Family Nibbles – Volume 7

Stories of Our Jarvis Ancestors 1920-1938

This volume is about the lives of Ralph and Chleo Jarvis and their family. They were in their prime in the 1920s and 1930s. They got married, worked, and raised a family.

The book is also about Nathan L. Jones, the visionary mentor to Ralph Jarvis. Jones provided Jarvis with opportunities, and Ralph Jarvis took advantage of them.

The good parts about me are true. The rest isn’t.

This book is about the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression. These two decades saw the best of times and the worst of times.

A toast! The 30s will be even better than the 20s.

Finally, this book is about the modernization of American life. It was the age of the automobile, radio, and telephone. Perhaps most important, it was the age of electricity, bringing light and electric appliances into the homes of ordinary people.

Thanks

It’s been fun and rewarding to learn how to create a book. But the part I’ve enjoyed most is the research and stories about our family.

We will continue our stories as the Jarvis family deals with World War II and the post-war boom.

Thanks to all you readers.
