Y., September 27, 1846, but went with his parents when a child to Wisconsin, where was reared on a farm and educated in the district and high schools at Janesville. When twenty-four years old he went to Winthrop, Iowa, and for seven years was engaged in farming in Iowa, but sold his farm and moved to this county and located at Sioux Falls, April 15, 1883, since which time he has been engaged in the real estate business. The Edmison-Jameson block was built by him and M Edmison, and in other ways Mr. Jameson has shown himself to be an enterprising citizen. He is a conservative, honest man, and we liked by all who know him.
