He married (2) Mrs. S. M. PATTON September 25, 1866. Notes for David W. LESTER: 12/18/1998 From the notes of Raymond W. Ryan: "David Lester was Jones County's first public school Supt. The Lesters were practical industrious citizens of Jones County, Ga., who devoted their career to the pursuits of planting farming, and through much energy and well directed effort were successful accumulating a satisfactory competence. They rarely chose public life. They were content to remain in private life as good and public-spirited citizens." "He attended school at Mercer University, at Military school at Greenwood, S. C., then returned to Mercer and graduated in 1854 with the highest honors in his literary society and second honor in his class. Some of his classmates were: John H. Seals, Judge George Hillyar, Hon. R. N. Ely and Hon. Jesse Asbury. Lester was a Major in the State Militia, and a First Lieut. in active service. He was Master of Wallace Grange of Patrons of Husbandry, deacon and clerk of the Blountsville Baptist church and Supt. of Fortville Methodist Sunday School. He had been a Justice of Peace, a member of the Board of Education and elected County School Commissioner in 1871. He ran against bitter opposition for the legislature and was elected in 1880 and then resigned his position as County School Supt. David had made a great contribution to Jones County schools at a time of reconstruction when Jones County was so impoverished by the War and roads were almost impassable, and there was so much to be done with so little. We shall remember his hard work under terrific handicaps. While running for office for the legislature he was ambushed by carpetbaggers and shot at several times, almost losing his life."
