JOHN JAMES, proprietor of the Pioneer Foundry, was born at Shrewsbury, 
England. Here he attended the schools until 16 years of age, when he went to 
Liverpool and worked for George Henry Lockdale & Co., West India merchants, 
working for this firm seventeen years. In 1871, he emigrated to America and 
located at La Crosse, entering into partnership with Frederic Thornely in the 
foundry business. In 1878, he purchased the interest of Mr. Thornely, and has 
since conducted the business alone.
