A very well known farmer of Windham Township passed to his rest on
Sunday in the person of Oliver Jarvis.
Mr. Jarvis suffered a paralytic stroke about two years ago, from
which he never fully recovered, although he was not seriously ill
until about three weeks ago.
The deceased has been a prominent man in the county for forty
years, coming to Windham from Hamilton about that time. He was a
prominent member of the Home Circle and the Ancient Order United
Workman, and a member of the Methodist church.
He leaves to mourn his loss two sons and two daughters. His
surviving sons are Edgar of Waterford, and Frank of Woodhouse. The
daughters are Mrs. Arthur Sterling of Toronto, and Mrs. Horace Widner
of Windham.
Three brothers and a sister also survive. His sister is Mrs.
Burkholder of Hamilton, and his brothers are Duncan and Sylvester of
Hamilton, and Isaac of Beemsville.
His wife predeceased him four years ago.
The funeral, which was private, took place on Tuesday afternoon
from his late residence to the Old Windham cemetery, Elder Moore and
Rev. W. H. Garnham performing the services.
