Haskell "Hack" Jarvis.
This is the notice of my grandfather's death. He was born 12/12/12 died 7/17/48, age 35. His kidney's shut down.
He was County Court Clerk from 1941 and reelected in 1945. He had his own grocery
store and also ran one at the corner of Tick Ridge as you start up the hill.
He died while serving his 2nd term and his wife Evelyn Burchett
Jarvis finished out his term. He left behind 6 children ages 12 {1 month
shy of 13th birthday} to 2 months old. He is buried on Tick Ridge in the family plot.
He was known for being crippled as a child from scrofula and
used crutches as a child. However as an adult his outgoing attitude and
never turning down a bet is what made him the popular man he was.
He was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Grayson and 2 years following his death his
children went to the Masonic home in Louisville. His children never would
get over his passing and visit his grave every summer.
