Sudden Death
This morning about ten o’clock Chas. E. [Edwin] Jarvis, who has been in very delicate health for some time, started from the residence of his mother, 107 South Sixth street, to go to South Hill for medical treatment, and while hastening to catch a street car on Division street, was stricken down with a hemorrhage of the lungs, which caused his death a few moments after. Persons who were passing that way picked the unfortunate young man up and carried him to the home of his mother, Mrs. Caroline Jarvis.

The deceased was the youngest boy of the family, and was known as a bright young man of steady habits, industrious and a very excellent shorthand writer. He is a graduate of the High School in this city, and has been employed in the C., B. & Q. offices here and at Boston. Last fall his eyesight began to fail and soon after his lungs weakened, and his health gradually declined. He is a brother of Harry and Walter Jarvis, well-known shorthand writers, now in the employ of the C.B. & Q.

The time of the funeral will be announced hereafter. (Burlington Daily Gazette, Burlington, IA, April 19, 1886)
