EDWARD D. JONES, ESQ., DETROIT, MICH., VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE DETROIT DRY DOCK ENGINE WORKS. Our short sketches of "WelshAmerican Worthies" are not intended to be simply and merely tributes of honor to those Weish-Americans who have attained success and honor, but also to furnish our young people with personal examples and illustrations of successful lives, which should stimulate them to cherish those qualities and virtues which tend to improve their position in life. Among this class of "Welsh-American Worthies," Mr. Edward D. Jones, Detroit, Mich., deserves an honorable place as an instance of one who has attained a position of wealth, honor and usefulness by reason of his industry, perseverance and integrity. Mr. Jones was born in 1819, at a place called Lôn, near Llanuwchlyn, Meirionethshire, North Wales, his parents being David and Catha rine Jones, who were farmers, and highly respected in the community. After acquiring such elementary education as was afforded by the common schools of the district, he served his apprenticeship to the trade of blacksmith at Llangower. Afterward he lived a short time at Oswestry and Birmingham. Emigrating to America in 1844, he settled first in New York, where he found employment as black smith. Moving from New York to Detroit, Mich., in 1853, he still worked for 14 years at his own trade. In 1865, however, having, as foreman for others, accumulated a little money by economy and industry, Mr. Jones, along with others, who have proved excellent partners, formed a pany under the title of "The Detroit Dry Dock Engine Works "* of which Mr. Jones has been from the beginning a prominent member, and is at present Vice President of the Company. The establishment is extensive and complete, including the several departments of machine, foundry, boiler and blacksmith shops the latter always having been unde com *As we are going to press, we learn that the plant of the Dry Dock Engine Works have been sold and merged in a new company, to be known hereafter as The Detroit Dry Dock Engine Company. the management of Mr. Jones. The capital stock invested on the formation of the company was about $25,000. This, however, has been gradually increased to the sum of $200,000. And the company now handles an annual business of over $500,000. No less than about 140 engines, ranging in value from $5,000 to $50,000 each, have been built and fitted up at these shops for boats plying on the lakes, and the company is doing a large amount of work in the line of shoes and rudders and heavy forging generally, for which Mr. Jones is well known over the lakes. From a small beginning the company has attained to a most flourishing condition. Mr. Jones was married in Wales. His first wife, however, died in New York. He was afterwards married to a highly respected young lady, who was a daughter of Mr. Griffith Griffiths, Criggau, Lleyn, N. W. She died in Detroit in 1869; the family at that time consisting of two sons and a daughter, who hold honorable and responsible positions in life and society. In 1872 Mr. Jones was married at Utica, N. Y., to his present wife, who is a very estimable lady, and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David and Dorothy Richards, Bardsey Island, ter has been added to the family. Mr. N. W. By this marriage one daughJones and his family are active and prominent members of the Congrega tional Church. Being an enthusiastic Welshman, Mr. Jones has always been distinguished for his readiness to aid in securing the welfare of his countrymen, equally in private, by giving them employment in his own workshop, by aiding them in securing employment elsewhere, and by kindly aid for the relief of those in need and distress, as well as by his liberal support of the religious societies of the church and the national institu |
