From the book, "History of Edgar County, Illinois, 1879":


E. D. JUREY, livery and feed stable, Paris; was born in Marion Co., Ohio,
Feb. 15, 1837; he was raised upon a farm, which gave him a practical
knowledge of farming and stock-raising, which business he has followed and
has been quite successful, having acquired a good property, which is the
resulty of his own labor, energy and economy; he came to Paris in 1863 and,
in 1873, he built and stocked the livery-stable that he now runs, which is
by far the best stable in Paris; he is social and genial, by which he holds
many friends and patrons. He married Miss Katie Graham, of Paris, March 9,
1875; they have one child--Anna M.
