JEWETT, D. CLINTON, was born in Newark, Ohio, December 9, 1854; attended the 
public schools until February, 1869, when he entered his father's wholesale 
grocery store as shipping clerk. In 1870 he entered the employment of the Adams 
Express Co. and remained with the company twelve years. In September, 1882, was 
elected secretary of the Newark Building Association and during the next six 
vears paid out $750,000 for the construction of five hundred houses. On the 25th 
day of May, 1889, came to Sioux Falls, where he has since resided, and is one of 
the firm of Jewett Bros. & Jewett. He was never a candidate for a political 
office, and has refused to permit his name to be used in that connection, but he 
is an enthusiastic Republican and endeavors to neutralize as far as he can the 
labor of his brother, C. A. Jewett, in the interest of the opposite parties.  He 
is a thorough business man and an enterprising, esteemed citizen.
