From - Looking Backward by Robert Edwin Gunton, P. M., June 22nd 1933 -
...My Uncle Isaac, after he married Rosetta Walker, bought a farm in Walsingham, but it was not a very desireable situation, being back from the main roads and very hilly, but it suited his finances. He cleared up the land and built his own house and barn. He had worked at carpenter work before going on the farm. His wife was a good helpmate and an exceedingly clean housekeeper. It is said that her floors were so white you could eat off them, and she was an excellent cook. I will always remember their home as one of hard work and no play. Their son, Edward R. Jarvis, was just as industrious as his parents. He had considerable natural musical ability but never had an opportunity to have it developed...
