Obituary, source unknown:

On Monday morning, June 1, 1942, Samuel Nelson Jarvis departed this life at the age of 87 years. He was born April 26, 1855, on a farm near Waveland, Ind. He was the son of Joseph and Rachel Dooley Jarvis. He lived on this same farm his entire lifetime. He attended school in an old log building built in the midst of a deep, gloomy woods on his father's farm. He lived the life of an early pioneer, working in the fields of his father with rude wooden implements, and enjoying the free country life of beautiful sights and sounds. From early youth he took a keen, active interest in world affairs and kept this interest until the day of his death. He was well-read and could discuss almost any subject with clarity and understanding. On October 6, 1880, he married Nancy Alice Peyton (sic). To this union four children were born: Claude Jarvis, now residing in Crawfordsville; Mrs. Lola Lee Fletcher of Darlington; Mrs. Ethel Maude Deere and Mrs Mary Dott Esterbrook, of Terre Haute. Four grandchildren, Mrs. Juanita Graham, Mrs. Gladise (sic) Randolph, Kenneth Fletcher, and Mrs. Mary Florence Larrick; three great grandchildren, Richard Randolph, Robert Larrick and Rebecca Larrick, had the joy and privilege of growing up in an environment of high ideal, patient understanding and kindly sympathy expressed by this man. His first wife passed on March 23, 1907. On November 24, 1909, he married Sarah Catherine Ford of Indianapolis and they have enjoyed many happy years together. All of his life, he lived on the same farm, and for many years he was an active farmer, raising black cattle and other livestock, as well as much grain. He loved his home above all else and never was satisfied very long at a time when he was away from it. He was an affectionate husband, a loving father, a kind, sympathetic grandfather and a good neighbor. He was courteous and hospitable, always thinking of the happiness and welfare of others. Although he had been in failing health about one year, he had been bedfast only one month. On a beautiful summer morning, he quietly slipped away from us, leaving us an example of a life well spent.
