Clement Jarvis of Kankakee

One of the first things I noticed when I opened Anna Christina's journal were the loose pieces of paper behind the front cover. Among them was a small, newspaper clipping in very good condition. It said the following:

-As the express train was passing through Manteno Ill., on Monday, Clement Jarvis, of Kankakee, attempted to jump from the train, fell, and was mangled under the wheels. He leaves a wife and seven children in poverty. 

After reading this I had many thoughts. It was a terrible tragedy. I had no idea what year this piece of paper was from and how did Anna Christina know this person? Were they friends? Family? Acquaintances?

A relatively quick search online referenced an 1872 death notice in the Kankakee (Illinois) Gazette. So far I have been unable to find any other information about him. I am hoping that he is mentioned in the journal.
