DAVID D. JONES, dealer in real estate, etc., Bangor; born in New York City in 
1829. His parents were natives of Wales, and died when he was a child. He was 
brought up by relatives in Steuben, Oneida Co., N. Y.; went to Utica when a 
young man; came to La Crosse County in 1856, and located in the town of 
Bangor; has been variously engaged, since he came to Bangor, in real estate, 
selling goods as a commercial man, etc. In 1825, his father purchased a lot on 
Fifth avenue, New York City, dying soon after, and the name Jones being a 
common one, doubts arose in after years as to who were the legal heirs of this 
property. After an extended and expensive litigation, Mr. Jones succeeded in 
establishing the fact that he was heir to this property. His wife was Miss 
Elizabeth Vaughan. They have five children - Mrs. James Roberts, Amaretta, 
Vivian and Frank (of Eau Claire), and Victor.
