Notes BIOGRAPHY
David Jones was born in Port Talbot, Wales in 1858, the son of David Jones and Elizabeth Davies. According to his Marriage and Death Registrations, David's father was a farmer. David emigrated to New Zealand when he was about 13 years of age, but details have not been discovered yet.
In 1886 David married Emily Mist at Waipawa. He was labouring and Emily was a domestic servant. The marriage took place at the residence of Thomas Wooster, a Waipawa cattle dealer. Emily and David had seven children. David worked on farms in Hawkes Bay until the family settled in Woodville about 1891 where David farmed.
David died in 1902 in Woodville, aged 44, and was buried in Woodville. He died after two weeks illness with quinsy & pneumonia. Seven months after David's death his last son David was born.
We regret to record the death of Mr David Jones, a well-known settler of the Masterton Road, which took place yesterday morning. Deceased had been seriously ill for some weeks, and the end was not unexpected. He leaves a widow and seven children, to whom the deepest sympathy will go out in their sad bereavement.
