Olive L. Jarvis was from Midland, MI. A birth record is there for an Alice S. Jarvis born exactly 1 year later. Based on the census records this must have been a misspelling of Olive L. Jarvis. From the birth record her parents are listed as Mary Jane and Andrew Jarvis. From the ancestral file there is a Andrew Jarvis married to Jane Jennings. In the 1880 Midland Census Jane Jarvis has a 18 year old son listed as William Jennings. From several phone conversations with Dorthy Erickson, Citrus Heights, CA during 1991-2 the the following was learned. [She submitted Andrew to the Ancestral File and Andrew Jarvis is her great great uncle.] She knew that Andrew Jarvis left the area of his birth as an adult. He was married, had two daughters, and was a bit of a drifter. It was her understanding that Andrew was buried near his place of birth.

From COGS book, page 160: "Uncle Andrew Jarvis married and had two sons, Hiram and Isaiah. He married a second wife, Mrs. Jane Jennings, and they had two daughters. He roamed around from place to place, and in the end did not have a home which he could call his own. But I will always remember him as being kind-hearted and generous, and a friend of us boys, and many a good time we had roaming the woods. He knew every bird, tree and bush by name."
