DEATH OF WILLIAM SYLVESTER JARVIS: Per a verbal account obtained by EdDoughty from Marie Edgar of Potosi in March of 1981: "The horses gotstartled when some boys rattled some tin cans together. The wooden brakeon the wagon plunged into his body. He died. Edie stayed in the wagonand wasn't injured."
Note: In the New Masonic Cemetery, Washington County, MO, there is agrave marker that reads: "JARVIS,ADA MONTA (BLOUNT) 03 JUL 1874 - 09OCT 1926 MOTHER. W/O WILLIAM SYLVESTER JARVIS 12 JUL 1893" This mustsurely be another William Sylvester Jarvis (the family was fond of namingchildren after those of previous generations), because this W. S. Jarvishad been killed in an accident prior to the marriage date listed here.

Eliza Virginia Jarvis [Parents] was born on 1 May 1872 in Washington County, Missouri. She died in 1890/1966. She married James Edward Martin in 1886/1919.
After Eliza and James were married, they moved to Oklahoma. Eliza musthave inherited the wandering fever gene from several generations past.It is interesting to note that during the "great Hyde County exodus" fromNorth Carolina that initially started the Jarvis, Mason and Harrisfamilies on their westward migrations, many of the descendants split offthe Tennessee to Missouri route and elected to go to Oklahoma. PerhapsEliza had existing family there and that prompted the move?

From the research of Ed Doughty, "Family lore indicates that Marion spentall the money he had to purchase a car in the early 1920s. When the carproved to be stolen, and was confiscated by the authorities, Marion wentmad and was placed in an institution in St. Louis. He died there in 1926and is buried in the Lower Indian Creek Cemetery in Washington County,Missouri.
From the June 9, 1900 Census of Washington County, Missouri (HarmonyTownship) we find listed:
Marion F. Jarvis, male, 27
Elizabeth R. Jarvis, wife, 19
Bula M. Jarvis, daughter, 5It is my assumption that Laura Mason Jarvis, Marion's first wife, tookEura Jarvis (child born 1897) with her when she and Marion parted ways.
Laura E. Mason was born in 1854/1879. She died in 1900/1968. She married Foster Marion Jarvis in 1894 in Washington County, Missouri.
Marion has a second wife in 1899, and research has not yet proven whetherLaura simply divorced Marion between 1897 (the birth year of their secondchild, Eura) and 1899, or if she died. Because Eura is not listed inMarion's household in the 1900 census, I am assuming that Laura divorcedand took this child with her. More research will be done to gather moreinformation.
