Dr. George W. Jones was Imlay City’s first physician, coming to Imlay City in December of 1873. Dr. Jones first office was on the second floor of the N. J. Krusen Drug Store. He was a successful practitioner and often made calls on horseback. He was very active in the life of the new community. In 1873 he was elected the first village president, a position he held many years. He was postmaster for 12 years, and a promoter and founder of the Imlay City Fair Association.
In later years his office was at various locations in the downtown area including 126 Third Street and the Haskin Block on the south side of east Third Street.
