DAVID JONES Mr David Jones, of Ongarue, a well-known King Country identity, died at Taumarunui last Monday. He was aged 77 years.

After working on various contracts in the construction of the main trunk railway line, he finally settled at Ongarue, where he worked in the timber industry. Mr Jones also farmed in the Otangiwai-Ohura district for a few years. He took part in the development of the Waimiha district, where two of his sons took up farming. Mr Jones is survived by a widow and a family of four sons and three daughters.
