Book excerpt: "Family Nibbles - Volume 6, Stories of Our Jarvis Ancestors 1865-1920" is a compilation of stories from the blog site familynibbles.com. These stories include genealogy research on one line of Jarvis families in Indiana and Kansas. This volume begins after the Civil War and follows our Jarvis families through the end of World War I. In 1865 the Civil War was over. Three generations of Jarvises lived in southeast Indiana – Harvey and Sarah, Joseph and Martha, and Newton. By the early 1910s, these generations had died out. There remained Jarvis families in Indiana, but our next generation, Ralph Jarvis, came west to Kansas. By the end of World War I, Ralph would marry and set down roots in Kansas. This volume is also dedicated to two technological wonders of this era. 1. This is the first volume in which we have photographs of our grandparents! That adds a wonderful new dimension to our memories of them. 2. The electric light illuminated homes and lives! Our grandparent Ralph Jarvis worked in this new industry, and it brought him to Kansas and his future wife.
