Velma Jarman is William Charles Jarman's son Reed's widow. I have been so fortunate as to be able to do her hair for some time now and she has shared with me story after story of Jarman activities thru the 5 decades or more. After William died his house was left to be ransacked and weathered. She was inspired to visit one day and found in the rubble of fallen roof, vandalism and age, a treasure trove of pictures and genealogy, letters hand written family group sheets etc. We owe a lot to this adopted Jarman woman. Who when she took on the name took on the clan. She loves all things that are Jarman. I think all things that are Jarman must love her too!
