Julius Gervais, originally born in Canada, lived in Saginaw, Saginaw, Michigan. Before his war service, he was a cab driver (also known as a hackman, hack driver, or teamster) and a bartender at the Edelmann Hotel. Jarvey was also a part of the IOF (Independant Order of Foresters), a fraternal organisation which aids various community causes.
He entered the Union army during the War of 1860 (The Civil War). He was enlisted the 5th of June, 1863 (or on the 6th of May, 1863), and held the rank of Private. He served in Company L, Michigan 7th Cavalry Regiment (beginning on the 11th of june, 1863), and served the state of Michigan in general. He was a prisoner of war at White's Ford, Virginia on september 22, 1863. During a battle at Cedar Mountain around 1864, his right arm was "mutilated" (in other words, lost). He recieved an honourable discharge (for disabilty) on the 30th of March, 1865, at New York, New York, New York. According to a Canadian burial record, Jarvey was "given a 'generous pension' which allowed him to live in 'perfect wealth' for the rest of his days".
After the War, Jarvey first married Kate Reese. Kate passed away around the 20th of May, 1897, due to a "complication of diseases" (as cited by a local newspaper). They had no children. Julius most likely moved back to Canada (after the death of his first wife), where he met his second wife. His second marriage was to Amandine St. Aubin.
