The Mercury, Hobart. 29th December 1870.
MARRIAGES.
JARVIS - CONNING.
At Hobart Town, on the 24th December, 1870, by
the Rev. Dr. Nicholson, William John Jarvis, only
son of Mr. John Jarvis, of Alcey Craig, Glenorchy,
to Annie Jane, of Melbourne, only daughter of
the late Mr. Robert Conning, Isle of Whithorn,
Scotland.
The Mercury, Hobart. 14th November 1889.
THE LATE MR. W. J. JARVIS.
We regret to record the decease of our respected
fellow-townsman, Mr. W. J. Jarvis. For about 20 years
past his lungs his lungs had been a source of anxiety
to him, and at last congestion set in, to which he
succumbed yesterday about noon. Dr. Wolfhagen, who
attended him in his last illness, held out hopes of
recovery until just previous to his death.
Deceased visited Melbourne a few weeks ago, and on
his return manifested signs of serious ill-health, which
caused him to take to his bed last Friday week, and he
has been confined thereto ever since.
Born in Ireland he came to Tasmania quite young and
was engaged in his youth to a grocer named Ellis, and
afterwards to Mr. Cumming, the draper. He then
commenced business as a grocer on his own account
in Liverpool-street, subsequently removing to Murray-
street, where he remained for many years trading
successfully as a draper and grocer.
Since he left the Murray-street premises he has resided
and conducted business in Liverpool-street as a grocer,
and he lately opened a drapery establishment, to which
he gave his personal attention, opposite his residence.
Mr. Jarvis was secretary of the Rechab Lodge, 362, I.C.,
taking an active interest in the craft. Mining received a
large share of his attention and energy, and he was also one
of the original promoters of the Coffee Palace movement,
devoting much of his time to the work.
Deceased had a wide circle of acquaintances who will
sympathise with the bereaved family.
He leaves a wife and a family of seven children.

Updated Jarvis Biographies
Sherri Ann Jarvis was born on March 9, 1966, to Karolynn "Kerry" Jean Zinski and Melvin "Tim" Lloyd Bremer Jr. Her stepfather was Donald Jarvis, and she took his last name along with at least one of her siblings. She grew up in Forest Lake, Minnesota, and went to Forest View Elementary and Central Junior High School.
Around 1979, Sherri was removed from her parents' care because of chronic truancy. She was sent to a youth crisis shelter in Stillwater, Minnesota. However, around her 14th birthday in 1980, she ran away before a court hearing. She spent months on her own, and in August 1980, she wrote to her mother, saying she planned to come home between the ages of 18 and 21. Unfortunately, by Halloween, she was killed by an unknown assailant.
On November 1, 1980, a truck driver found her body near the Sam Houston National Forest, lying face-down in the grass about 20 feet from Interstate Highway 45, two miles north of Huntsville. The driver called the police at 9:20 a.m. to report his discovery.
She had been dead for about six hours, putting her time of death around 3:20 a.m. She was wearing a rectangular brown pendant with a smoky blue or brown glass stone on a thin gold chain around her neck. High-heeled red leather sandals with light brown straps, which she had been seen carrying earlier, were also found nearby. The rest of her clothing was missing.
The coroner determined that she died from asphyxia due to ligature strangulation, likely with pantyhose. Fragments of the pantyhose and her underwear were found inside her vaginal cavity, probably to prevent bleeding while her body was moved. She had been sexually assaulted with a large blunt object both vaginally and anally before her death. There was no biological evidence of conventional rape. She was also severely beaten, with visible bruises, swollen lips and right eyelid, and a deep bite mark on her right shoulder.
On January 16, 1981, Sherri was buried in the Adickes Addition at Oakwood Cemetery after an open-casket funeral. The cemetery is in the same city where her body was found. She was buried under a tombstone that read, "Unknown white female. Died Nov. 1, 1980."
Recently, a new tombstone was placed at her grave, see Sherri Ann Jarvis Gravesite, including her name, nickname, photograph, and the inscription "Never alone and loved by many."
