(P7081) "Jarvis Andrew Lattin was born 29 May 1853 in Farmingdale, Queens County, New York. He married Mary Jane Puckett 15 October 1874 in Jasper Township of Carroll County, Iowa. Mary Jane Puckett was born 8 October 1854 in Randolph County, Indiana and died 29 October 1927 at Lake Helen, Volusia County, Florida. After the death of Mary Jane Puckett Lattin, Jarvis Lattin remarried to Agnes Dimmock who was a distant cousin of his. ... He died 21 February 1941 and was also buried in the Powell Cemetery in Farmingdale. Jarvis A. Lattin was a rather rough character who felt most comfortable as an aggressive pioneer or businessman. He liked a drink of whiskey, and he regularly smoked cigars. He may have drunk too much whiskey, (He liked an inch of whiskey a day, preferably in a milk bottle), but he was not known to be an alcoholic. However, he was a crusty old man who enjoyed telling of his time prospecting in the Black Hills or of his management practices in the pickle factory. His style was rough. He was impatient and had little sympathy for do-gooders. He once said that he never ate walnuts, oranges or hard-boiled eggs because "it was too much work to hull 'em." He used strike-anywhere matches which he ignited by rubbing them briskly across the seat of his pants; then after he had lit his cigar, he whittled the end of the matchstick to a point to be inserted in the last half-inch of the cigar, so that he could smoke the cigar to the very end. ..."
