Daniel Oriah Jarvis 1917 - 2006
By Daniel 0. Jarvis
Daniel Oriah Jarvis was born in the homestead community of Miramonte, seven miles west of Benson, Arizona on 3 July 1917. He was the fifth child of William Heber Jarvis and Ruth Bloomfield Wilson. A year later Daniel's father sold the homestead and moved the family to Clint, Texas. The following spring the family returned to the Colonies in Mexico - which they had left in 1912. It was revealed to his parents that they should move to Colonia Pacheco.
Things looked hopeful. Land was acquired, crops planted and Dan's father was called as first counselor to the Ward Bishop Clarence Lunt. On January 9, 1922, Dan's mother gave birth to twin boys, and on January 29 she died. Dan's father was in a state of shock. He must have wondered: is this why we were directed to return to Pacheco?
The children were scattered to various families and relatives. After remaining with his father for a year, Dan was placed with Harlem and Maggie Johnson who were living in Corrales, near Pacheco. Later Dan was moved from the Johnson family and lived with John and Eliza Mangum in Pacheco. From there he went to live with his Aunt Centenna Turley in Colonia Juarez.
In 1925, when Dan's father married Ella Wall, it was then possible for the family to be brought back together except for Ike, one of the twins, who remained with an uncle in the U.S. The first winter after Dan's father married Ella, the family moved to Pacheco again, where Ella taught school that year. Dan remembers the small log cabin in which they lived, that they carried all their water for blocks, and that a posse of armed men rode by on their way to hunt cattle thieves that they believed were Yaqui Indians from Sonora.
The next school year found the family in the Wall home in Colonia Juarez. Dan's father Will and Ella worked hard to care for their family and their home. It was a time of learning. The older children eventually left home to seek employment in the U.S. Dan continued on through high school and then he, in turn, left to go to Arizona. There his brother, Dave, had found a job in the mines. After a few months, Dan also was hired to work underground.
In the local LDS Branch Dan found a friend in Ed Evans. On a week-end, Ed took Dan to his home in Binghampton, a Mormon settlement on the outskirts of Tucson. Next door lived a girl Ed wanted Dan to meet. Her name was Jane Stock.
About a year later Jane and Dan were married on May 7th, 1938. Dan had lost his job in Bisbee due to a general lay-off.
Now he had a wife to support and no job. Dan and Ed both camped on the doorstep of the mine superintendent of a small mine in Ruby, Arizona. Jobs were still very scarce and it took all summer for a couple of vacancies to come up in the mine and the mill. Dan and Ed finally got the jobs they were after.
Dan and Jane lived in a tent with a tin roof for a year in Ruby, but they were very happy. Then the mines in Bisbee began hiring again and Dan and Jane were able to move there in time for their first born to arrive at the Copper Queen Hospital, November 18, 1939. Again their employment in the mines was cut short by Dan's illness.
They moved to Tucson and were employed by Jane's father, Jim Stock. They were given a lot on Dodge Blvd. near Jane's parent's home, where they built their first small home while living in a regular tent. They dug a well, put in a pump and even planted a small patch of wheat. It was beginning to look like the beginnings of a real home.
And then came Pearl Harbor. Dan soon got a job in San Diego, California. There they lived for five years, returning to Mesa to make their home as the war was coming to an end.
In Mesa, Dan established a floor covering business and then took a job as a truant officer for the Mesa Public Schools. This job lasted 17 years and provided needed benefits. Finally retired in 1979, Jane and Dan became the caretakers of a church owned property near Young, Arizona. This lasted five years, and during the last year and a half Dan served as Branch President of the Young Branch.
Returning to their home in Mesa, the traffic and pollution seemed very depressing. They decided to look elsewhere, finally buying a home in Mayer, Arizona, in Yavapai County. Within eight months they had helped establish a Branch of the Church, a part of the Prescott Arizona Stake. After nine years, the branch became a ward.
Dan has served in a bishopric and on the high council, as Young Men's President, as a stake missionary, and other callings in the Church.
Dan and Jane served a full time mission for 8 months in 1991-92 to the Dominican Republic.
Dan and Jane have eight children—six girls and two boys. There are at present 46 grandchildren.
Dan passed away on March 8, 2006 and was buried in the Binghampton Cemetery near Tucson, AZ. Jane followed him on July 11, 2007 and is buried beside him.
