Answer 1

Can you give more information on the company, as in what country?  I did an internet search and there are several - Austrailia as well as US and a Peter Jarvis who deals in classic cars, so not sure how to help.

Answer 2

Ok, here's an online article referring to the car:

http://www.wvencyclopedia.org/articles/1708

and here is a link to the magazine referred to in the article's source section:

http://www.wvculture.org/goldenseal/Fall99/fall99.html

Maybe you can get a copy of that magazine.  As to the family members and names, I always start with familysearch.org where you can find birth, death, census, etc. records for your research.  Hope this helps.  :-)

Answer 3

My name is Herb Redman.  I am writing an encyclopedia of American cars, including the Jarvis Huntington and the Norwalk.  I live in Huntington, Wv.  You mention you have pictures about the factory, Jarvis brothers, etc.  I was wondering how I could get copies of the info.  I will give you credit for the info.  Any info about the Jarvis Huntington.  Please let me know about any expense involving the same.  Thank You.

Herbert, Lauren Conte is the one with access to the pictures. She is an active Wikitree member. To make sure you reach her, I would send a private message to her. On her profile page, right above ==Biography== is a small yellow, then green stripe. In the yellow next to her name, you will see a link that says "send private message."

Then the link takes you to a screen where you can write directly to her. Here is her profile: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Schultz-1342
