General Notes:
Hazel Dell Randolph

BIOGRAPHY:
Grandma Hazel Dell [(Randolph) Connett], was born near Perry, IA. and grew up on a farm. She was the youngest child. She married at age 16, and she and Grandpa John lived with her parents for a number of years and helped farm. They were sharecroppers near Rock Falls, IA for a few years, and later they moved to Mason City, Cerro Gordo Co., IA.

Grandma worked as a maid at the Hanford Hotel, for many years. She made many loyal friends there and they were so good to me whenever I went there to visit her. She worked so hard, and had very enlarged knees due to arthritis which made working almost unbearable for her.

She was modest in her style of dress, but always wore perfume and lipstick, and a girdle, and smelled of powder. She never had a washing machine when I was growing up. She scrubbed clothes on a rub board in the deep kitchen sink that hung on the wall, and sent out the linens and items that needed to be dry cleaned.

Our apartment was small but always very clean and comfy, and grandma was a very good cook and always made me oatmeal for breakfast with half and half on it which I dunked toast in. When I was very young she would braid my long hair and walk me down the alley to the daycare, as my mother had to go to work early. I remember her rocking me in her rocking chair, and I always felt warm and cuddled and she hummed and kissed me on my neck.

Grandma had a sister, Lida, who was married to Roy Halling, and I remember going on 2 trips with them to visit her near Perry, Dallas Co., IA. when I was less than ten years old. I don't think Grandma was able to visit with her brothers and sisters very often.

After grandpa died in 1956, grandma took me to California to live with my mother. I was 15 years old that summer. She went back to Iowa, and I missed her terribly. After awhile she moved into the Park Retirement Hotel. She was retired from working by then.

She was very lonesome for grandpa, and wrote many letters to me and was anxious for any news from us all. She made some good friends in the hotel where she lived over the next few years, but was very sad when her best friend, a Mr. Gunther, passed away.

A short time after her friend died, she became ill with colon cancer, and went to California to her daughter, Verna Lynch's home as she couldn't take care of herself anymore. I went to visit her with my daughter, Tamera, and I knew when I left that I'd never see her alive again. She died in a hospital in southern California and is buried in a cemetery in the city of Bell.

I know she's in Heaven with grampa.

OBITUARY:
October 29, 1948, marked the closing of the life of Mrs. Martha Jane Conger Fritts, who was born in Arkansas on April 17, 1854. In early childhood her family journeyed to Crittenden county, Kentucky. In those days travelling was slow and her father and brother died on the way.

Aunt Jane, as she was familiarly known by her neighbors, united with the Crooked Creek Baptist Church in 1871, which made 77 years of service.

During her active life she was faithful to her church and modest and unassuming in methods of living and worship. He black bonnets that she invariable wore to church were symbols of meekness.

She was married on November 1877, to Phillip Fritts, who died in 1896. To this union were born two children: Mrs. Lillie Paris, of Repton and O.W. Fritts, of Crooked Creek Community, with whom she lived. She is also survived by 5 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.

Mrs. Fritts lived 94 years, 6 months, and 12 days. Then the cloak of life was folded and she went out to meet her Maker."

General Notes:
John Braxton Conger

BIRTH: 14 Oct 1882, Laurel Hill, De Kalb or Putnam Co., TN. CFA I, p. 301

OCCUPATION: Wheelwright, carpenter, construction superintendent

NAME-CONFLICT: John Brackston Conger, CFA I, p. 248

RECOLLECTIONS: John Braxton Conger's son, Douglas wrote:
"John B. [Conger] remembers living in Tennessee, although his family left there when he was six. They lived in a log cabin which did not have glass windows and [he] can remember the river boats going up and down with cargo. The reason for going to Texas was because an uncle, Isaac Ross, was there and painted a picture of greener pastures. Isaac Ross had a brother-n-law there before him and he went for the same reason. This change of location took place in 1888. Wiley landed there with 50 cents in his pocket.

"In 1907, John B. and wife, Estella, went to New Mexico. The reason for going was because the state opened up for homestead. They took out a homestead and proved up on it. The first year corn did well; the second year the corn was about two feet high and received about a foot of snow -- that was all for the corn. Estella held down the homestead while John worked as a carpenter in Tucumcari and came home for weekends. The population of Tucumcari was approximately 3,000 with six or seven grocery stores and twenty-eight saloons. There was quite a lot of shooting, as there was a big boom due to the homestead influx.

"The next move was to Oklahoma, which took place in 1908. The next important move was to Merced Falls, California, in 1935, where he worked for Yosemite Sugar Pine Lumber Co.

"Today, at 87 years he has remarkably good health and has never had any serious illness."

One 20 Oct 1969, Douglas [Conger] wrote: "My father is a character. My mother died Jan. 5th, 1969 and father keeps his own house, does his cooking and washing and rides his three-wheel bicycle all over town to do his shopping and visiting. He has excellent health and will live to a hundred if he does not get rear-ended on the bicycle."

John Braxton Conger's formula for longevity: "Just keep on breathin'."

Dixie Lamar Conger

OCCUPATION: Vice President of American National Bank and Trust Company of Chattanooga, TN. CFA I, p. 36a

RESIDENCES: 1201 N. Joiner Road; Chattanooga, TN 37421

BIOGRAPHY: Excerpts from "The Chattanooga Times," 25 May 1965
Dixie Lamar Conger was born in the true Southern tradition. Before the days of hospital births, he was born in the same room, in the same house, as his father and his grandfather. His grandfather and his father were both born in that room and died in it. Dixie was born Jan. 25, 1910. His grandfather, Sion M. Conger, was born on the same day, a hundred years earlier. [Note: The information about place of birth of the father and grandfather and about grandfather and grandson being born on the same date, doesn't agree with information supplied for these two gentleman in the CFAs. REH]

Dixie's father was a farmer and banker, president of the bank of Fayetteville. He had one of the first automobiles in the town and he drove it regularly to work. Although Dixie had farm chores to do, he rode into town every Saturday with his father to see movies and enjoy the social life of the town. One day, with a dime store cap pistol he held up the bank, demanding a nickel from every employee. His father took a dim view of the prank and sent him home, still wearing his cowboy suit.

Dixie attended a big three room public school, which was built of limestone donated from a quarry on his father's farm. It was one of the first schools to offer free transportation to students. A colored man driving two mules hitched to a wagon picked up the children every day.

Later, Dixie went to Lincoln County High where he became class orator and was graduated in 1928. He then enrolled in the University of Tennessee but in 1931, during the Depression, he was forced to drop out for lack of money. He later finished his fourth year of college in the evening school of New York University. At UT he was a member of Phi Kappa Sigma social fraternity and Delta Pi, an honorary school of business fraternity.

Although during his high school years his father let him drive the family Overland, which he used to roam all over the county, he still had farm chores to perform and helped build some five miles of stone fencing around the farm.

Because his grandfather had to stand good for some notes of friends, much of the land had to be sold, and only about a thousand acres remains. But the fence, plus two stone barns, built from the farm quarry, "will last for a thousand years," Dixie says. Some of the stones in the barns are 15 inches wide and 17 feet long he recalls.

His memories of the University of Tennessee are highlighted by one fact that as a freshman he "was the smallest boy on campus," weighing only 85 pounds. But the next year he suddenly grew up. He also recalls that he got arrested for soaping streetcar tracks in Knoxville while at UT.

Dixie majored in agriculture at UT, where the late Dr. H.A. Morgan was department head. He later became chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Dixie says his father and Dr. Morgan were good friends, and that the TVA dream was hatched on the front porch of his home in Fayetteville.

Dixie had always expected to follow his father into the field of banking and after he left UT he joined a securities firm in Nashville which has since become the First American Bank. Two years later, in 1933, the firm transferred him to its branch in Knoxville. Suddenly, during an outing to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, Dixie became dissatisfied with things and on an impulse went to New York City.

There he walked into the offices of Standard Statistics (later to become Standard and Poor) and got a job immediately. The president turned out to be a man from Fayetteville. Dixie's trip and subsequent hiring was so impulsive he had to come home and get his clothes.

His first job was to analyze the credit of the state of Maine, and he made recommendations which the state adopted. Later he was assigned an account which turned out to be Mary Pickford's. Still later he established the municipal bond department for what is now Chase Manhattan Bank, and a program which is still used as a yardstick for bond sales of small cities and towns.

He wanted to come home and when, in 1939, he heard of an opening here at Volunteer State Life Insurance Co., he applied and was accepted. He stayed there until 1943, when he joined American National Bank and Trust Company. In 1952, he was promoted to his present post of assistant vice president.

A a party in New York City he met Florence [sic] Hoyt of Des Moines, Iowa. She was working as a secretary to the Campfire Girls of America. Her father was an Iowa banker and state treasurer.

He and Eleanor were married about a year and a half later, in the Lincoln Chapel of New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. purely on impulse. Neither of them had been in the church before: they just agreed to meet there to get married. They are members now of St. Martin's Episcopal Church, where Dixie served as a warden last year.

They live on a small farm, which is Dixie's hobby now, plus working around the house and raising peacocks. The expensive birds ($35.00 a pair) tend to roam and Dixie has a little trouble keeping them home.

Dixie is fascinated by his job, which involves the buying and selling of bonds for the bank, for customers and for correspondent banks. He estimated he has bought and sold more than $1 billion in securities since he has been with American, and he makes investments ranging from $25.00 government savings bonds to a million or more for customers. Except for the hometown insurance companies, Dixie probably buys 75 per cent of municipal bonds bought in Chattanooga in a year's time.

General Notes:
Electa Jane Crowell

AKA: Jane

RECOLLECTIONS: Of Electa Jane Crowell Sutfin
My father, Hiram Crowel, was born in New York. His parents died when he was 9 years old. He went to Dearborn county (Ind.) when a young man and married Mary Conger. They lived there until his death.

David Conger, my mother's father, was born in New Jersey. When about 20 years old he went to Ohio, and there married Rebecca Sharp. (She lists the four boys and six girls.) They lived in Ohio for some time, then moved to Indiana, lived there until the children were all grown. The year 1851, I think it was, they moved to Monroe co. Iowa. My grandmother died of typhoid fever in the fall of the same year they got settled in their new home.

My father died when I was about 17 years old, leaving mother to care for and rear eight children. Mother sold her farm in Indiana about two years after father's death and moved to Monroe county, Iowa. She bought a farm about 10 miles from Albia. We travelled overland from Indiana to Iowa, mother's brother driving the team. The household goods were shipped by railroad.

I will now mention some of the incidents that occurred during my girlhood days. I had relatives in Cincinnati, Ohio and in Madison, Indiana whom I visited often, going by steamboat. Consequently I made many trips up and down the Ohio River.

Our parties and amusements were very different those days than now. We had Apple Peelings, or Apple Cuttings, Quiltings, Corn Shuckings and sometimes play parties. Some farmer and wife would invite the girls for all day or the afternoon to quilt, and the boys at night to shuck corn by moonlight. They would have them pulled and thrown in piles to shuck. They would run races and have so much fun. And my! What good things to eat! The tables would be loaded down with the best of everything.

Many a day I would spin my dozen knots of yarn at the big wheel, go out at night, and never feel tired; would get up the next morning and go at it again. Horse back riding was the way young people would go those days. Some ten or twelve couples would go off together, several miles to a camp meeting or the 'Cathedral' on Easter Sunday to see the special services of the Catholics -- always a great crowd on that day. Sleigh riding was another thing we enjoyed very much. There was usually good sleighing most all winter.

General Notes:
David Goble Crowell

An excerpt from the MONROE COUNTY NEWS, [Iowa], dated 23 Oct 1902 from "Out Among the Farmers," states: "D.G. Crowell, an old subscriber, is a carpenter and builder. He has been 32 years engaged in carpentering and bridge building and thinks he has built more bridges than any other man in Monroe county. He has also built some good residences, among them the fine residence of James Neill near the east line of Bluff Creek Township."
(Source: The Conger Family of America, Vol. I, p. 720 - Maxine Crowell Leonard)

BIOGRAPHY:
However, D.G. was most remembered for his "miserly" ways. He bought all household supplies, and never anything that wasn't absolutely necessary. His wife, Molly, hoarded sugar, a spoonful at a time, until she had enough to make a small cake. This she did when he was in the field, for she didn't dare serve him any. His frugal way of living was really for his family, or this would not be mentioned. He sent his youngest son to college to study chemistry, built a home as a wedding present for his second son, and left his homestead to his eldest son, a bachelor, who never did a day's work in his life!

General Notes:
Wilber Fisk Crowell

PARENTS: Hiram S. Crowell and Mary Conger

Problem: Was he born in Manchester, Dearborn Co., IN or Lawrenceburg, Dearborn Co., IN? The Ancestral File lists, Lawrenceburg.

BIOGRAPHY:
Wilber Crowell went to Las Vegas, NM to visit his married sister, Electa Jane Sutfin and while there met Margaret (Maggie) Bowler. The Sutfins owned and operated a hotel which they sold, before moving to Kansas. Wilber remained in New Mexico and worked on the railroad.

He casually mentioned that railroading was hard work, due to coupling the cars by hand with pins. After his death, the man who bought the house found some papers in the attic that proved Wilber had invented the coupling device that was being used by the railroads in the early 1900's. His plans had been stolen and patented by someone else!

Wilber took his family to Iowa, after his mother's death. He farmed the 40 acres he inherited. He also taught music -- except to his own children. After his death the land sold for $100 per acre.
(Source: The Conger Family of America, Vol. I, p. 723 - Maxine Crowell Leonard)

Census: 1880, Las Vegas, NM
At the age of 66, Mary (Conger) Crowell was shown in the Las Vegas, New Mexico census, visiting her daughter, Electa Jane Sutfin, accompanied by her son, Wilber Fish Crowell.
(Source: The Conger Family of America - Maxine Crowell Leonard)

RECOLLECTIONS:
According to Wilber's son, Henry, who was 16 when his parents died, there was never a cross word spoken in front of the children. Henry claims he never saw his mother angry. Wilber apparently loved "Maggie" so much that he lost his mind after her death and died less than a month later from grief.
(Source: The Conger Family of America, Vol. I, p. 723 - Maxine Crowell Leonard)

RECOLLECTIONS:
Mary Eliza Sutfin Koolger speaks of her Uncle Will as being very jolly and a lot of fun. He played a fife in the band and a guitar. Since he lived next door to the church, he was the janitor. He once joked about having a lot of popcorn to eat after removing the decorations from a Christmas tree at the church.

RECOLLECTIONS: Of Mary Eliza Sutfin Koogler as recorded for her granddaughter, Marietta Jane Burtch Caywood, in Kansas City, MO, in 1936 Mother's youngest brother, Will, also played in a band. In fact, the whole family played in the band.

Problem: Where was he born?

RESIDENCES: As of Feb 1911, near Cordell, KS

OBITUARY:
Isaac Conger, son of James and Elizabeth Conger, was born July 26, 1847, at Maryette, Monroe county, Ohio. He departed this life Monday evening, March 28, 1932, at 9:30 o'clock. He was married to Emma Thompson at Bradyville, Page county, Iowa, March 12, 1871, and moved to Jewell county, Kans., in the year of 1872, coming to Rooks county [KS] in 1878, where they purchased and maintained for 54 years a most hospitable home.

To this union were born nine children: James L., Lidia Estella, Russell Addison, Jennie Nevada, William T., Marshall M., Isaac, Cloie Ethel and Vesta Lee. Of these, six are left to mourn his departure, Lidia, Russell and Isaac having preceded him; also his wife preceded him, having passed away, March 17, 1929.

Mr. Conger came west with his young bride 60 years ago, making the journey into this then unsettled country in an ox team and wagon, and two hundred dollars were they possessions. Only those who have had experience in this way can know anything about the courage and fortitude necessary to overcome and succeed as he has.

It is not possible to do justice to this man in written word. Sixty years of social, business and religious contact caused his exemplary life to shine brighter. Generous was he, always ready to help all worthy enterprises, especially generous to the cause of religious enterprises. He was converted to Jesus his Lord, uniting with the M.E. church at Codell, [KS], afterward transfering his membership to Natoma.

He was greatly interested in the welfare of his state, having served as a commissioner, also elected to the legislature at two different times.

He was a great lover of company, and delighted in little folks. His children numbered nine, and there are just ten grand children, also three great grandchildren. There are three brothers and three sisters still living. Sherman and Elias of Ollie, Iowa, Will of Lyons, Nebr., Mella Lemon, Blair, Nebr., Addie Clie, Otego, Kans., and Mrs. Florence Clair, Natoma, Kans.

The funeral service was conducted at the home, Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. F.L. Courter, former pastor gave a very touching address. Mr. and Mrs. Crane sang three beautiful appropriate songs.

The family lot at East Paradise cemetery was the scene of another service conducted by the Masoni lodges of Codell, Natoma and Plainville. A large crowd was present to show their sympathy. The floral offerings were exceptionally fine, leaving no doubt of the high esteem in the minds of all for this beloved neighbor and friend.

BIOGRAPHY: Isaac Conger
Isaac Conger was born at Marietta, Marion County, Ohio [sic, There seems to be some confusion about where he was born. Marietta, is in Washington county, Ohio. REH] on July 26, 1847. His parents, James and Elizabeth, were the parents of eleven children, which included two sets of twins. Isaac had a twin brother, John.

When Isaac was nine years of age, the family decided to go west, and settled on a homestead near Centerville, Appanoose County, Iowa, where he lived until his marriage on March 12, 1871 to Emma Jane Thompson. She was born near Bradyville, Page County, Iowa on February 12, 1850. Her father was killed when Emma was very young, and her mother, Eliza, married Wesley Farrens.

Isaac and Emma ventured farther west, homsteading on the banks of White Rock Creek near Burr Oak, Jewell County, Kansas in 1817. Their trip was made in a covered wagon drawn by two owen, and their possessions were a few pieces of walnut furniture made by Emma's step-father, Wesley Farrens. They also had a dog, pig, and a cow.

Their first home was a dugout where their first son was born. It was not unusual for friendly, but curious, Indians to visit them. Most of their meat was buffalo meat. Isaac would sometimes be away for several days at a time hunting buffalo, leaving his young wife and son alone at the dugout. Pioneers accepted these things as the usual type of occurrences.

In 1878 they sold their claim and migrated to Rooks County, [KS] where they purchased land near a little town known as Old Motor. Here the first home was in a dugout also, until a stone house could be constructed. Later a large frame house was built, and in time the litte stone house became a bunk house for ranch help. In this east Paradise Township home, in the southeastern part of Rooks County, the nine children were reared. Cattle and crops were the order of the times in this part of Kansas, and the size of the ranch increased over the years to indicate prosperity and industry.

Ike, as he was known, served his community as a leader, as a commissioner, and twice as a member of the state legislature. Such successes of early times could seldom happen but for the strong support of a wife and mate such as Emma. She was the hub of the wheel around whom her family and friends gathered for strength and guidance.

The Conger family were members of the Codell Methodist Church, later transferring to the Natoma church when a storm destroyed the Codell church building. They were active members always.

On March 12, 1921, Isaac and Emma celebrated their golden wedding anniversary with many relatives and dear friends coming long distances to congratulate them. Seven of their nine children were with them. The two sons missing from the family circle wree: Russell A. and Isaac Jr., both of whom died as young men.

The Congers, their children and families have taken part in, and seen many beginnings and developments in Rooks County since 1878 when they first came to call this good area "home." Their lives have gone with this growth. Today none of the children are living, and but five of their grandchildren remain to remember Isaac and Emma.

Isaac died March 28, 1932, near Codell, Kansas. His wife, Emma, died May 15, 1929 at home near Codell. Burial was in East Paradise Cemetery.

We lived at Hillsdale, Kansas at the time they lived in Missouri. I was five years old. Mother and my brother, Virgil, and myself went by train. We arrived there late afternoon while grandmother was getting the evening meal ready. My brother, Virgil, and I helped Grandfather churn butter in a barrel churn.

John C. Shafer

OCCUPATION: Teacher, Farmer

RESIDENCES: From 1902, Orange Twp., Ashland Co., OH, per Rita Bone Kopp.
(Source: "Family Research in Monroe County, Ohio," by Catharine Foreaker Fedorchak, Vol. V, p. 163)

BIOGRAPHY: John C. Shafer
John C. Shafer owns and cultivates a good farm of seventy acres in Orange township [Ashland County, OH] and is numbered among the representative agriculturists of the community. He was born April 22, 1866, in Monroe county, Ohio, and is a son of Isaac W. and Pluma (Conger) Shafer. The father also followed the occupation of farming and both he and his wife are still residents of Monroe county.

Spending his boyhood days under the parental roof, John C. Shafer was early trained to the work of the fields and pursued his education in the district schools and the county normal. He engaged in teaching for thirteen years in the country schools, and was quite successful, imparting readily and clearly to others the knowledge he had acquired, and thus contributing to the intellectual progress of the community. Since February 1902, he has resided in Orange township and now has seventy acres of good land which he has brought under a high state of cultivation. He carefully tills his fields according to the modern methods of farming and as a result annually gathers good harvests as a reward for his industry and perseverance.

On the 6th of February 1890, Mr. Shafer was united in marriage to Miss Campie Moose, a daughter of John J. and Sarah (Early) Moose, of Monroe county, Ohio. Her father served his country as a soldier in the Union army in the Civil war and was wounded in the battle of Gettysburg.

Unto Mr. and Mrs. Shafer there were born four children: Bessie, a school teacher; Crystal; Myrtle; and Opal, but the third daughter has passed away.

The parents are well known in Orange township where their genuine worth has won them many friends and gained for them the hospitality of the best homes of the community in which they reside.

Mr. Shafter has been somewhat active in public life. He has never ceased to feel the deepest interest in the cause of education, has served as president of the school board and for two years has been its clerk. In this connection he has done effective work in the interests of education. He also belongs to a teacher's organization and is a member of Mohican Lodge, No. 87, I.O.O.F., at Ashland and of the encampment.

He gives his political allegiance to the democratic party, keeps well informed on the questions and issues of the day and does all in his power to promote the growth and insure the success of democractic principles. He is now serving as a member of the county central committee and was clerk of the county election board in Monroe county. He has likewise frequently been a delegate to the county conventions and his opinions carry weight in the local councils.

His religious faith is indicated in his membership in the Christian church, to which his family also belong. He takes an active and helpful interest in the church work, is serving as one of the deacons and is a worker as well in the Sunday school.

He is justly regarded as an intelligent, progressive citizen, favoring everything that is good and practical and lending helpful aid to many measures which have been of marked benefit in promoting the interests and upbuilding of the county.

OBITUARY:
"We are again called to note the departure from this life one of the pioneer and citizens of this community. Charles Powell has spent nearly a half -century in this community, and was respected by all the people who knew him, and was especially regarded by pioneer families with whom he lived and neighbored in the early days. He was known as an honest, industrious man, whose deep interest in the welfare of his family and neighbors were marked features of the long years of his life.

Charles Powell was born in Carroll County, Missouri, April 7, 1858 and passed peacefully away at his home southeast of Mason City Friday, August 29, 1930, at the age of 72 years, 4 months and 22 days. He was united in marriage to Rebecca Riles [sic] at Litchfield, Neb, January 25,1885 [sic 26]. To this union six children, 4 sons and 2 daughters. Benjamin, Ruth, John, Rose, William and Jesse.

John, Ruth and Benjamin preceeded their father to the better world. Besides his wife and sons, William and Jesse and daughter Rose, he leaves to mourn his death one brother, Pete Powell, of Cox City, Oklahoma, and two grandchildren, and other near relatives and a host of friends.

Mr. Powell came to Nebraska in 1883, settling in Sherman county before the railroad reached there and before the town of Litchfield was established. He was a active participant in the early day affairs of this community, assisting the needy and doing his share as a good citizen, After living 37 years in Sherman county he moved to Custer county in 1920, and where he resided when the final summons came. He leaves the heritage of an honest man and a good citizen to the community and to his family the memory of a kind husband and loving, indulgent father.

The funeral was held from the Methodist church in Litchfield Sunday afternoon, with Rev. H.H. Todd, pastor, in charge, and interment made in the Litchfield cemetery."

BIOGRAPHY:
"The Plattsmouth Journal tells of a narrow escape Charles Powell had from drowning one day last week. He had been to the Nebraska metropolis and imbibed rather freely of their fire water. Upon setting out late in the afternoon for his home on this side of the Missouri river he settled down in his little row boat and was sound asleep. He drifted down stream and was presently seen to fall overboard. Luckily Emma and Minnie Ault saw his predicament and notified their brother Charles Ault and Malon Richardson. These men started down the river and reached Powell just in time. He was clinging to the side of his boat and was about all in when the men reached him. Powell was in the icy water for nearly an hour."

RECOLLECTIONS:
In 1913, Isaac Peter Powell and his family migrated to Haxtun, CO by wagon train. He was a farmer and involved in road construction and general labor.

A family story is told of how farming, without proper equipment and irrigation, was very difficult on the arid plains of eastern Colorado. Isaac traded his homestead for a pair of mules so he could get work to make a living to feed his family.

The 1920 census listed them living on Grant Street in Haxtun, CO.

Later, Isaac obtained road construction work at Lodgepole, Nebraska and the family lived there until 1925. Next, they moved to Ovid, Colorado. Ike, as he was called, and his son's Orson and Gail were employed to do excavation and construction work at the Great Western Sugar Factory, Sugar Hotel and the 1929 project to build a new High School in Ovid. His daughter, Dora Mabel, was one of the first thirteen to graduate frm the new High School in 1930.

David Jarred, Ike's father-in-law, was a carpenter in the Ovid area.

The family moved to Denver, CO in 1933.

Ike and Violet's sons, Orson, Gail and Fred enlisted in the U.S. Navy during World War II. They served on various ships in the Pacific. Fred was killed aboard the USN Destroyer Twiggs, LS #159 DD, when the ship was hit by sucicide planes while at Okinawa on 16 Jun 1945. Gail wrote to his parents about learning that Fred's ship had been hit over his own ship's radio.

Isaac and Violet bought a piece of land at 2560 West 67th Ave., in Westminister, Adams Co., CO after the war and had a small four room house built. They celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary on 4 Jul 1958 with a family picnic at Berkley Park in Denver, CO.

Isaac Powell died on 29 Sep 1960 and he was buried on Saturday, 1 Oct 1960. After his death the family home was sold and Violet went to live with her widowed daughter, Dora Miller. In 1966 she moved to 29 E. Ratcliff, Englewood, CO.

On 14 Mar 1967, while in the yard preparing the flower beds for planting Violet was invited by a neighbor to have lunch. She told the neighbor she would take some yard rubbish to the alley and would be right back. When she did not appear after several minutes the neighbor went to the alley and found her dead of a massive heart attack. She was buried on 18 Mar 1967. Both Isaac and Violet are buried at the Highland Memorial Gardens, Northglen, Adams Co., CO.

RECOLLECTIONS: Grandfather Was Active Organizing Methodist Churches Mrs. E.A. Boden, address Cincinnati, [IA], puts a lot of information into this
short letter about early day events in Caldwell township, [Appanoose Co., IA]. She says:

My father, William F. Marshall, came to Iowa in 1850 from Ohio. His wife's name was Mary Conger who came in 1846 with her parents, Enos and Jane Strair Conger. The Conger homestead was north of where Exline, [IA] now stands. Mother lived there until she was 17, having been seven years old when they came. At 17 she married William F. Marshall, being married by Rev. James Marshall, his father.

William F. Marshall was the head carpenter to build the Benonia Conger barn, the biggest barn in Appanoose county. They had just got it finished when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground.

Grandfather Rev. James Marshall's wife's name, Mary Wiggins, came from Ohio and organized the M.E. church at the Beard school house when the school house was a log building. He was the first preacher and superintendent of the Sabbath school.

Beard school house was named for Elisha Beard.

Grandfather Marshall organized the church at Zoar and was the first preacher. Their superintendent was one of the two old men who prayed for a preacher to be sent to them and said that he was a direct answer to their prayer. The assistant was the other man.

Grandfather was the first blacksmith in Caldwell township. His shop was located 1 1/2 mile north of the Missouri line, 3/4 [appeared as 3-4 in the original article] mile east of the Pleasant township line.

The M.E. Class was moved to Exline about 54 or 55 years ago.

T.B. Maring was the first postmaster in Caldwell township. The post office was located 1/4 mile east of the north and south road south of Exline. Exline was not there, and on the south side of road going east. (Evidently it was later moved farther north.) The P.O. was named Caldwell. Caldwell township was named for Michael Caldwell.

The Fisher mill was destroyed when Shoal creek was the highest it ever was. The mill was located 1/2 mile west from grandfather's shop.

I was born and lived until I was 17 years old, 1/4 mile west of this mill in Pleasant township.

We should remember we owe every blessing to our Heavenly Father and those pioneers.

BIOGRAPHY: Charles S. Conger
Charles S. Conger is a worthy representative of one of the earliest pioneer families of Appanoose county, [Iowa] and is well known in this section, where he was born. His popularity is due to definite attainment in agricultural pursuits and in the field of public life and his success and promience have rewarded an active, useful and honorable business career filled with hard work and perserving labor.

He was born on the farm which he now operates and which he calls the "Hillside Stock Farm, August 8, 1862, and is the son of Elias Conger, a native of Ohio.

The grandfather of this review, Enos Conger found the family in Iowa, moving to this state in the early period of its pioneer development and making a definite location in Appanoose county when the father of our subject was still a child. About the year 1844 he preempted land in this section of the state, upon the present site of the town of Exline, [IA], which is now a thriving and prosperous village.

Enos Conger later left his original tract and located upon the farm now owned by his grandson, this property having therefore been in possession of the family for three generations. The grandfather (Enos) owned two hundred acres which was all raw land when it came into his possession. He broke the soil and made substantial improvements and in the work of development was aided by his son, Elias, who was reared upon the farm and who after the death of his father continued its operation.

At the outbreak of the Civil War Elias enlisted in the 18th Iowa Volunteer Cavalry and served three years and six months in the Federal Army. He received his honorable discharge and returned home, where he remained a short time, later going to the Pacific coast. His wife, Miss Jane Ireland, was also a representative of a well known pioneer family. She died in 1868 and afterward Elias Conger went to Washington, where he engaged in the timber business, and later removed to Texas.

Charles S. "Seigel" Conger remained at home until after the death of his mother, when he was bound out (age 6) to a Mr. Tibler, a farmer of Putnam county, Missouri, from whom he received kind treatment and where he found a good home, and a quiet but strong affection sprang up between master and employee. After serving his time Mr. Conger remained on the farm which he operated, carrying forward the work of improvement and caring for Mr. Tibler in his old age. He thus grew familiar with the details of practical farming.

Later he purchased the farm and operated it for a number of years, disposing of it in 1886. He left Missouri and returned to Appanoose county, where he purchased 80 acres of the old homestead, which he began to farm and further improve. He is now the owner of 240 acres, all fenced, drained and developed, and most of which is under cultivation. He first erected a fine residence and later a good barn. He has excellent outbuildings and has a number of acres of orchard. He has made a speciality of raising and feeding stock and sometimes ships his animals direct to the markets. A man of quiet, steady industry, sound judgement and consertive business methods, he has advanced step by step from poverty to wealth and from humble position to one of prominence, being ranked today among the men who establish and promote agricultural standards in this part of the state.

Mr. Conger married in Putnam county, Missouri, December 15, 1884 [sic 21 Dec 1884;, Miss Betty Speak and they became the parents of six sons, of whom Roy N. met death by accident in 1911, when he was 25 years of age. Those who survive are: Finis T., Ira I., Benoni, Lowell E. and John L.

Mr. Conger gives his political allegiance to the Republican party and has always been a force in community affairs although he has never desired political preferment. In 1910, however, he was elected township trustee of Pleasant township and served as a delegate to numerous county conventions. For years he has been identified with educational work.

RECOLLECTIONS: L. Keith Conger, son of Charles Marion Conger, of Cincinnati, IA wrote to Maxine Leonard on 20 Nov 1973.

I have a picture of my grandpa, Enos [Conger] and his wife. I have a cane handed down, that Enos made. I have visited his grave many times. He lies in a little cemetery south of Cincinnati, [IA].

My father, Charles M., was born in a log cabin east of Cincinnati in 1887. He is still living. When he was a boy his dad used to pack up the family in a covered wagon and go to the Indian Territory out in Oklahoma. They made several such trips and would work in the hay fields of the cattle ranches nearby. What adventures he and his three brothers, Jesse, Pearl and Frank would have.

They hunted and fished with the Indian boys, rode ponies, swam and 'rassled Indian style. All this was passed on to my brother and myself on long winter evenings as we watched the flickering flames of fire.

My dad would also play the harmonica for us and could play the organ too. His favorite tune was, "The Oklahoma Sunset Waltz." I will never forget it if I live to be thousand years old.

I own and live on a 200 acre farm south of Exline, [IA]. This farm has been in the family (both sides of the house) for almost 100 years. Eighty acres of it was purchased from an heir to the Jospeh Leonard (who married Margaret Conger) estate.

We are members of the Exline Christian Church which was established in a hayloft in a barn on the John Conger farm in 1852. John was brother to Enos and used the bard as an underground railway station for the slaves in pre-civil war days.

I have always been proud of and claimed a relationship to all Congers, and am so pleased to have this excellent book to verify it.

General Notes:
Margaret Emmaline Conger

PARENTS: David Atkinson Conger and Catherine Lippincott

BIOGRAPHY:
George Guilinger, the husband of Margaret E. Guilinger, spent the last few years of his life in a wheelchair and died at age 45. George and Margaret had a total of 10 children but only 5 (3 boys and 2 girls) were alive in 1907 at the time of George's death.

Margaret took in washing to support her family and the two older boys raised a large garden. After the death of George's parents in 1908/1909 Margaret inherited their home near Reno, OH which she expanded to handle a larger family. Margaret saw to it that four of her five children received a High School education, highly unusual for the times and her circumstances. One daughter obtained an Ohio Teaching Certificate and taught school for several years. One son, the father of Robert Guilinger, took a 2 year business course at the Marietta Commercial College. Another son joined the U.S. Navy in 1918 and later, using his World War I GI Bill, he obtained an LLB degree from Ohio Northern Law School in Ada, Oh.

Margaret and three children, Elizabeth, Roxie and Ralph, moved to Youngstown, Mahoning Co., OH in 1918. There Margaret rented a large home that she converted to a rooming house. She supported herself by taking in roomers until her death in 1927. Although Robert Guilinger, the author of this piece, never knew his grandmother, since she died before he was born, he considers her a truly remarkable woman.

At the church, which was filled to overflowing with sympathizing friends and relatives, the full Episcopal burial service was impressively read and an appropriate address delivered by the Rev. W.W. Wells of Valentine, who had been summoned especially for this purpose. There were beautiful floral tributes placed upon the casket. After the ceremonies at the church the remains were taken to the depot, thence by rail to Tilden where they were finally laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery of that place with the solemn funeral committal service of the Masonic fraternity, whose members in conformity with their ancient custom accompanied the remains faithfully to their last resting place. These services were also conducted by Rev. Wells as Master, at the request of the local Master of Pythagoras Lodge.

A delicious lunch was then served in their hall by Tilden Chapter O.E.S. for the visiting members, friends and relatives, thereby displaying in a touching and much appreciated manner their sympathy and fraternal spirit. Much praise is also due to the local Masons for the efficient manner in which they met and cared for the funeral party.

Mr. Conger was born in Sidney, Champaign county, Illinois, Dec. 6th, (sic) 1866, moved with his parents to Missouri at the age of one year, living there five years. He then returned to his birthplace where he resided until 10 years of age, moving thence to Nebraska in 1882 and living there until the date of of his death.

The deceased is survived by seven brothers and five sisters, a wife and six daughters, of whom the wife, daughters and following brothers and sisters were present: Mrs. Dave Miller of Stanton; Mrs. W.R. Goll of Ft. Calhoun, Nebr.; Mrs. Levi Acton of Wakefield, Nebr.; Messrs. Alex Conger of Ewing; Wm. Conger, Clearwater and John Conger, Pilger. Those not able to be present were: Mesdames Geo. Ward of Deer Lodge, Mont.; John Foy, Pilger; and Messrs. Sam Conger, Mead, Kansas; Elias Conger, Neligh; C.P. Conger, So., Dak.; and Anderson Conger, Neligh.

Mr. Conger, in his long residence in Ewing is spoken of as a successfull business man of fine ability and attainments. He was a kind and loving father and one of his chief regrets was to leave them fatherless and bereft. He was a member of Trinity Episcopal church at Ewing, [NE], and died in full communion with the same, having received the last sacrament just before his death. He went to Rochester a little over a year ago for an operation at the hands of the Mayo Bros., from which he never fully recovered.

During his last illness all that money, care and loving attention could do for his recovery were lavished upon him, but all to none effect, even when accompanied by the most astonishing patience, perseverance and will power on his part during all his weeks of intense suffering, when with "Thy will be done," he commend his soul to God who gave it. For three weeks before his death his sister, Mrs. Miller, acted as his special nurse, faithfully remaining at his bedside with affectionate attention until death came to relieve him of his sufferings.

Surely he fought a good fight, kept the faith, and henceforth there is a crown of righteousness laid up for him. May he rest in peace and may light perpetual shine upon him.

AKA: H.W. Conger

RESIDENCES: He had a nice farm home several miles north east of Newark, Ohio. There were several producing oil wells on the farm.
(Source: "Conger History 1664-1941," by Ethel Conger Heagler - furnished by Robert Guilinger)

BIOGRAPHY: H.W. Conger
On the 1st of January, 1908, H.W. Conger came into possession, through purchase, of his present fine farm property, consisting of two hundred and fifty acres, located in Perry township, Licking county, [IL], and here he gives the greater part of his time and attention to raising fine grades of stock, although he carries on general farming to some extent. Mr. Conger was born in McLean county, Illinois, November 9, 1857, a son of Elias J. and Harriet Marinda (Miller) Conger, both of whom were natives of Licking county, their respective parents removing here from Pennsylvania. Elias J. Conger and Harriet M. Miller were here reared and married and three or four children were added to the household ere they made a removal to McLean county, Illinois. After spending several years in the latter place they returned to Licking county, believing it to be a more healthful climate, as the land in McLean county was very swampy. They then spent the remainder of their lives in Licking county, the father passing away on the 8th of October 1871. He was a stanch (sic) democrat in his political belief but was never active as an office holder. Following the death of the husband and father, the mother afterward married a man by the name of Jonathan Frost, who died six years later. She then became the wife of George Lacey and survived his death for about twelve years, her demise occurring in 1906.

H.W. Conger was a little lad of eight years when his parents removed from McLean county, Illinois, to Licking county, [OH], so that he was practically reared in the latter place. He was but fourteen years old when his father's death occurred and until his mother married again he was the main support of the family. However, following her marriage the son was given his time and he then worked as a farm hand, being thus employed for twelve years. As an indication of this thrift it is said that he was paid a higher wage than any other farm hand in this section of the county. In 1880, when a young man of twenty-three years, he, with several others, purchased what proved to be a worthless tax title on land in Pound county, Kentucky. The land was heavily timbered and after Mr. Conger learned of the invalidity of his title, he immediately set to work to clear a portion of the land of the timber, which he shipped and in this way recovered the full amount of money which he had invested, he being the only one of the investors who recovered their money.

In 1882 Mr. Conger established a home of his own by his marriage to Miss Leora Barcroft, a native of Knox county, Ohio. Following their marriage the young couple began their domestic life upon a farm, which Mr. Conger rented for seven years. He worked earnestly and presistently in the cultivation of his farm, and, carefully saving his earnings, was eventually enabled to purchase sixty-five acres of land, adjoining the tract which he now owns. To this place he removed and their spent his time in its cultivation during the succeeding four years, subsequent to which time he disposed of this farm and removed to Zanesville, Ohio, where he lived for eighteen months, his time being given to the conduct of a wholesale meat establishment. On the expiration of that period he disposed of his business there and removed to Newark , [OH] and for four years engaged in buying butcher cattle for the firm of Miller & Howell. He then became one of five men who organized the Howell Provision Company, of which Mr. Conger was elected vice president. For five years he was identified with this firm but on the 1st of January, 1908, severed his connection therewith and purchased his present farm, comprising two hundred and fifty acres located in Perry township. This is a well improved property on which stands a comfortable country residence, while substantial barns and outbuildings furnish ample shelter for grain and stock. Mr. Conger has here given a portion of his time to general farming but his farm is heavily stocked and he expects in the near future to give his time exclusively to raising and shipping stock, in which he is already meeting with excellent success. His long experience in buying stock has given him excellent knowledge of the worth of animals, so that he will undoubtedly meet with good results in this field of activity.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Conger has been blessed with five children, so whom three survive, these being Earl J., Lena Blanche and Helen M., all still under the parental roof. Mr. Conger is a liberal democrat in his political views, not feeling bound by party ties. He is largely a self-made man, for he started out upon his own resources at an early age and in the years that have come and gone, through the inherent force of his nature and the utilization of opportunities, has passed from a humble position to one of prominence in agricultural and stockraising circles of Licking county. He is well known in Licking county and other sections and none with whom he has been brought in contact, either in a business or social capacity, have found him other than what he represents himself to be -- a straightforward, honorable citizen.

RESEARCHER:
Ethel (Conger) Heagler, born on 12 Jan 1881 in either Bloomington, McLean county, IL or Towanda, McLean county, IL was another Conger researcher who published her work.

She wrote to Maxine Leonard on 18 May 1962 and told of attending a DAR National Conference in Washington, DC the previous year, at the age of 80. She wrote, "I went to the Rare Books Department of the Congressional Library to see the seven volumes of typed bound books left by Charles Conger of Minnesota. You have to almost swear your life away to get in. A guard sits at the door with a rope across the opening. I told him what I wanted and he said, 'What references do you have?' I said, 'I am here as a delegate to the DAR Conference,' and I gave him my membership card. That didn't mean anything. 'What else do you have?' I showed him my cards of the Pen Women of America, Farm Bureau and Home Bureau of McLean Co., Illinois. He then asked to see all my cards, and what did he take, but the credit card from the Chicago Motor Club! A young girl stood by me and said she had no reference with her, and they would not let her in.

"Then I went in and they brought me the seven books and sat me down in front of he desk and that lady never took her eyes off of me all afternoon."

Mrs. Heagler published her line in 1941, through the help of Charles Leslie Conger who had established her lineage.

General Notes:
Orral Barnhouse

Mrs. Orral (Barnhouse) Laughlin and her brother, Dick, lived on and operated
large sheep ranches in Central Oregon. Their father and mother went into the,
then, new country of Oregon in 1872, two years after their marriage in Illinois
and a stay of one year in Missouri.

The Laughlin Ranch, high in a valley of the John Day River, contained thousands
of sheep and more than five thousand acres. It was too high for any
cultivation of grain. Their only crop was hay of which many tons are stacked
for the winter feeding of the sheep. In the summer the sheep were taken up
higher on the mountain and into the timber.

Ethel Conger Heagler wrote that a visit to this ranch in 1937 was an experience
never to be forgotten. During the haying season with many men employed on the
job and the daughters at home helping with the cooking and sixteen at every
meal.

Dick lived further down the valley and had fruit and grain on his ranch. Some
of his married children lived on nearby ranches.

General Notes:
John Lincoln Conger

BIRTH: Oct 1860 at Hackneys Mill (near Amity) Washington Co., PA; the date of Oct 1860 is listed in the 1900 census. The 1860 census of Edgar Co., IL was taken in September and John was not listed. The 1880 census of Dodge Co., NE lists a John Conger age 18, which gives a calculated birth date of Abt. 1862. The parents are listed as born in Ireland, which casts doubt on whether this is John Lincoln Conger.
("John Lincoln Conger," 1 Oct 1996, by Mary Jo Khan)

PARENTS-COMMENT: Researcher Mary Jo Khan believes that John Lincoln Conger is the son of Charles Atkinson Conger and Harmony Katherine Erlewine. No proof of this relationship has been found. If his place of birth was Hackneys Mill (near Amity) Washington Co., PA the possiblity of this couple being his parents seems unlikely as they have never been reported as living in that area.

LAND-HONORS: Conger Mesa, Routt Co., CO is shown on 1996 maps as "Conger Mesa." Water maps show the originial 1886 homestead ditch as "John's Ditch."

BIOGRAPHY:
At this time, John Lincoln Conger is a bit of a mystery between his birth at Hackney's Mill, Pa. (Near Amity) Washington Co., Pa., and the autumn of 1881 where we find him at Grand Lake, Grand County, Colorado.

Due to insufficient proof of parental relationship because the 1870 Federal Census has not been found for Charles and Harmony, we shall just have to continue with the circumstantial assumption as presented by others that John Lincoln is the son of Charles A. and Harmony Earleywine Conger from Monroe County, Ohio, who finally settled in Dodge County, Nebraska.

John about 1880 or soon after this date migrated to Grand Lake, Colorado, where he supported himself as a carpenter and building contractor per his wife "Jennie's" memoirs put to paper about 1930. This is supported by the 1885 Colorado Census. Jennie in her memoirs states ... "John built or had a hand in building most of the buildings in early Grand Lake, one of which was my Mother's Fairview Hotel which was located on 115 acres that she bought in 1879 on the west side of the Lake." ..."John worked for my Uncle Chris Young for a short while. My uncle received an injury and stopped doing such hard work and started a freight service between Hot Sulphur Springs and Grand Lake. John organized where Uncle Chris left off." This Hotel was built in the Autumn of 1881 and was the second large structure built in Grand Lake per the History of Grand Lake Pioneers by Mary Cairns. Mary goes on to state ..."THE FAIRVIEW HOUSE. The mining boom of the late seventies and early eighties caused four leading hotels to be built at Grand Lake. The Grand Lake House, The Fairview House, Garrison House (later called The Grandview) and the Grand Central Hotel and Restaurant, also known as "The Nickerson House."

"The Fairview House which stood on the Craig Point (West Side of the Lake) until the summer of 1937 when it was torn down, was built in the autumn by Mrs. Mary J. Young. It had, indeed, one of the fairest views imaginable, looking out across the clear waters of the lake toward the Continental Divide to the Eastward and looking up both the deep forested valleys of the North and East Inlets. The Fairview House was built for Mrs. Young, a widow, by a "house raising. The work was done by her son Chris and several other young men of the village. Mrs. Young had taken up the point of land on which to build her hotel, and an adjoining large tract, as a homestead. The table was always well supplied with trout and game. Mrs. Young was a famous cook, and her house was ever a popular stopping place for local people as well as travelers. "She was a little dancing gypsy" has been said of her. "She could work all day -- cooking, cleaning, putting things to rights -- and then still be so light on her feet that she could dance half of the night without seeming to tire. Mrs. Young was assisted in her management and hostessing duties by her daughter Jennie who had even more energy.

"The Fairview was an immediate success partially due to the fact that Mrs. Young's father, John R. Baker of Summit and Clear Creek County mining fame was constantly heralding her hotel when in Denver concerning legal matters connected with his Baker Mines. He seemed to know everybody between Grand Lake and Denver from his days of service as the first elected sheriff of Grand County and his prospecting days on Kelso and Baker Mountain. He always took a stack of printed flyers for all of the businesses in Grand Lake with him to Denver for distribution.

A story in the Grand Lake Prospector published on November 18, 1882, indicates that the Hotel was expanded. ..."The last of the week Mrs. M. J. Young, of the Fairview House, gave notice of a log raising. At the appointed time, the boys commenced to flock in. They came up from the ranches, they came down from the mines, and they came across from the settlements. They came on foot, they came on horseback, and they came in boats. When about forty had arrived they fell to work - some with skids, some with axes and some with their tongues; these latter were in the majority.

At noon the estimable hostess informed the hungry horde that the fatted venison had been slain, and told them to enter and partake thereof. About this time we came and joined the rabble. And such a dinner - rabbits, venison, trout, grouse, cakes, pies, puddings, and everything to satisfy the greedy soul of man and give him dyspepsia. After dinner those who were able went down and finished the barn, which they accomplished by sundown. Then an excellent supper was served, such a supper as only Mrs. Young and her daughter Miss Jennie can prepare.

After doing ample justice to the supper the boys went home, shined their boots, put themselves inside their bib and tucker, then went in search of the fair ones. These they found and hurried them back to the Fairview House, where jolly John Mitchell was waiting, violin in hand. The folding doors had been thrown open, and the dining and sitting rooms thrown into one. And how Mich did play! Mich always enjoys these gatherings as much as the boys. He likes to see the boys jump fast to catch up with him. The dance lasted until Old Sol put in an appearance, and it is rumored that the dancers were mad because the night was so short."

Per Mary Jane Young's business ledger for the Fairview Hotel, her father and bookkeeper, John R. Baker, paid John Conger, Jules Harmon, Chris Young, Jr., John Pettingill and Michael Flynn $190.00 each for felling and snaking the logs. John was paid an additional $65.00 for his preparational organizing and a trip to Denver for supplies. For the Barn Raising in 1882, and some other outbuildings John received $1004.87.

Carpentry/Contracting was John's main area of endeavor for about five years. He is listed in the 1885 Colorado State Census in Grand Lake as a carpenter and lived about two doors down from the Fairview Hotel with his wife Jennie and their daughter Mary. He did good work apparently as two houses that he built some time later are still in use today as private residences (1996). One on Piney Creek which was about 2,500 square feet and one on the Rifle property which is about 3,000 square feet. The original homestead cabin served for several years as a school house around 1900.

Life was not all work for John because we find in the Grand Lake Prospector that the Grand Lake Dramatic Society was organized on November 18, 1882. .."Last evening a number of Grand Lakers met at the schoolhouse for the purpose of organizing a Dramatic Society. The meeting was called to order by John Barbee, who stated the object of the gathering. The Society was organized by the selection of the following officers:

President, Ed B. Sisty; Stage Manager, John Pettingell
Manager, John Barbee; Prop Man, John Warren; Vice President, Mrs. Garrison;
Prompter, George W. Bailey; Sec.-Treas. Mrs. Ed B. Sisty; Stage Carpenter,
John Conger

John also sang baritone in the Minstrel and Glee Club which gave a performance Dec. 25, 1882, at Ruby Hall in Grand Lake where admission to the Entertainment was 50 cents. Tickets to the supper and dance went for $2.00. Both were available at the door. Jennie sang soprano in the Glee Club which rehearsed twice a week.

John L. Conger and Jennie Young, aka Mary Lucinda Jane Young, were married at the Fairview Hotel Aug. 15, 1883, and their first child, Mary Ethlyn was born June 10, 1884, at the Fairview.

Jennie continues ..."John had spent a little time working at various things. Before I married him he was a cowhand, spent time on the railroad and a summer tramping the hills of Wyoming with a relative of his father who was successful in mining. There he met two other young fellows, Chuck Hadley and Tom Elliott. The three of them left Wyoming and went over to Clear Creek to try their hand. They were not successful, but they did get a job with Sam Monniger running a sluice box so that they didn't starve. Working for Monniger sufficed to crystallize all of their thinking about their life's direction, and it wasn't going to be mining. My grandfather used to find John's distaste for and Before I married him he was a cowhand, spent time on the railroad and a summer tramping the hills of Wyoming with a relative of his father who was successful in mining.

Working for Monniger sufficed to crystallize all of their thinking about their life's direction, and it wasn't going to be mining. My grandfather used to find John's distaste for and impatience with mining to be amusing. John wouldn't go when Charles Royer needed help on one of my Granddad's claims. I think that he was a little bit sorry he hadn't gone when it came in big. However, John had made and saved a little money in Grand Lake in carpentry but saw contracting as only a means to a quick end. He wanted his own land, which I guess is every man's dream. He thought of all his adventures that running cattle was the easiest and wanted to try his hand."

"In September John fell off the roof of the two-story building he had a contract to build. He was fortunate in that he landed in the wood chips pile which sufficed to cushion the fall. Nevertheless, he was layed up most of the winter with a half-broken leg, back and neck that just wouldn't work quite right. He did get all right and had no permanent ill effects from the mishaps. However, he was through with carpentry as a means of making a living.

Because of John's shaky condition, I continued to help Mother out at the Fairview when her help couldn't come and John did bookwork for my grandfather relative to the hotel and the mines. We rented out our little house and stayed at the hotel with mother. My grandfather would very patiently work over John's muscles every day, sink him in a tub of hot water and then stretch his muscles to the maximum. This continued all winter. With Granddad and god's help he did heal satisfactorily and had no permanent ill effects from the ordeal."

In November 1884 my Uncle Xavier from Indiana came for a visit. He'd served in the Union Army with Judge Wescott who was my grandfather's long-time friend from his early days at Hot Sulphur Springs, Georgetown and Central City. Wescott now lived at Grand Lake and at my mother's hotel in the winter. Between the three of them, John had plenty of good and some not so good advice about how to start a cattle operation.

George Ringland Conger

OCCUPATION: medical doctor

HOBBIES: Liked to fish and pitch horseshoes

BIOGRAPHY: From "History of Washington County," submitted by George Ringland
Conger, b. 1935.

The man who devotes his life to the alleviation of human suffering is pursuing
a calling which in importance and beneficial results is second to no other, for
if true to his calling and earnest in his efforts, he is indeed a public
benefactor. Dr. George Ringland Conger early realized that to those who attain
determinate results in the medical profession there must be given not only
technical skill but also a broad human sympathy which must become the actuating
motive for helpfulness. So he has dignified and honored his profession by his
able and self-abnegating services in which, through year of close application,
he has attained notable distinction and unqualified success.

Dr. Conger was born near Amity, Washington county, [PA] on the 8th of June
1865, and is the son of Henry and Elizabeth (Ringland) Conger. The father was
born near Lindley's Mills, spent practically his entire life in this county and
died near Hackney Station, March 20, 1912. He was a farmer and owned the land
on which was at one time located the oldest Indian settlement west of the
Alleghany mountains. he was the son of David and Mary (Bell) Conger, the
former of whom was a lifelong resident of Washington county, a farmer and
member of the Presbyterian church.

His father, also named David, was a native of Scotland [sic, not true], who, on
coming to this country settled in Washington county, where he devoted himself
to agricultural pursuits. Elizabeth Ringland was also a native of Washington
county and died there. She was the daughter of James and Sarah (Stockdale)
Ringland, the former of whom, a native of Ireland, became a successful farmer
of this county. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and a man of strong
character.

George R. Conger secured his elementary education in the public schools and in
Lone Pine Academy, of which he was a graduate. Having determined to devote his
life to the medical profession, he then matrriculated in the medical department
of the University of Pittsburgh, where he was graduated in 1892, with the
degree of Doctor of Medicine. He immediately came to Taylorstown and engaged
in the practice of his profession, to which he has devoted himself since.

A physician of rare attainments, broard general culture and perfected skill, it
has falled to his lot to bring alleviation of suffering and restoration of
health to countless afflicted ones in his community. This has been his
professional contribution and has naturally constitued the larger part of his
labors, but it has not by any means measured the whole sum of his activities.
As a valiant champion of all lines of civic and social progress and betterment
he is entitled to the respect of the community. His cheerful presence, his
kindly manner, his utter freedom from every form of affectation, have endeared
him personally in an unusually intimate relation to one of the largest circles
of devoted and loyal patients and friends ever possessed by a physician in this
locality.

Fraternally, Dr. Conger belongs to Claysvill Lodge, No. 447, Free and Accepted
Masons, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias. He
has been deeply interested in the educational welfare of his community and
served for sixteen years as a member of the board of school directors in Blaine
Township. He is a member and elder in the Christian church at Taylorstown.

Dr. and Mrs. Conger are the parents of two children, namely: George Ringland
Conger, Jr., who was born August 14, 1911 and is a student in the Taylorstown
High School; and Sarah Frances Conger, who was born January 26, 1916, and is
attending the public schools.

BIOGRAPHY:
David Allison Conger lived on the old home place at Dunns Station, PA.

I wish all the many descendants of David and Sarah could see this place. The road curves around the yard and runs a few rods down into an old-fashioned picturesque covered bridge across the winding stream and into the little village of Conger Station, named for this couple, and which is no longer a town since the coming of the paved roads and automobiles. If David and Sarah could come back to the old home the hills and stream might look natural after 150 years, but the fine Pennsylvania road system would be beyond belief.

RESIDENCES: Lindley's Mills, Washington Co., PA

QUESTION: Where was Lindley's Mills, (Lindly's Mills) PA Located? Demas Lindley, with his family came in 1773 [to Washington Co., PA], and with him twenty other families, all from New Jersey, nearly all from the county of Morris, which had been his home before this migration. The families settled at different points along Ten-Mile Creek.

Demas Lindley located upon four hundred acres of land situated on the middle fork of Ten-Mile. This property was warranted to him, Feb. 5, 1785, receiving the title of "Mill Place," it's location being very near the present village of Prosperity. (Prosperity, PA was platted out in 1848, by Robert Wallace, page 845.)

Mr. Lindley became owner of another tract of land called, "Headquarters," warranted to him on 18 Apr 1796, containing 368 acres.

A fort was early established upon the property of Mr. Lindley, called Lindley's Fort, and was the rendezvous for the residents of the county.

Mr. Lindley built a grist and merchant mill on his property soon after his settlement here, the mills were known as "Lindley's Mills."

Demas Lindley died in 1818.

General Notes:
Emma Gertrude Conger

PARENTS: John Calvin Conger and Joannah Milliken

Problem: A birth date of 26 Nov in an unspecified year has been suggested by David Dodd. This doesn't agree with the date of birth of 27 Sep 1870 found in her obituary.

BIRTH-CONFLICT: There is much confusion about when Emma G. Conger was born. Emma G. Conger is listed in the 1870 Census of Morris Twp., Washington Co., PA, taken on 11 June 1870. This would make birth dates of either, 27 Sep 1870 or 26 Nov 1870 impossible.

Several other Conger researchers have listed her as being 8 months old at the time of the June 1870 census. It is not know where they found this information. This would make a birth date of 27 Sep 1869, plausible.

Apparently there is a tombstone with the date of birth listed as 1869.

Reading the 1870 PA Census record, Robert Guilinger, feels it clearly reads, age 1/12, thus making her date of birth Abt. May 1870. This date is used here.

Charles Stevens

BIRTH: 1 Nov 1869, near Urich, Henry Co., MO, CFA II, p. 429-429.

OCCUPATION: Farmer

AKA: Charles Stevens in CFA II, p. 431; Charlie Stevens by Tom Stevens

BIOGRAPHY:
In sharp contrast to the travels of his father, William Stevens (1819-1891), and grandfather, John C. Wright (1811-1890), Charlie Stevens did not migrate. Born near Urich, MO, southeast of Kansas City on 1 Nov 1869, he spent his first forty years within a few miles of his birthplace.

The prolonged illness and early death of Melissa Stevens (Charlie's mother) seemed to break up the Stevens family, when coupled with the presence in the home of a new stepmother who seemed singularly hostile to the Stevens boys. There also seems to have been little contact with John Conger Wright and his family near Centerville, IA. Accordingly, Charlie's stories and life were centered around his early days in Henry county.

He married Lillie May Clark on 24 Oct 1894 at Urich, Vernon Co., MO and they began their family there.

Early in their 57 year marriage, Charlie and Lillie bought an 80 acre farm a mile south of Hartwell, MO. Ducks abounded and brought a dollar a piece at the market. Using a single-shot shotgun, Charlie killed ducks to make payments on their new farm.

In early 1918, Charlie rented two boxcars and they loaded their livestock and equipment at Hartwell, MO. With livestock in one car and tools and furniture in the other, they traveled in bitter cold weather to Schell City, about 65 miles south, where they began a new life.

They raised a family of two daughters, Gertrude and Isa, and one son, Glenn, while battling drought, Army worms, and tornadoes. Each spring brought a new burst of optimism to the small family, which spent most of its years about twenty miles northeast of Nevada, MO. Charlie farmed a small acreage with horses. A typical general farmer, he raised hogs, chickens, row crops and small grains, had an orchard and always milked a cow or two. Food filled the table and money seemed not to find a home at Stevens.

Charlie loved to fish and hunt small game. A crack shot, he also enjoyed the squirrels and rabbits he brought to the table. An extremely personable fellow, he enjoyed debates with friends and neighbors, especially about the Bible, which he seemed to know very well. He loved to play Pitch, as did his brothers, and the love of the game carried to his great-grandsons.

Charlie wielded an ax with great authority and could keep a constant stream of chips in the air. A wood chip blinded him in one eye and it was no problem for years. But it became necessary to remove the eye. Glenn Stevens, his son, recalls that he went to Charlie's the day the doctor chose to do the removal. No anesthetic was given. Glenn did not actually see the removal, but the doctor stopped to talk with him on the way out, commenting on the toughness Charlie showed. Two days later, Charlie plowed his corn.

In another instance, Glenn recalled that they found rats in the corn crib. They had to go. So, he and his dad went into the crib with clubs and a shovel. As they shoveled the corn, the rats ran out and were killed. Cold weather caused Charlie to wear an overcoat. One rat ran up under it. Charlie paused, caught the rat in his coat with one hand, squeezed it to death and went on shoveling.

While he rarely went to church, Charlie's favorite song in later years was "Love Lifted Me." He could be heard singing it as he carefully tended his garden. It would be interesting to know how he would react today if he knew that four of his great-grandchildren graduated from Bible college and are in some facet of ministry.

Charlie Stevens died on 30 Dec 1951 at Nevada, Vernon Co., MO and was buried at the Greenlawn Cemetery, Schell City, Vernon Co., MO.

John L. Wright

RESIDENCES: Centerville, IA; Urich area, Henry Co., MO; 1921 Dodge City, Ford Co., KS; Colorado; Gardner Boulevard, San Leandro, CA

BIOGRAPHY:
It is not known just when John L. Wright arrived in the Urich area in Henry County, Missouri, but it was prior to 1880. In 1880 he and his future brother-in-law, James Bollar Gillilan had their picture taken.

Mary A. Gillilan was born in Henry County, Missouri on 7 September 1859, the daughter of James Thomas and Amanda McClung Gillilan, and grew to adulthood in that area. She and John L. Wright, born in Centerville, Iowa 13 Apr 1860, were married in Henry County, [MO] on 21 February 1883. They lived in the Urich area until about the turn of the century when they moved to Dodge City, Kansas.

When the railroad was built near Grand River in the Urich area, the town of Urich was moved to the railroad location. The land for the present town was purchased from J.L. Wright and J.T. McClung who was a double cousin of Mary Gillilan Wright. The first lots were sold in July 1885, part of which was called the Wright Addition. Lots were sold for from $5.00 to $15.00 per lot. Immediately after the sale of the lots, the town began to move to the new location.

In August, R.J. Hurley purchased land for the R.J. Hurley Lumberyard, and Power of Attorney was made for James T. McClung and wife, Elizzie, John L. Wright and wife, Mary, "to bargain sell upon such terms as may seem to him best, all the interest we have in any or all the lots in the Town of Urich in Henry County, Missouri." Dated July 8, 1885. This property was purchased by James T. Gillilan (father of Mary) in 1860 and owned by him until his death in 1877.

R.J. Hurley of Bates County bought several lots in 1885 from John L. and Mary A. Wright for the sum of $585.00.

John and Mary had three children: Lela Ethel, born 26 Jul 1886 at Urich and died 5 Dec 1986, just past her 100th birthday. Omer Gillilan Wright, born 5 Oct 1890 at Urich and died 15 Nov 1964 in Ogden, Utah. Gladys Wynne born 4 July 1892 at Urich, and died 10 September 1972 in San Leandro, California.

John and Mary moved from Urich to Dodge City, Kansas in 1898, where they lived many years before moving to Colorado for sometime, and in the early 1940's they moved to San Leandros, California. This is where John L. and Mary died, although they are buried in Dodge City, Kansas.

Lela Ethel first married George H. Partridge, and in this marriage she had two children: Jewell Delida and John Lowell. Shortly after the birth of these children, she and Mr. Partridge were divorced. She later married Fletcher King Parks, and he adopted her two children. Mr. Parks is buried in the Urich, Missouri Cemetery, and Ethel is buried in Oakland, California.

Omer G. married Ruby Ethel Jones. They had three children: John Vernon, Frances Carol, and Omer Gerald. Omer and Ruby lived many years in Odgen, Utah, and this is where Omer died.

Gladys W. married Leon Barron Young, and their children were: Corenne Hope and Kenton Boyne. Gladys and Leon died in San Leandro, California, and [were] buried in that area.

This family lived for many years on Gardner Boulevard in San Leandro, California, however when I attempted to contact them in 1994, I could find no trace of them in that area. Unfortunately, all contact with them has been lost.

RECOLLECTIONS:
About 1906 the family moved to southern Missouri, later to Kansas, then to Colorado. Because of the serious illness of a young son in 1911, the family returned to Iow and settled on a farm in the Zoar vicinity. After two years, they bought a farm near Cincinnati, [IA] in the Mayflower school district, where most of the children attended the rural school and high school at Cincinnati. All, except three of the children who grew to adulthood, were school teachers.

In our large family, each had plenty to do. We farmed, had our own thrashing macinine - powered by a steam engine, of course, sawed lumber, and oh yes, made sorghum molasses. What a sticky mess! Neighbors sometimes brought cane for us to make into molasses for them. The taffy and popcorn balls were favorite treats for the kids during the autumn and winter.

RECOLLECTIONS: Wild Hogs Were Cause of People Climbing Trees
E.A. [sic J.A.] Wright living on Cincinnati R. 2 [Iowa] has an interesting story to tell of incidents handed down by his parents and grandparents concerning early days. [Note: The first line was in error. It should read, "J.A. Wright for John Albert Wright." REH] He furnishes the following:

I see you have been wanting to hear some stories about some of the earliest settlers in Appanoose county. I will try to give a true story concerning this matter just as I remember it and that which has been handed down to me by my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Wright, and grandparents.

My grandfather John C. Wright's family came here when father was seven years old, in the year of 1847, which has been 86 years ago. My great-grandfather, Jesse McElroy came a few years before but I do not know the date; however, it was long before Centerville, [IA] was begun or heard of.

The first store built in Centerville was a log building west of Wooden's bank and near by where the Lowrey store now stands. It was several years before the town was started and probably several years after that before the newspaper was begun, but I am sure that it was taken by my grandfather at the time, or within a short while after it was first published as the "Citizen."

The early settlers didn't have much money, but they didn't need very much because in that day there were little taxes [t]o pay. My grandfather was a cooper; he could make good oak barrels and sell them for $1.00 each. I don't say he always got a dollar, because money was so scarce, but it he didn't he could trade them for something else he needed.

There were four boys, including my father, who learned to tan deer hides and plait in large cattle whips. Father learned to be a good cattle driver while very young and helped drive ten or twelve yoke of oxen to a 22-in. breaking plow and also helped turn the prairie over not far from where Centerville now stands; they sometimes turned under hazlebrush four or five feet high, but of course they didn't expect to raise much the first year on that kind of breaking. However, by the second year it could be put in good shape.

When Grandfather Wright first came here he settled in what is now known as the Beggs farm, about six miles west of Moulton and about one-half mile west of the south end of the Old Goose Lake where they remained for a period of two or three years, because of having the chills and ague so bad they let that place go back and settled on part of the old farm now owned by Dave Daniels, which is about four miles southeast of Centerville. He lived on that place and owned it until he died.

The Old Goose lake which I previously mentioned was much deeper in their time than it was when I can first remember it; it had a ridge around the edge two or three feet high. No white man ever knew how it got there but some of the earliest settlers thought that it might have been done by the wild hogs.

The early settlers went through many hardships, they had to go to Keokuk to mill, which was a very long trip and was generally accompanied with much grief. Many times on these trips they would be caught in storms, rivers and creeks would be out of banks, which would detain them, and many times teams would run off. These stories which our folks told, sounded funny to us kids.

The Wild Hogs

At first there were signs left everywhere by the Indians, wild game, turkey, geese, ducks, etc. Also the prairie wolf and the wild hog, which was very different from our tame hogs. They were not considered good for food and some of them were the most dangerous things to meet without one had a good gun; they could not be tamed and if penned up for awhile, they wouldn't eat or do any good. Many stories we heard of them chasing people up trees, running dogs, and when a dog saw a herd of them he would run for his master, who had to immediately climb a tree and remain there until the herd had gone.

The ponds, lakes and streams had plenty of fish which were very easy to catch. It was sometimes impossible to get anything to make bread out of, and father said they had to eat hominy and dried venison only, for a while. Some will remember that they didn't have good guns then as now; an old flint-lock rifle or a long barreled rifle, using caps, was used.

I guess I should have mentioned that all our folks came from Ohio. The Wrights came by boat to Keokuk, then in a wagon the balance of the way. Grandfather Daniels' family drove clear through and just happened to take up and build on part of the same claim that our Grandfather Wright had relinquished back a few years before. Then father bought out the Daniels' heirs and we moved there when I was seven years old, where he lived until he sold out in 1900. It can be seen that both of the grandfathers lived on the same farm.

At the present time the folks have all moved away to Oklahoma, Colorado, Arkansas, Missouri and other places except Wm. Stevens of near Sedan, Mrs. Clara McCreary of Centerville, and the writer of this article.

We have a few old relics including Grandfather Wright's old cooper ads, which I suppose is considerably over 100 years old, and also some old papers, receipts, deeds, etc., dating back to the early times.

I used to know, where many of the old roads were, also including the old Mormon ford across the Chariton river, but such things did not concern me then in the least. So I'm not sure that I could locate them now since so many changes have been made.

The old Wright cemetery, which is about three miles southeast of Centerville near the Hawkeye school by the Brannon crossing has been much neglected. All of the Wrights's grandparents are buried there, besides many others of the family, together with lots of old settlers. It has been so neglected that several old graves cannot be located.

But readers, "Will you stop for a moment and think of the future?" What about 86 years from now? But we cannot tell about the future.

I am sure glad to contribute these few lines, hoping it will reach many welcome readers. Also I can hardly wait to read other stories of the earliest settlers in Appanoose county.

Here's hoping the earliest settlers a good time, with none of the grief of the early days. The Iowegain, I'm sure, has served as a history of our county for our people since it was first edited and has been read by each family, also hoping that this article will help with its history, also thanking the editor for this opportunity.

They lived on a far south of Cincinnati, and the children attended the Mayflower rural school. They attended high school in Cincinnati.

Of the seven Wright children, six are still living. They are Ruth Patterson, Bertha Bauman, Mary Correll, Lola Patterson, Boyd Wright and Paul Wright.

Following the dinner, the afternoon was spent visiting, picture taking and reading letters from some who were unable to attend.

COMMENT: Wright-Riggle families hold reunion recently in Exline
The Wright/Riggle reunion was held at the Exline Community Center in Exline, [IA] on Saturday, June 19, [1993]. A basket dinner was shared at noon after John Bauman of Flint, Mich., asked the blessing. Of the descendants of John Albert Wright and Mary Almina Riggle Wright, six of their 11 children are living and were present at the reunion: Ruth Patterson, Lola Patterson, Boyd Wright, Bertha Bauman, Paul Wright and Mary Correll. They grew us in the Mayflower School District south of Cincinnati, [IA] and the majority of them became school teachers.

An acknowledgement was made of those relatives who have passed away since our last reunion two years ago. Special recognition was given to the oldest person attending, Ruth Patterson of the Centerville Care Center, who is 90 years old; the person coming the farthest, Paul Wright from Port Orange, Fla.; and the youngest person, 21-day-old Heidi Gottman of Cincinnati.

[Note: A list of attendees and places of residences appeared here. REH]

When John A. and Mary A. Wright's children were growing up they regularly attended the Methodist Church in Cincinnati, [IA]. Enough descendants chose to experience the worship service in this same church on Sunday morning following the reunion to fill four pews. After the worship service several enjoyed lunch at the Blue Bird in Centerville, where they were privileged to chat with another cousin and her husband who were unable to attend the reunion, Don and Wilma Lister of Centerville.

After an exciting weekend of renewing relationships and starting new ones, the Wright/Riggle family is looking forward to [the] next year's (sic) reunion on June 17, 1995.

RECOLLECTIONS: Harley Conger, son of John Thomas Conger, recalls the following incidents, submitted by his son, Milton Bailey (Pete) Conger.

"When Alfred, Horace, John, Harley and Roy [Conger] were small boys the adventurous men who scouted in the West were the heroes of the day and were revered by these boys. One of these retired scouts was grandfather, John Burtlow, who was the father of [Laura] Viola (Burtlow) [Conger.] He had scouted for the army out of Fort Wallace, Kansas and Fort Laramie, Wyoming and up through Yellowstone Park and in the Dakotas. Grandfather Burtlow would sit with the boys in the afternoon shade and tell wonderful stories of the west and fighting Indians, of swimming dangerous rivers, etc. He could shoot out a squirrel's eye, saying the squirrel was not fit to eat if shot otherwise. He was a deadly shot. Grandfather scouted with Buffalo Bill Cody and also knew Wild Bill Hicock.

"When John T. [Conger] was sparking Viola, before they were married, he was coming home through heavy woods one night. Uncle Owen Bowers waited behind a long to scare John T., as reports had come in of a big cat in the neighborhood. He waited for John T. to come close; then Owen raised up from behind the log and made a terrifying sound like a cat. What Owen didn't know -- but was soon to find out -- was that John T. carried two nice big rocks in his hands! Immediately he threw at that terrible cat (he thought) and hit it directly in the forehead. From the whooping and hollering then ensuing from behind the log he knew that Uncle Owen had tried to play another trick on him. This one back-fired.

"John T. acquired a 160 acre timbered farm 6 miles south of Ottumwa, Iowa. He cut barrel hoops and delivered them to Ottumwa Packing House for $9.00 per thousand. All the family worked at the barrell hoops and they did this work in the kitchen of the house in the winter time on a shaving horse.

"Tom (John T.) and Harley went to Fremon to do some trading; Tom had a good horse except he was a "stump sucker." They met a friend that had a heavier mare and the friend talked Tom into an even trade. Seemed like a fine horse for the first few miles; then it became evident that the mare had 'heaves.' When they reached home Viola said, 'Tom, what happened to your horse?' Upon confessing the trade to her, Viola said, 'Dog-gone it, Tom, you know you can't trade horses without getting took every time. You are too honest to come out ahead of a horse-trader.'

"Times were tough and it seemed the people of substance looked down on tenant farmers (Tom and his boys farmed and did building at the same time). It seemed that they could not get ahead, so Tom began to think about moving west. In 1906, he took a Homestead at Landsman, Colorado (near Burlington) on the South Fork of the Republican River. After the covered wagon trip in 1907 Viola was very homesick and returned to Iowa to visit her people. While in Iowa she became ill with smallposs and was under quarantine.

"Tom wrote: 'Well, Viola, I would like to hear from you, we are well. Write and tell me when you are going to get to go to Delta and make arrangements to come home.

"'Monday and Tuesday we are going to plant a big corn patch, about 20 acres and get us a mill to make molasses. Well, Viola, I attended a meeting today with the beet factory men and signed a $100.00 note for a railroad and factory and agreed to raise 20 acres of beets. You know what a railroad means to us; it means that our land is worth $50.00 per acre today. We will build a good stone house and get a good grow. Won't we enjoy life?

"'Now Uncle Porter (Burtlow), we are building that stone house for Mace. We have the first story built. Porter, everybody is going wild over the railroad. You ought to be here as soon as you can and get in on the ground floor. When they locate the towns there will be a boom. There will be about five towns from St. Francis. All will have to be build. It will take 1,000 hands for the beets. I like this country better every day I stay here.

"'Viola, when you get home let us spend the rest of our days together and be happy. We have had a long and stormy life so let us build and enjoy our remaining days as best we can. I hope when these lines come to hand it will find you all well.' (From Tom to Viola)

"Tom later returned to Iowa for his family, livestock and belongings. The family making the trip consisted of Tom and wife, Viola, children: Alfred, Horace, John, Roy, Harley and Merle. Also, Grandmother, Mahala [E. (Bowers) Conger], and her other son, Aaron Conger. The trip was made in a covered wagon, also one riding horse. The family carried a tent which was pitched at night to sleep in. In Nebraska Grandmother became sick so they pitched camp and nursed her back to health. During this time Tom got a job on construction at some small town. Two weeks later they were able to travel. Without further incident they arrived at the Colorado homestead on October 25, 1907.

"The railroard was never finished. ... no beets were raised until 1956 -- twenty-vie years after Tom [Conger's] death."

RECOLLECTIONS:
Edwin Burn Conger wrote of his father, Edwin David Conger: He was born in Bellville, Ontario and as a very young man went to St. Paul, [MN], I think, to see if he would like to be a druggist, like his cousin there.

From there,with his cousin Eddie, on to New Orleans, New York and Cuba. I understood they played the stock market, and at one time my father told me he made more money in those few years than the rest of his life.

Going back to Ontario, he hit the road again and this time to Alberta where he homesteaded. The farm prospered very well and then he sold it and we moved to Vancouver, B.C. where he purchased a hotel. They did not tell him that with the coming of Prohibition it would not be profitable -- so after a short time he joined the Army.

My brother, Roger, could not take the climate, so we moved back to Alberta -- Phillips, to be exact. After my mother died Dad moved to Mercoal where he lived until his death. As there were five of us all under ten, my sisters and I went to Toronto to live with his sister, and my brothers lived with a cousin in Alberta for a number of years. We all ended up in boarding school in Edmonton. When I was 17 Dad remarried and it was a very happy marriage. I am as fond of my half family as the full.

RECOLLECTIONS:
In Oct 1969, Joyce Conger Robertson wrote the following:

On Jun 1, 1905, in Plains, Montana, by father was born. He was the first-born of my grandparent's five children, and he was named, Judson Weldon Conger.

His early years were spent in Plains, Sidney and for the longest period, in Lewiston, Montana, small towns in which my grandfather worked as a newspaperman. My father likes to say that he was born in the backroom of a newspaper printshop, hinting that this early exposure to the roar of the presses influenced his own choice of work as a grown man. Whether or not early environment was the causative factor, both my father and one of his brothers, Everton, pursued journalistic careers. (My sister and I carried this family passion into a third generation, in a small way, by editing our high school and college newspapers in California.)

Jud, as my father was, and still is called, entered the University of Montana at Missoula as a freshman in 1923. A shortage of funds curtailed his academic pursuits, a fact he still laments, and after a single year at the university, he went to work, first in lead mines in Idaho for an interval, then, as soon as he could land a spot, in a newspaper office.

During that brief academic interlude he met and determined to marry Winnifred Alice Gibson of Livingston, Montana, daughter of a prominent Montana attorney. Although this young woman did eventually become his wife and my mother, Alice had other ideas for her own life which kept her out of matrimony until 1931. She continued her education at the University of Montana and later at the University of Oregon, graduating from the latter with a major in Spanish and a minor in mathematics. She returned to her hometown to teach in the high school, traveled in the summers to Mexico and to Cuba, did additional study, and eventually was wed to the young newspaperman, my dad.

Judson W. Conger was by then a news reporter, ambitious and enthusiastic, on the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. It was in Bozeman, Montana, just 26 miles from my mother's hometown of Livingston, that they began their life together. My life began there too. I was their first child, born in September of 1933, and my sister, Marion (named for my father's mother) was their second and last child, born in May 1936.

I don't know if red hair is a widespread trait among Congers, but among our particular branch it is. As it's probably a rare genetic feature, I mention this. Also, we are proud of it. My father's hair was auburn, and he is freckled and brown-eyed. On of his sisters has gold-red hair and hazel eyes; both my sister and I have reddish hair and blue eyes; and now my sister has two small red-haired daughters of her own.

At some time in my early childhood, possibly around 1937, my father became the editor of the Chronicle. From that time, until the second World War altered our lives, he spent what I'm sure were among the happiest years of his life -- creative, productive, busy and full years. He became deeply and widely acquainted with the life of the community, and the newspaper reflected his awareness and concern. His "JWC" editorials had an appreciat[ive] and responsive readership. Even as a child I saw evidence of widespread respect for his integrity. Had I been a little older during those "editor-years," or a little more precocious, I would recall now specific battles he waged for and in the community, precisely what causes he espoused or decried.

All I remember with clarity is his great vitality and energy during those years, the purposefulness with which he lived. His spirit was bouyant. And despite the fact the he was at his office much or our waking hours and some of our sleeping hours, he always seemed a close and loving "Daddy." When he was with us he was 100% with us, and his humor, his play, his instruction, and his listening ear enriched our childhood immeasurably. He has joked that my mother married him "for my wealth, looks and social position," none of which he has ever had in any noticeable amount. But what he does have, as a person, as a friend, as a husband and father, was then and is now abundantly evident.

In 1942 my father decided that simply saving tin cans and riding his bicycle to work to conserve gasoline was not sufficient effort against our country's enemies. He enlisted in the Army. He went into the Infantry as a buck private at the age of 37. Crazy though it might have appeared, it was clearly a decision of conscience. My mother accepted it as such and went to work as a teacher of Spanish at Montana State College in Bozeman.

Just prior to VE-Day my father, with the rank of Corporal, was honorably discharged from the Army by virtue of having turned 40 years old. He returned from the war in Europe to changes in Bozeman and at the Chronicle. The Chronicle had new owners and, his thoughts already turned in other directions by his service experience, JWC looked around for some new work, a new place.

He found new opportunity on a newspaper in Fresno, California, and the family moved there in 1947. I was just entering high school, my sister the 6th grade. On the Fresno Bee, the only daily paper in that city, my father has been a general assignment reporter on the City Desk, police reporter, reviewer or various civic events and of books. Currently he is Assistant City Editor, a job he says he took chiefly "for the money" it could bring toward his imminent retirement; general reporting remains his favorite kind of newspaper work.

The Conger family has been in the newspaper profession in Missouri, Illinois and Oklahoma for five generations. The family now operates the "Republican-Clipper," in Bethany, MO.

In the middle part of the 19th Century, Lucien W. Conger operated a newspaper in Oneida, Illinois, located a short distance from Galesburg. Lucien and his wife, Elizabeth Brown, became parents of a son Clarence in 1885.

Clarence, who becamed associated with his father in the Oneida newspaper, married Frances Vincent, formerly of New York State, about the year 1880. They became the parents of Erwin Cook Conger who later followed in the path of his father and grandfather as the publisher of a newspaper.

in 1886, Clarence and Frances Conger moved from Oneida to Unionville, MO with their two year old son, Erwin, and began publishing the "Unionville Republican." They became the parents of another son and daughter, Lucien and Bertha.

Erwin became a "printer's devil" in his father's newspaper shop learning the business from top to bottom, or more appropriately from bottom to top. He was educated in the Unionville school system where he became a top-flight brass horn player. For a time Erwin entertained the thought of using his musical talent to join the Ringling Brothers Circus, but eventually decided to stay in the newspaper business.

Erwin married Nett Niday, who grew up on a farm at St. John, MO. They became the parents of a daughter, Dorothy, and two sons, Vincent and Clarence. The family left Unionville in 1916 for Newkirk, Oklahoma where they published the "Newkirk Rep-Journal" for many years. The family then moved to Bethany, [MO] in 1925 when they acquired the "Bethany Clipper" which was consolidated with "The Republican" in 1929.

Vincent joined his father in publishing the "Republican-Clipper" until Erwin's death in 1951. Both served as president of the Northwest Missouri Press Assn, as did Vincent's son, Phillip.

Erwin's son, Clarence, died in the mid-1930's as the result of an accident. His wife, Nett, died in 1945. Dorothy Conger married Ray Weightman, an attorney at Maryville who later became a circuit judge. They became parents of Conger Weightman, now a school principle [sic] in Denver.

Vincent Conger married Bedonna Guyman of Bethany in 1940. They became the parents of Phillip 1i 1945 and Michael Vincent in 1943 [sic, probably should be 1949]. Both sons served as "printer's devils" under Vincent and Phillip later became managing editor of the paper while Michael joined the law profession in Kansas City. Phillip married Katheryn Fay Stroup of Fredericktown, MO and they became the parents of a daughter, Rachel Lynn, in 1973. Michael married Holly Hollaway on 24 Jan 1976.

Frances Mabel (Conger) Mendenhall, my grandmother. The best description of her is she was a "Lady", she always wore dresses and aprons. If she went to town or church, she wore gloves and a hat. She was a very religious person. She belonged to the "Seventh Day Adventist Church", and strictly followed their teachings.

She was an excellent cook and always had homemade donuts for the grandchildren. She had a beautiful yard and fantastic flowers of all kinds. She raised all kinds of berries, Blackberries, Raspberries, Boysenberries, gooseberries, strawberries and grapes. She raised chickens and sold the eggs. I don't know what kind of education she had, but was a very intelligent, loving and understanding. She was an important part of my life even though I only saw her once a year until I was 12 years old.

OBITUARY: Ilda Pearl Mendenhall
Ilda Pearl Mendenhall, second child of Ira Frank and Mollie Rankin Conger, was born Oct. 18, 1889 on a farm southwest of Beloit, Kansas. The family lived in the Beloit area and she attended school at "Round Top," until they moved to Jewell County in 1903. She received the rest of her schooling in county schools mostly in the Ionia area. As a young lady, Pearl worked as a practical nurse under the guidance of Dr. Poppin of Ionia. She cared for the sick in their homes, and assisted in bringing a new generation into the world.

On Dec. 28, 1910, Pearl became the bride of George C. Mendenhall and went to live on a farm just a few miles south of Esbon, Kansas. Two sons were born to this union, and before Pearl and George left this farm two daughters-in-law had been added to the family and three grandsons. They celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary there in Dec. 1960.

Due to the failing health of her mate, they moved to Mankato, Kansas in August of 1963 where they resided until his passing on May 21, 1970. At that time she decided she wanted to be closer to one of the family, so on Oct. 1, 1970, Pearl moved to Sunny Slope Manor at Beloit, Kansas. She lived there until her health began to fail. On Oct. 25, 1979, she moved into the home of her son, Verl and his wife, and remained there until Sept. 14 of this year when she entered Hilltop Lodge so she could have constant care, and be kept as comfortable as possible. She departed this life on Oct. 24, [1983], after a span of 94 years and 6 days.

Pearl was the last surviving member of her generation of the Mendenhalls. She was one of eight children of her own family of which only one brother remains. Those preceding her in death were a baby sister, Bessie, Elva Henningsen, Mabel Mendenhall, Jim, Cliff, and Bill, and a half-brother, Coad Conger, who lived at Moose Jaw, Canada.

She leaves to mourn her passing -- two sons, Floyd and wife, Beulah, of Superior, Nebr., and Verl and wife, Eva, of Beloit, Kansas. Three grandsons, Arnold and wife, Agnes, of Huron, South Dakota; David and wife, Carol, of Sterling, New York; and Arden and wife, Karen, of Logan, New Mexico. Six great grandsons -- Scott and Brian of Huron; David Jr., and Chad of Sterling; Brandon and Nathan of Logan; and one great granddaughter, Heidi Ann of Logan, who arrived after Pearl's 90th birthday. The first girl in three generations of this family. Pearl was so thrilled to be able to hold her and rock her to sleep on several occasions.

Also among the survivors is the remaining brother, Elmer and wife Anna, of Delta, Colo., and two sisters-in-law, Verna of Fairfield, Ia., and Zelma of Kahoka, Mo.; many nieces, nephews, first cousins, friends and old neighbors. All -- made up a part of her life.

Pallbearers were her three grandsons -- Arnold, David and Arden Mendenhall, and three nephews -- Dale and Rex Henningsen, and Bernard Blair. The funeral was held at the Kramer Funeral Home in Mankato with Rev. Appleton presiding. Songs were sung by Newell and Merlin Alexander; burial was in the Esbon Cemetery.

Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea.

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound or foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark.

For though from out our borne of time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
--Alfred Tennyson

BIOGRAPHY: From the "Beacon Journal" of Peninsula, Ohio, 1933
"Shrewd, with a salty wit, and a supreb sense of the ridiculous, Elmer Conger, long time mayor of Peninsula, and faithful correspondent of the Beacon Journal editor, is in this dull age, that rare thing, an individual.

"Conger is a product of rural America, although he has seen Peninsula gradually become the haven of the city gentleman farmer. A lifetime of politics, far from making him stubborn and dull, has served to sharpen his tongue. His conversation actually [warrants] the comment: 'Pithy.' He has been the pride and joy of whole processions of reporters and the envelope bearing his name in the Beacon Journal's reference department, is stuffed with stories about his weather prophecies, his 'store teeth,' and his knowledge of flowers and politics.

"He was the first mayor of Peninsula in 1901, and has served, with a few interruptions, for 28 years in that position until defeated by C.B. Chisholm, my a majority of seven votes, in 1929.

"I got out the whole Conger family, too, but it didn't help, he says with a grin. The whole Conger family is 18 votes strong and no small factor in Peninsula elections.

"Conger was not only mayor but justice of the peace for Boston township and baliff of Judge E.H. Boylan's common pleas court. It was in this last position that he first gained attention in local newspapers. When times were dull, he was a godsend to court reporters, and both Conger and the newspapermen thrived on the arrangement.

"Abruptly retired from politics by the voice of the people, Conger has been designated 'Sage of Peninsula' by copy desk men. Undisturbed by the collapse of his political fortunes, Conger spends his time hunting, raising dogs, identifying flowers, running for title of 'biggest liar in Peninsula,' and building up his reputation for the great come-back.

"He lives on Boston township road, two houses from the residence he was born in, and on a single hill live five different branches of the Conger family. The children run into large numbers, with Elmer contributing six.

"You really can't see the landscape for Conger children and Conger dogs," he remarks dreamily, staring at the 'oracle.'

"The Oracle' is the hill opposite the Conger house. Begun as a simple joke, it has developed into one of those things that bewilder strangers and convulse those who know the secret.

"Conger, who has a taste for classic Greek mythology, once darkly referred to the 'oracle' as the source of his weather prophecies. He finds it very convenient, for he admits 'if the prophecy failed all I had to say was that the blamed Oracle must have been off his feed the day I asked him about it.'

"Conger's letters are like his conversation -- pungent, to the point, witty, with no punches pulled. He is an admirer of the Beacon Journal editorial policy, talks darkly of Woodrow Wilson, has numerous jokes to tell on the 'democrats,' and looks proud when identified as Peninsula's republican committeeman."

(Source: The Conger Family of America, Vol. I, 38a - Maxine Crowell Leonard)

OBITUARY:
Latham H. Conger, 70, member of an historic Akron [OH] family, died Thursday night at his home, 191 Harcourt Drive. He had been ill for many months.

Mr. Conger was the son of the late Col. A.L. Conger, early Akron industrialist, and builder of the famed "Conger Mansion" at 196 Ash Street.

Bron in Akron on E. Mill street, Mr. Conger saw the sleepy village of his boyhood become a roaring industrial metropolis. He played a role in its growth -- and in the growth of the rubber industry.

Mr. Conger finished college at Kenyon where he played fullback on a team that defeated Ohio State in 1899. He went into railroading after college and served several systems, including the New York Central.

In 1910, he returned to Akron to take a position with the Diamond Rubber Co. He later associated with the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. and the B.F. Goodrich Co. in executive positions.

Attracted by opportunities in the booming automobile field, Mr. Conger left the rubber business in 1924 to organize the Overland - Akron Company. He served as its president until retirement.

At various times, Mr. Conger was active in Republician politics. He was a member of Masonic groups, including the Knights Templar. Mr. Conger belonged to the Akron City Club. He served for many years as a vestryman at St. Paul's Church.

General Notes:
Edward Augustin Conger

OCCUPATION-RELATIONSHIP: Federal District Judge, was a friend and neighbor of
President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Dutchess county, NY. (CFA I, p. 40a)

OBITUARY: New York Herald Tribune
Federal District Judge, Edward A. Conger, 81, friend of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and an early supporter of the New Deal, died last night at St. Francis Hospital from the effects of a stroke suffered Sunday while visiting Miss Minnie Conger, his sister. Only a day before, he had attended a family reunion at the home of his son, Edward J. Conger, in Kingston, NY.

As a native of Poughkeepsie, he was educated in schools there, receiving a law degree in 1904 from New York Law School. He practiced law with the late Frank B. Lown until 1908, when he was appointed an Assistant District Attorney under John E. Mack as Dutchess County District Attorney in 1913 and served until 1918, when he was named a City Judge to complete an unfinished term. Afterward, he practiced law with Mr. Mack.

In 1938, President Roosevelt, a Dutchess County neighbor, appointed Mr. Conger to the Federal bench of Manhattan's Southern District, which embraces the counties of the Bronx, New York, Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester. He was president of the Dutchess County Bar Association at the time.

On the bench, Judge Conger presided over many important cases, including one involving a contempt citation against Frank Costello, the underworld figure, Communist subversives, and many anti-trust proceedings. In one of his most publicised cases, Judge Conger ruled against three baseball players who had been suspended for five years by Baseball Commissioner A.B. (Happy) Chandler for jumping to the Mexican League. The three -- Danny Gardella, Giant outfield, and Max Lanier and Fred Martin, pitchers for the Cardinals -- lost an appeal too. Among the important trials at which Judge Conger presided was the bankruptcy case involving the New York, Ontario & Western Railroad, which dragged on for years.

In 1954, he wrote to President Eisenhower, asking for permission to retire, since he was 72 -- two years beyond the normal retirement age. In reply, the President expressed his appreciation of Judge Conger's 'splendid service.'

Judge Conger began to take an interest in politics early in his legal career, and rose to become a power in Dutchess County Democratic circles. In 1937, he ran unsuccessfully for Surrogate.

He also was active in community affairs, having been a member of the board of trustees of St. Francis Hospital and the Barnard Library, a director of the Community Chest, president of the Cardinal Lay Committee for Boy Scouts, a member of the nominations committee of the New York State Bar Association, the Charter Committee of the Ninth Judical District, the Knights of Columbus, the Elks and the Dutchess Golf and Country Club.

Surviving besides his son and sister, are two daughters, Mrs. Catherine Hayes and Mrs. Anne Elizabeth McCluskey, and 20 grandchildren.

"Dad (George) was born the year a storm took over the East -- The Great Blizzard of '88. One of the few adults who really enjoyed the blizzard was a buyer for a New York department store who, 12 days earlier, had taken a chance on purchasing a whole carload of unclaimed snow shovels.

"At age 16 Dad worked for 6 weeks in the R.R. Depot restaurant. He went on to passenger trains with trays of sandwiches and coffee. Once he got carried to Swanton before he could get the cups collected. His mother didn't much care for his job because the older son, Charles, had been killed working for the railroad that very year, so rather than worry her he found other employment.

"He worked on a farm caring for cattle and stable for four winter months in 1902. At age 18 he took over the home farm entirely to stay home and look after his parents, giving up plans to become a jeweler's apprentice.

"Dad was named after his grandfather, at that gentleman's request."

Goodyear became active in business, serving as chairman of the board of directors of Gaylord Container Corporation, director of Paramount Pictures, director of the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and as an executive or director of several other corporations.

Active in the New York National Guard, Goodyear served as a Colonel in World War I and was the personal representative of the United States Secretary of War. Goodyear later rose to the rank of Major General in the New York Guard. During World War II he served in Hawaii as department commander for the American Red Cross. He also made observation tours in Europe and reported to the Secretary of War on conditions in the field and troop morale.

A noted philanthropist, Conger was an organizer of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and served as its first President and a member of the board of trustees. He was a close friend of actress and theater producer Katharine Cornell, also from Buffalo. Upon her death, she bequethed part of her foundation's assets to MoMA. Goodyear was also a director of the Buffalo Academy of Fine Arts, an honorary governor of the New York Hospital, and a donor to Dartmouth College.

A friend of Ernest N. Harmon, Conger also made donations to Norwich University, and NU's Goodyear Hall is named for him.

Goodyear died in Old Westbury, New York on April 24, 1964. He is buried in Buffalo's Forest Lawn Cemetery.

His Old Westbury home, the A. Conger Goodyear House, is on the National Register of Historic Places.

"I was an only child. My parents were divorced in 1923. Vernon Smith Conger never had any other children to my knowledge, although he remarried several times. My mother remarried to William A. Shepard and I have a half brother, Eugene Albertie Shepard born June 18, 1927. My mother is still living. Maybe I will find out if my father is still living and where."

Elijah Hagens Conger

PARENTS: William Jonas Conger and Hicksey Ann Clementine Mitchell

BIRTH-ERROR: Born 1878, not 1877 (CFA II, p. 715)

CONFLICT: Was he born in Dempsey, Clay Co., AL or at Shiloh, Randolph Co., AL? Was the date of death 2 Dec 1950 or 2 Dec 1951? CFA I, lists both.

RESEARCHER: Elijah Hagens Conger, D.D.S. paid to have the records of Charles Leslie Conger, [in the collection of the Library of Congress] microfilmed. He then purchased a reader and with the help of his wife, Carrie, retyped them, making three copies. The project required about three years. The film was donated to the Salt Lake Genealogical Society. After Elijah's death, his copy was given to his sister, Era (Conger) Jones. She loaned it to H. Maxine (Crowell) Leonard for copying.

RESEARCHER: Elijah Hagens and Carrie Iola (Braden) Conger
Elijah Hagens Conger, born on 22 Oct 1878 in either Shiloh, Randolph county, AL or Dempsey, Clay county, AL was another person who was very interested in Conger genealogy and history.

He learned that the papers of Charles Leslie Conger, including the correspondence, was in the Rare Book Division of the Library of Congress. In 1941, while living in Caliente, Nevada he made these records available to the public.

In a letter to Maxine Leonard dated, 4 Mar 1963, Elijah's wife, Carrie, wrote,
"My husband did so much research and received so much information from so many different people. I am quite sure that he received the information from Charles
L. Conger's widow that he had deposited these eight volumes in the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. I know he wrote to the Library and made arrangements to have the eight volumes microfilmed. Cost $32.00. Then he had to buy a reading machine, $75.00, so that we could type them back into book form. As my husband was practicing his profession (dentistry) at this time we could only do this typing in our spare time, it took us three years to complete the assignment. As you can see the spelling is far from correct. That was one thing my husband just couldn't master. He wrote a beautiful hand, though. When we finished typing the films my husband deposited them in the Genealogy Library in Salt Lake City, UT."

In another letter Carrie explained that Charles Leslie Conger's eight volumes were made into four books in re-typing the records, and that there were 990 pages. They made two sets -- the original and one carbon. One set was given to Dan Conger (nephew, Dan Lewis Conger? ) and after Elijah's death the other was given to his sister, Era (Conger) Jones of Overton, Nevada. (Of the 990 pages, much space was wasted by so many indentations. Copies of all correspondence was included also. [Probably a comment my Maxine Leonard. REH])

Era (Conger) Jones later let Maxine (Crowell) Leonard copy the books one at a time.

Elijah Hagens Conger died on 2 Dec 1950 at Las Vegas, Clark county, NV. His wife, Carrie Iola (Braden) Conger, who was born on 19 Apr 1880 in Wildwood, Randolph Co. AL, died on 5 Jun 1966 at Oakland, Alameda Co. CA.

RECOLLECTIONS: Beulah LaVoun (Conger) Frehner, oldest child, wrote the following: This was dictated to me, 1 Mar 1965, at his home, 4300 Evergreen, Las Vegas, Nevada. Papa was 82 years old on the 12th of February 1965. His health is good, he is active, drives his car to Overton and around Las Vegas. He doesn't take long trips anymore. He mows the lawn and last summer painted his house. He and his wife, May, have been married since 1946. They have a dog, Bobo, who Papa says can talk to him.

Papa believes his name is Simeon David Conger, but [he] was known only as "S.D." Conger until 17 years old. At that time he needed to write his name out in full and wrote it as, Samuel David Conger, which was later shortened to Dave. His records in Salt Lake City are, Samuel David.

I asked Papa when he first came to the Valley, he said, "on August 2, 1905." I will try to tell it just like he did.

I had been living in Milford, Utah. Pa and Ma, Era, Agnes and Zeke had moved to the Wiser Ranch and the girls were lonesome, because they had no one to take them down the valley. My folks had been on the ranch two or three months.

I came from Milford to Moapa on the train, then on a buck-board. I can't remember the name of the man who drove it. He was the first person I met from the valley. I left in September and went to Arizona, New Mexico, California and Old Mexico. This was the year 1906, when San Francisco had its great earthquake. Bill Gann and Bert Thomas went along with me and we swam our horses across the Colorado River at Greggs Ferry. Then I came back and went to work for Old Man Gunn. I worked for him about two years, from 1907 to 1909.

In 1910 the first day of January the big flood came down, it washed out the railroad track in the Meadow Valley, leaving the train on an island. It was six months before the train was moved back to Las Vegas. But they took the people off the train the day after the flood.

(Note from Connie (Frehner) Money, Beulah's daughter: At the time of the flood the Arthur Lewis family was living on the Capalapa Ranch between Logandale and Overton in wooden floored tents. Dave went with some other men on horseback to see if the family needed any help. This was the first time he met Maybell Rosalie Lewis, a very lovely, talented girl who used to sing with her two sisters in the Tabernacle Choir. The Lewis family wasn't too happy that Dave was courting their daughter for the next six months. He seemed too wild a young man, racing his horse through town, but Dave married Maybell and they lived on the Pixton Ranch.)

The water from the flood was from one side of the valley to the other. The Wells, Bowman and Gunn homes were all that was in the upper part of Logandale. The water came all the way from Panaca and down the Meadow Valley wash. Some parts of Logandale didn't get water.

In 1902, an Indian named, Swain, that I knew went on a rampage (maybe it was his daddy) and he killed Albert Jones' half-brother. He was tried in St. Thomas and turned over to the Indians to kill. Now it was either the son had to kill his father or the father had to kill his son, I have forgot which. They tied the Indian to his horse, his feet under the horse's belly and his hands around the neck, and sent him towards the reservation. On the way the Indians shot him in the back and buried him at the reservation.

Two years before, Pa was selling fruit trees in the valley. Pa was in St. Thomas and sleeping on one side of a hay stack. On the other side was an Indian who had run away with another Indian's squaw. During the night he was killed by the squaw's buck. He killed him with a wagon horn. A wagon horn was used to hook wagons together, then the teams would be put at the front to pull all the wagons.

The first family who lived in Logandale was Bert Mills. Pa had leased the Wiser ranch and I lived with them, Elijah was still in Parawan, Era, Agnes and Zeke and Ma were there but the rest were still in Alabama. I didn't get married until four and a half years after I first came to the valley. I lived, or we lived, in Overton, but I rode a horse or drove a buggy to Capalapa Ranch where I worked for Dan Livingston. I helped build the three houses, then we moved into one of them. We raised sheep and alfalfa, until Livingston went broke. He owed me $1,200. I went to a lawyer in Las Vegas to collect it, and he did for half. The lawyer's name was Bustead.

There was another flood while we lived on the Capalapa Ranch, but it had more channels to go down. I had to pick the pigs, sheep and chickens out of the water on horseback. That was about 1918, when there was lots of flu. I took you kids and your mother down to Overton in a hayrack. I don't remember where you stayed. The pigs, sheep and chickens were put in an empty house next door to where we lived to keep them alive or from drowning. We raised hay and grain and asparagus. The Lewis family raised cantalopes when they first moved to the ranch.

We moved to the Weber ranch and lived there about three years. That was where Dan was born, May 10th, 1921, and that was where we had smallpox. I had already had the smallpox when we lived in Parowan, so I was able to nurse many people who were sick.

While we were living on the Weber ranch, I bought our place in Kaolin. That was in 1922. I also owned a piece of ground next to Perkins store. Beatrice was born on June 28, 1917 when we lived there. We thought she wouldn't live. Mrs. Lytle was the midwife in those days. I don't know how many of our children were delivered by her.

We also lived in the house that Clarence McDonald had lived in. You kids rode the bus to get to school. Except when you and Dave and Carl Marshall drove to school in a wheeled buggy with one horse. That was when you (Beulah) were in first grade. We lived on the Overton Ranch, just a little way from town. That was where we were living when Whitehead's tractor went through the corner of the house and just missed Elinor's buggy.

When we lived on the Overton Ranch, Harry Hill came to town. He helped me and from then on when he came back each spring he camped somewhere on my ground. Brig Whitmore had a store in Overton when I first went there. I mean the valley. He also was the first Bishop in Overton. His wife was named, Mame Perkins.

I was ordained an Elder by Willard Jones. We were married in St. George on May 10th, 1910 and about two and one-half years later went through the temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. That was the 9th of October, 1912.

I was the first Scout Master in Moapa Valley, and for twelve years. I was a counselor in the M.I.A. Edwin Wells was the president. We had a long way to go in those days. (He remembered something else and forgot to say how far they traveled.)

When we moved from the Weber Ranch to Kaolin I had already built chicken coops and runs and bought 500 chickens from Bert Galloway. I built a cellar to put my incubators in. I could hatch 2500 chickens at a time. I sold baby chicks in Overton, Bunkerville and Misquite. I sold fryers to a meat market in Las Vegas for 15 cents each. I also sold eggs to a cafe in the old Overland building. I went into the egg business with Albert Jones, Clarence Lewis and John Lewis and one other person. I can't remember the person, but I do remember all the dirty eggs that had to be washed.

I was water boss for about 10 years. I didn't have anything but trouble. If the water got turned off at the upper Muddy it took 24 hours for it to get turned back on and down the ditches again. If the Indians turned it off we couldn't do anything about it because there was some kind of agreement with the government.

We were living in Kaolin when Maybell died. When you kids went to school I took Naomi and Charles with me in the "Puddle Jumper" that I drove to tend the water. The kids had Scarlet Fever after Mama died and I would leave water for the ones who were too sick to go to school or go with me and tell them not to get out of bed. I don't think they did much, because the others would tell on them. Maybell and I had ten children. I lived in the valley 28 years altogether.

When the government bought us out I had married Jesse Harrison and we moved to Hurrican[e], Utah. We lived together for five years, then we divorced and I moved back to Overton for a while.

I married May Caldwell in June 21, 1946. Kent was my youngest. He asked May what her name used to be, and she said, "Change the name, not the letter; change for worse, not for better." Kent became most indignant and said, "And what's the matter with Conger?"

We used to have good times on the 4th of July and other holidays. We would have horse races. I remember Joe Perkins had a gray stallion, and John Bunker had a gray mare. John bet Joe his mare could beat his stallion in a race, but Joe's stallion won. John was so sure that his mare would win they set up a race for the 24th of July and bet $5.00, but Joe's stallion won. The mare was fast at running but not long-winded.

We had a cross-lot pulling. I had the best horse, her name was "Gyp." She pulled eleven men on a cross wagon. I won $5.00 off Huntsman. We pulled in a street across from where Bishop Jones lived. We chain-locked both wagons. The horses were on the end of the tongue. She had to pull 10 inches by stretching without raising her feet. We each had ten men on each wagon. I told little Joe Perkins to get on because he didn't weigh much. Gyp pulled eleven against the other ten. The horses were owned by Huntsman, who lived by Windy Jones.

RECOLLECTIONS:
Connie (Frehner) Money adds that after the completion of the dam, Dave worked as a guide in the dam for a number of years. He met May Caldwell in Boulder City, and they lived there many years. Dave and May at one time ran the station at Wheaton and later he was the night clerk at the Charleston Hotel in Las Vegas.

During his lifetime Dave became noted for his unselfish assistance to needy families, sometimes much to the chagrin of his own family. Once he brought home a woman with her six children, and they remained for two weeks, including the Thanksgiving holidays.

May was a great help and companion to Dave. Her devotion to him and her hard work during all their time together was a source of admiration and appreciation, especially during his illnesses, by the children, grandchildren and the many friends of Dave. Her great sense of humor and easy conversation were a pleasure to Dave as these were his outstanding qualities also. A guest in their home couldn't help but feel the joy of their association and know that they were blessed with a special kind of happiness.

Samuel (Simeon?) David Conger died 30 Nov 1969 at 10:40 a.m. at the Las Vegas Convalescent Center. His wife, May, and his daughter, Beulah, were with him at the time. Burial was at the Overton Cemetery in Clark County, Nevada, next to his first wife, Maybell, and with his father and mother, and brother Elijah's family. (Elijah Conger was the one who had Charles L. Conger's records microfilmed from the Library of Congress.)

RECOLLECTIONS: Life Sketch of Ezra (Conger) Jolley McGavin
Ezra Tooele Conger was born March 28, 1885 in Buckeye, Alabama to William and Hicksey Ann Mitchel [sic] Conger. She was the fourth of seven children.

There home was a small acreage cleared in the woods, where they raised cotton, peanuts, sweet potatoes, a few sheep for wool, a milk cow and a span of muloes for plowing. Everyone helped with the farm work. They raised their own food and clothing. The cotton and wool would be spun into thread on the spinning sheel then woven into cloth on the loom. They knit their own sweaters and hose from the wool and made their clothes from the cotton material.

Her mother being in poor health, she was needed at home so was only priviledged to go to school to the fourth grade. However, through experiece she was educated in the important things of life.

The Missionaries converted her family to the Gospel in 1890 so she was raised in a Latter-day Saint home and was baptised when 8 years old.

In January 1901 the family moved to Parawan, Utah, then later to Washington, Utah. Here Ezra worked in the cotton mill and hired out as a maid to families and hotels. While living there she met and married Reuben James Jolley, July 13, 1905. He was a widower with four small children so even as a bride she began raising a family.

To this union was born five daughters and six sons, one son dying in infancy, making a total of fourteen children that came under her influence.

In 1913 they moved to Oakley, Idaho. Her husband came overland by team and wagon while she came on the train with the smaller children. It took her husband six weeks to make the trip. He then helped build the canals on the Oakley Project. Later they moved to Albion, Idaho and in 1918 moved to the Burley Project.

They settled on a farm and there is no reason to think that farm life with a family the size of the Jolley's was easy. Husband and wife worked side by side to raise their children and give them a testimony of the Gospel that they might grow up to be honorable and respectable men and women.

In 1940 her husband died leaving her with four sons still at home. She worked at many different places and on one occasion even moved to Portland, Oregon to manage a hotel, but in 1955 she moved back to Burley, ID.

For 17 years she was a widow, but while doing Temple work at Idaho Falls she met Roland McGavin who she married in the Idaho Falls Temple on February 27, 1957. They did a great deal of Temple Work until his death in May 1961. Though left again a widow she was never idle. One might say that she did not live alone because her hands, with their accomplishments in various kinds of needlework, from small fancy stitching to quilt making, kept her not only busy but seemed to give companionship, because she was making these things as a labor of love for her many children, grandchildren and others near and dear to her. One can be sure that these articles made with the labor of love will be cherished by their owners for many years to come.

She had a firm testimony of the gospel and her church activities were many, her main love being for the Relief Society organization and she was a visiting teacher for many years.

After five days of illnes she died at the Cassia Memorial Hospital on June 28, 1973 at 4:45 a.m. as the dawn was breaking in the eastern sky to begin a new day.

She is survived by ten children:
Agnes Hogg, Jerome, Idaho
Tallie Vanek, Portland, Ore.
Wanda Anderson, Boise, Idaho
William Jolley, Rupert, Idaho
Carol Rayborn, Baker, Ore.
Lula Mae Baird, Boise, Idaho
Anthony Jolley, Bruneau, Idaho
James Jolley, Molalla, Ore.
Edsel Jolley, Talon, Ore.
John J. Jolley, Boise, Idaho
Three step-children:
Delpha Westover, Salt Lake City, Utah
Ella Mercier, Hollywood, Cal.
Bryan Jolley, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Forty-three grandchildren, eighty four great grandchildren, and eight great great grandchildren, a grand total of one hundred and forty-five progeny.

She is buried in the Pleasant View Cemetery at Burley, Idaho, beside her husband and infant son.

BIOGRAPHY: Ezra Jolley McGavin
Ezra Jolley McGavin, who at nearly 85 years of age now stays "young" by keeping busy making quilts, afghans, fancy work, attending church regularly and walking, was born March 27 [sic 28], 1885 in Buckeye, Ala.

When 12 years of age, she moved with her family to southern Utah. She married Reuben J. Jolley on July 13, 1905. In 1913 they moved to Oakley, traveling overland with their horses and wagons, camping along the way.

In Oakley her husband worked for a construction company building the canals. They later moved to Albion which at that time was the county seat of Cassia County.

In 1918 the family moved from Albion to the Burley project where they farmed for many years. Her husband died in 1940, and in 1957 she married Roland McGavin. He died in 1961.

Mrs. McGavin is the mother of 11 children, 10 still living. She has 40 grandchildren, 66 great grandchildren and two great great grandchildrn - 119 descendants. She also reared four step-children.

She will soon be 85 years old, is still active and cares for herself. In the summertime she can be seen outside at her home in Burley, wearing her sunbonnet, tending her flowers.

Erie Locke Conger

DIVORCE: The marriage of Erie Locke Conger and Agnes J. Sawnson ended in divorce in 1927.

RECOLLECTIONS: In October 1969 he wrote, "I have followed many occupations from driving a street car in Kansas City to teaching Adult Education during the Depression. At present I am Managing Editor and Business Manager of "The Liberty Press," a weekley newspaper at Liberty Center, Ohio.

"My biography would fill a book. I have been nearly everywhere and seen nearly everything, and am still a student, both of history and mankind.

"My father was Charles L. Conger, also born in Douglas county, Kansas, and was born in the late 1850's [sic, 1862]. He was a Jack-of-all-trades and master of none. My grandfather was John Conger, b. 1817, who moved from New York state before the Civil War, coming overland alone and shipping his furniture by water down through the Gulf, up the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers to Westport landing (now Kansas City) and then overland to his homestead in Douglas county, Kansas. He operated the first underground station for run-away slaves out of Missouri and missed being burned out by Quantrell by a hair. He was a dairy farmer and sold butter to the army at Fort Leavenworth.

"My father, Charles, moved to Lawrence from Hesper when I was five years old so that he could send me to school at Lawrence.

"I left Kansas in 1927, and have traveled from coast to coast and border to border and followed many trades in my travels. If you (Maxine Leonard) think you are the 'crazy cousin,' you ain't seen nothin' yet! My experiences would make Mark Twain look like a piker. I may write them someday, in spite of the embarrassment it might cause my children.

"I wish you the best of success in your work on genealogy. You must be a detective or a skip tracer at heart."
