Belle Conrow, 71-year-old pioneer of this community and a prominent public figure here for many years, passed away in the home of her sister, Mrs. Susan Beckett, on Washington Street, at about 7:30 Wednesday morning following a short illness of influenza which resulted in heart complications. The aged woman had been in failing health for some time but did not become seriously ill until only a few days before her death. Her failing health came so gradual that it was imperceptible except to her most intimate friends and her serious illness and resulting death came as a surprise to all. Funeral arrangements were still pending Wednesday afternoon, awaiting word from another sister, Mrs. Ida Jordan, of Long Beach, Calif. Long-Time Resident Florence Belle Conrow was born 71 years ago in LaMoille, Ill., and spent her younger childhood days in that community. While still a child, her father, Thoren Conrow, died and soon after that the family moved to Clay county, where they moved to a farm north of Vermillion. After residing on the farm for several years, the family moved to Vermillion and purchased the house on North Franklin street in which the deceased made her home until her fatal illness. Miss Conrow completed her education in schools in this community and then for several years taught in the Vermillion primary grades. Following the death of her mother, whom she supported during her last years, she was elected to the office of county superintendent of schools, an office which she held for two successive terms, from 1911 to 1914, inclusive. In 1926 she was again chosen to run for public office and was elected by a large majority as county auditor. She also held this office for two successive terms, until her retirement from public life in 1930. Among other positions held by the deceased during her lifetime was a post under Governor McMaster as inspector of state educational and penal institutions. During the last few years she had been employed by the state historical society, until that position had been done away with, and since that time had worked with the state planning board here. For a considerable time, until she again resumed an active political life, she was employed as a writer and journalist by the Vermillion Plain Talk and held the close friendship and respect of her fellow employees. Miss Conrow was the fifth of 11 children, only two, Mrs. Susan Beckett, Vermillion, and Mrs. Ida Jordan, Long Beach, Calif., of whom survive.
