"Biographical History of Clark &
Jackson Counties, WI," Lewis pub. co., 1891 pg.345 > 346:
DAVID JUSTICE, a prominent merchant of
Greenwood, was born in Monroe County, New York, March 29, 1846, the
son of John Justice, who lost his life in the Union service in the
late war, having been a member of Company D, Twenty-fifth Wisconsin
Volunteer Infantry. The family came to Sparta, Monroe County,
Wisconsin, in 1859, where the father ran a tailor shop and clothing
store. Our subject worked at various things when young, and
afterward came to Merrill, Lincoln County, where he engaged in
contracting and building in the summer, and in scaling logs in the
winter. In 1885 he came to Greenwood, and built a saw-mill for his
brother-in-law, E. E. Crocker, but afterward worked at his present
business for Mr. Crocker for two years, when he bought him out.
Mr. Justice was married April 20, 1873, to Frances, daughter of
Levi Crocker, of Monroe County, this State, and they have three
children: Fred, born February 5, 1875 Ella, July 13, 1883 and
Howard, December 28, 1888. Mr. Justice is a member of the I. O. O.
F., subordinate encampment, and also the Modern Woodmen. He is an
enterprising and public-spirited citizen.
