Notes for ELECTA JARVIS:

Listed in the 1877-78 Directory of Milwaukee as residing at the Church Home, 682 Van Buren.

 

In the Jarvis Gen, p. 155, the author excerpts a letter he received from Mrs. Electa Jarvis Scarrett, now in her ninety-first year, dated December 10, 1878. It says in part,

"My father, Doctor Joseph Jarvis, was, I think, a native of Danbury, Connecticut. He studied medicine in Lanesborough, Berkshire Co., Mass. He served as surgeon in the American Revolutionary War over three years, after which he returned to Lanesborough, and practiced his profession there until November 1805, when he removed to New Baltimore, on the banks fo the Hudson River, where he closed his useful and honorable life, aged 54. I have only to say of my father, he was a man I was proud to call father. My dear parents had fourteen children. Of that large family, I am the only one left in this world of tears. ... I have written this poor letter with my own hand, without glasses."

 

It can be supposed that she provided the names and dates for her children, and for her husband's death, that appear in that book.
