26 Feb 1913, Otsego NY, Jessie Holmes (then a teacher at nearby Edmeston) at age 22 marries Jewitt Lull MARVIN. He is a 21yo plumber from New Berlin. (They may have known each other in high school.) His parents are Frank Marvin and Anna R. Medbury. The couple reside in New Berlin.

In 1926, Jessie's mother Minnie dies. She and Husband Herbert are buried in Columbus Corners Cemetery.

1930 Census shows the couple had two daughters
Jewett L Marvin, Head M 38 New York
Jessie E Marvin, Wife F 39 New York
Jane Caroline Marvin, Daughter F 11 New York
Esther E Marvin, Daughter F 4 New York

Older sister Winifred married Harold Rogers and had two daughters; Louise and Maxine.

Jessie Holmes-Marvin died 26 July 1964 in the town of her birth, Brookfield, Madison County, NY. She is buried at Brookfield Rural Cemetery. Jewett Marvin died 1985 and is buried next to Jessie.

I am told by a fellow researcher that Jessie's daughter Jane died very recently, but that Esther still is living. I will attempt to reach her, or barring that - try to find descendants through either Esther or Jane.
