GEORGE J. JARVIS, of San Felipe, is one of  the  energetic and prosperous
farmers of San Benito county. He is a native of England, and was born in London
July 16, 1847. Two brothers had preceded him to this country, and upon the death
of his parents when he was quite small, he followed them to the new country,
joining them in Herkimer county, New York, in 1855. During his residence in that
county he acquired a thorough knowledge of the dairy business.

  In 1869 Mr. Jarvis came to California and located in Solano county, and there
remained until he located upon his present place, in 1872. Here he owns eighty
acres of rich, dark loam soil, in the extreme north of San Benito county, at San
Felipe, between Hollister and Gilroy, where he operates a dairy of about
thirty-five cows.

  Mr. Jarvis married, in San Felipe, Mrs. McLeod, an estimable widow, a native
of Prince Edward Island, and she has borne her husband six children, namely:
Grace, Beatrice, George, Alice, Austin and Russell. By a former marriage Mrs.
Jarvis had three children, namely: Emma, a teacher in the public schools; Janie
and William.

  Mr. Jarvis and his good wife occupy an enviable position in the society of San
Felipe, and Mr. Jarvis is well known for his energy, thrift and integrity.
