DANIEL R. JARVIS
Daniel R. Jarvis, Falmouth resident for 50 years, died Sunday in Winchester at the home of Mrs. Olive Jenkins, after a brief illness. He was 87. Mr. Jarvis had spent winters in Winchester the past three years with relatives of his late wife.
He was born July 5, 1850, in Fredericton, New Brunswick. He came to Falmouth in February, 1885, to work on construction of the R.M. Morse estate, Grassmere, on Jones road, now owned by C.T. Russell. On June 9 of the same year he married Miss Anita M. Goodspeed, daughter of Harrison and Caroline Goodspeed, in Whitman. They lived in the Goodspeed house on East Main street next to St. Patrick's church until Mrs. Jarvis's death on November 2, 1934. Mrs. Jarvis was an invalid for nearly ten years before her death. When she was first taken ill Mr. Jarvis gave up his carpenter business and devoted his time to caring for his wife and domestic duties.
He lived for a period in Haverhill following his wife's death. He is survived by many nephews and nieces. When he first came to Falmouth he used to say with pride that he was the youngest of 21 children.
Early in October Mr. Jarvis sold his house and land on East Main street to St. Patrick's church for a parish hall and parking space. Funeral services were held Wednesday at 2 P.M. at Forest Hills crematory. Burial was at Oak Grove cemetery.
