Edward Lloyd Jones

[2] David Jones was founded in Sydney in 1838 and is the world's oldest continuously operating department store still trading under its original name.

He re-entered the family business upon the death of his father in the train disaster at Redfern, New South Wales in 1894.

[3] From 1906 until 1910 Jones and his family lived at Halsbury, 12–14 Albyn Road, Strathfield, a large two-storey Federation style house designed by architects Slatyer and Cosh in 1898.

[4] Jones had come to Sydney from his cattle station at Tarcutta to see his mother before her death at Strathfield, on the Saturday before he died.

He was cremated at Rookwood Cemetery, following a service at Trinity Congregational Church, Strathfield, which was built by his family and designed by his cousin, George Sydney Jones.
