W. M. JARVIS is prominently known throughout the southwest as an agriculturist and stock raiser and as the proprietor of The Heliker & Jarvis Seminole Company, one of the largest ranches in Seminole county, Oklahoma. This valuable tract contains ten thousand acres, eight thousand acres of which are under cultivation, and the land is very rich and especially well adapted to the raising of cotton, corn and alfalfa. Seventy-four tenant houses have been built on this farm, as well as a blacksmith shop and a good store. On the Indian lease land there is also a school house with an attendance of eighty-four pupils, superintended by a capable and efficient teacher, and church services are held in this school house once a month and Sunday-school every Sunday. The farm is under the management of Heliker & Jarvis, and these gentlemen are just and liberal in their dealings with their tenants and are numbered among the most prominent business men in this part of the state.
W. M. Jarvis came to the Indian Territory in 1880, and in 1890 to Pottawatomie county, Oklahoma, first locating near McLoud, from whence in 1900 he came to his present large estate. He has thus been a resident of what is now the state of Oklahoma for twenty-eight years, one of its earliest pioneers and now one of its leading business men. He was born in Shelbyville, Shelby county, Illinois, August 12, 1863, and is a representative of an old Virginian family. His father, Samuel Jarvis, was a Civil war soldier and died in Pottawatomie county, Oklahoma, when sixty-six years of age, a life-long farmer and a member of the Christian church. His mother, Sarah Foltz, was born in Pennsylvania and is of Pennsylvania Dutch descent. She is now living in this county, the mother of six children.
Their son W. M. Jarvis was fourteen years of age when he went to Iowa and from there he came to the Indian Territory and rode the range for years.
In Coles county, Illinois, he was united in marriage to Nettie Horsley, who was the first white child born in the Osage Nation of Indian Territory. The Indian chief of the nation some time later wished to adopt her, and being refused the parents were notified to leave that country. Her father, Theodore Horsley, died in Logan county, Oklahoma, a well known cattleman. Mrs. Jarvis was educated in the Osage Mission school, and her marriage has been blessed by the birth of seven children: Ethel, Pearl, Floyd, Lois, Henry, Gladys and Elaine. Mr. Jarvis is an active Republican worker, and has served as a delegate to the state conventions. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity and a charter member of McLoud Lodge No. 157, which was organized at Dale. He is a man of excellent business qualifications, fair and honorable in his dealings, and he is one of the best known men of Pottawatomie county. Mrs. Jarvis is a member of the Christian church. I have it from a daughter of William and Nettie that the middle name was Jackson. I think the writer of the story above must have made two initials out of the abbreviation for William When William first came to the Indian Territory he worked on Joshua Theodore Horsley's ranch in the Cherokee Outlet.

* The birth date of Christian is recorded in the New Hanover Lutheran Church record book of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. This record also indicates he was baptised February 9, 1752, sponsored by Christian Kurtz and Elizabeth Borchart and the parents were listed as Adam and Eva Margaretha Biebel (Pennsylvania German Church Records, Vol. II,Page 157, Genealogical Publishing Company) Montgomery Co did not exist at the time of his birth, the county was actually Philadelphia Co., PA.Montgomery Co., PA was formed in 1770.
Christian wrote his Will on July 13, 1824 and it was probated in Greene Co., TN on October 22, 1833. The inventory of his estate was recorded on January 28, 1833 (Greene Co., TN Inventory of Estates, volume January 1828 to June 1843, page 305 dated January 28, 1833). Christian's Will mentions his children by name including Christian Jr. who had died in 1806 and also his second wife Margareth. The death date of Christian is recorded in the family Bible belonging to his youngest son Isaac(Greene Co., TN Pioneer May 1990issue).
Christian and Margareth are buried in the Gum Springs cemetery located down the Warrensburg Highway from Christian's homestead. A worn and weathered stone marks their final resting place and because of the nature of the tombstone selected, any inscriptions on the rock have long since disappeared. The late D. T. Jones, great-great grandson of Christian Bible, learned from his mother Ellen Smith Bible Jones the location of Christian's tombstone in the Gum Springs cemetery and he showed Dorothy Ballard who showed Ralph Cansler.
Baptized on February 9, 1752 at New Hanover Lutheran Church, sponsored by Christian Kurtz and Elizabeth Borchart.
