DR. EDWARD V. JARRETT
is a native of Georgia, born in 1854. He was educated in Mercer University, 
Georgia, taking up the study of medicine shortly afterward, and graduating at 
the Atlantic College of Medicine in 1874, and was demonstrator of anatomy for 
two years.  He then entered upon the practice of his profession in his native 
State, and for four years continued to make that his home.  He afterward settled 
in Valley Mills, Texas, where he remained ten years.  There he had a large 
practice, and also gave his attention to sheep business and general 
stock-raising, which did not, however, prove a financial success.
       In November, 1888, Dr. Jarrett came to California and settled in 
Fowler, Fresno County, where he resides at the present writing.  He established 
the only drug store in the town, and in partnership with Dr. Cannan is 
conducting that enterprise, also having a large and profitable medical practice.
       He was married, December 25, 1880, to Miss Ella Barnett, a native of 
Texas, and has a family of three children.
