"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.
