Bio: Wife of Albert Henry "Billy" Jarvis and Lewis Frederick Orvis. Daughter of James Edwin Randall and Lucy Reynolds.OBITUARYTHE MONTROSE DAILY PRESSMontrose, ColoradoFriday, November 20, 1942A well known Ouray pioneer, Mrs. L. F. Orvis, succumbed at her home near Ridgway on Tuesday night, death following a long period of ill-health due to her advanced age. She was 89 years old.Mrs. Orvis died on the land where she had lived a large part of her life and where for years people have been attracted by the Orvis swimming pool, one of the few places in this part of the country where those who like to swim may enjoy the sport.Born July 12, 1853 at Shabney's Grove, Ill., Mrs. Orvis left her native state as a child with her family who joined one of the wagon trains heading west. Enroute, the caravan was attacked by Indians and was finally escorted by troops to Salt Lake City. However, in 1876, the family came to Colorado, choosing the site of the present Orvis ranch as a place to settle. With no roads in the country, members of the family were let down over the hillsides with ropes.The family settled on the land which eventually became known as the Orvis ranch, but they soon encountered difficulties for the tract was in the Ute Indian Reservation. A precious document of the early days is still in the family. It is a notice from the land office of that day requesting the family to vacate the land peaceably by order of President Grant, else the troops would be sent to enforce the eviction.The family left and went to Hot Springs, now the beautiful and famous town of Ouray, then a barren open country. The family had placer holdings in the present vicinity of Ouray swimming pool. Later the family returned to the Ridgway area and took up residence on the site where it had first settled.About 1868, Mrs. Orvis contracted her first marriage which was to A. H. Jarvis, who died in 1879. The couple had three children, only one of whom is still alive, Mrs. F. Stanley McCalley of South Gate, Calif., the former Lucy Jarvis.In 1882 at "Hot Springs" Mrs. Jarvis was married to L.F. Orvis who succumbed in 1929. The couple had six children, two dying in infancy. Those who survive are Lewis F. Orvis, Ridgway, Colo., Mrs. Edward Husband, Seattle, Wash., Mrs. J. N. Wilson, Royal, Utah, Mrs. N. H. Pruter, Mullan, Idaho. None of the children, it is believed, will come for the funeral services as all visited their mother recently.Funeral services will take place Sunday afternoon at two o'clock at the Community church in Ridgway, the Rev. Ira Tweedy officiating with the Flor Mortuary of Ouray in charge. Interment will be at Cedar Park Cemetery.Upon the death years ago of one of the Jarvis children, a pioneer settler and neighbor by the name of Poquin offered a burial place for the child on his land, stating that he would set aside a site to be used as a cemetery for the region. He kept his word, the little burial plot being Cedar Park Cemetery where the Jarvis child was the first child to be buried and where Mrs. Orvis will be taken to her last resting place.
Gravesite Details The cemetery is known in modern times as Cedar Hill.

Ada Burns Cardon writes:
"The Hot Springs was sold to an Easterner and is now a famous working Hot Springs and people from the east travel all that way to get the benefits of the curative waters. He were a little shocked, as we were guided through, to find it was also a nudist facility. We went through rather fast. The countryside there was absolutely beautiful. I was there to visits my Ggrandmother Sarah Eloisa when a child of 5 and walked to the Umcompradre River while the men fished, but my mother rushed me back because the mosquitos were so bad."
