Mr. Rose says the funeral was largely attended and there was a sad scene when the little children gathered around the grave of their murdered father. it now appears that the murder of Jarvis was cold-blooded and uncalled for. Jarvis was in his wagon returning from Jacksonville when Delp demanded a ride. Jarvis remarked, "Why don't you ride your horse?" Delp tied his horse on behind the wagon and got in beside Jarvis. Delp was under the influence of liquor and Jarvis had not been drinking at all. Jarvis' house in about 3 miles from Jacksonville and when in sight of home his family and others were standing in the door and saw the wagon approach. They saw Delp discharge a revolver at Jarvis and missing him, jump out of the wagon. Jarvis got out on the opposite side, when Delp followed him around and shot at him the second time with effect. Some men here rode up and one remarked: "You have put your neck in the halter, Delp." He replied, "I don't care. I said I'd kill him, and I did it." Jarvis lived only a few minutes and was conscious to the last though suffering great pain. he said the shooting was altogether unprovoked and with his dying breath accused Delp of his murder. Delp was taken to Rockville and locked up or he would have been lynched before 12 hours. He is a man 56 years of age and in prosperous circumstances. Jarvis was about 45 years of age, and was a cripple in one leg. It is said Delp expects to hang and is profoundly indifferent as to his fate. - Crawfordsville Star, June 25, 1885 Winfield Scott Jarvis, son of Nathan and Rachel (Moore) Jarvis, was born on January 18, 1847, near Waveland.

During the long winter months as disease seemed to fasten itself more tenaciously upon him and it became very evident to him and to his friends that he would be called to his eternal home, he trusted his case in their hand and very much appreciated the kindness shown him. Myrtle and Jesse with Lonnie Jenkins and his wife, Verna, assisted by other members of the family and kind neighbors have administered to his needs as faithfully and kindly as own children could have done. William was of a jovial nature and always had a kind and cheerful word for his friends and greatly appreciated any kindness shown him. Reared under the influence of a good Christian mother he never forgot her teaching and when sorrow came to him in the loss of his wife, he turned to the Heavenly Father for comfort and it became his daily habit to read his Bible and ask Him for His Blessings and in his last conscious moments he was heard to tell his Savior what joy he found in trusting in Him, and repeatedly said that he was happy with his Lord.
