Jarvis, Eddie L.

Picher Oklahoma, July 28 About twenty-five minutes after Eddie L. Jarvis had been seen working, the night foreman at the hard rock lead and zinc Netta flotation mill of the Eagle Picher Company, found his dead body by the side of a three foot trough where he had been working. The exact cause of his death has not been determined at this time. It seemed impossible that a fall could have killed him. He was standing in a light stream of water and was working near an electric light wire with a voltage of 110, which has been advanced as a theory that he might have been electrocuted. He was found dead at his post, at 11 o'clock Sunday night. The body was taken to the morgue of the Todd undertaking company, of Picher and will be sent to Webb City Missouri for funeral Tuesday, and will probably be shipped to a former home near St. Louis Missouri, for burial.

Jarvis, who was 24 years old, worked while afflicted with a severe case of white swelling in a leg. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Lilly Jarvis, two brothers, Everett Jarvis and Winifred Jarvis; two sisters, Eliza Jarvis and Pearl Jarvis, of North Allen street, Webb City, Missouri, brothers, L. "Blondie" Jarvis of Webb City; Otis Jarvis, Treece Kansas, and Virgil Jarvis and sister, Mrs. Laura Gilim of Quaker Missouri, and a sister, Mrs. Hallie Tarr of Parsons Kansas, all of whom are expected to arrive for the funeral.
