Description
This road may have been named after either Maria Anne Jones, who came to Edmonton in 1910, or Douglas Bonnell Jones, who arrived here a decade later. English-born Maria Anne Jones (d. 1960) lived in Edmonton for 50 years and, with her husband, ran the James and Jones’ fish Market. She continued to work at the market after her husband’s death in 1925 and did not retire until 1956. Douglas Bonnell Jones was born in Nova Scotia in 1898 and came to Edmonton in 1920, where he attended the University of Alberta. Upon graduating, Jones went to work for the Hayward Lumber Company, where he soon became superintendent. Jones left the company in 1931 and established the Western Canada Subscription Agencies and Western Canada News (also known as the Palace of Sweets).
