Copiague.
Scudder Carll Jervis, a native and life long resident of this place, died on Sunday morning at the home of his son George S. Jervis, in his 84th year. Death followed an illness of some week's duration, a paralytic stroke being the direct cause of his demise. The deceased was a son of the late 'Squire Joel Jervis, for forty years an official of the old town of Huntington. In his younger days he was for a few years engaged in the milk trade in Brooklyn and later lived at Huntington for a short time. Nearly all of his long life was spent in this vicinity, where he pursued the avocation of a farmer. A Democrat in politics, he served a term or two as an assessor but was never very prominent in the affairs of his party.
"Along the cool sequestered vale of life.
He pursued the even tenor of his way."
Honest in all his dealings, square in every transaction he rounded out a long and useful life and passed away beloved and respected by all who knew him. Two sons, George S. and Joshua P. Jervis survive him. The funeral took place from the home of his son on Tuesday and the remains were laid to rest.
"Good neighbor, fare thee well."
