time from the Gestapo's clutches - as he was taken to a concentration camp to be killed.
Having repeatedly escaped death during World War II, Kamion was gunned down in Houston on May 28, in his store. He was unarmed.
Survivors are his wife, Mrs. Evelyn Kamion; children, Lenore and Phillip Caplan, Alan and Peggy Kamion, Mona Kamion, and grandsons, Michael Nathan Kamion, Gary Michael Caplan and Jared Brandon Caplan.
Graveside services were held at 11 a.m., Monday, May 30, 1983, at Adath Israel Cemetery. Rabbi Joseph Radinsky and Cantor Irving Dean officiated.
