  EDWIN J. JONES, county attorney, has been a resident of the county since he

was one year old. He is the son of James R. and Annie (Higgins) Jones, of

Adrian, natives of Wales and Ireland, respectively.



  Born in Dodgeville, Wis., March 12, 1875, he was brought with his parents when

only one year old to Bigelow, Minn., where his father engaged in the mercantile

business. After spending four years in that little village the family moved to

Adrian, where the elder Jones engaged in the mercantile business and founded the

Bank of Adrian. Edwin spent his boyhood days in the west end village. He

attended the Adrian public schools, and in 1892 became a student at the

Minneapolis academy, from which institution he was graduated in 1894. The next

two years of his life were passed as a student in the law department of the

university of Minnesota, from which he received his diploma in 1896.



  Immediately after graduation he returned to Adrian and began the practice of

his profession and assisting in the management of the bank. He completed his law

studies in 1897, when for six months he read law in the office of J. A. Town, of

Worthington. Mr. Jones was elected county attorney on the republican ticket in

November, 1902, and served a two year term. Alter the expiration of that service

he became a member of the law firm of Town & Jones, with which he was connected

until Jan. 1, 1907. He then again entered upon his duties as county attorney,

having been elected in November, 1906, and he is now serving on that term.



  Mr. Jones was married April 15, 1903, to Miss Eunice Cowin, of Adrian. To them

have been born two children: Dorothy Lucile and Marjorie.
