The first leg of a westward trek, which was to end in Stratton, Nebraska, was to Porter County, Indiana, where he worked for a year. In 1875 he joined a Wagon Train of the Quinn Family’s (which consisted of: William T. Quinn, James Quinn, Daniel Dick, Wm. Austin and others) to Jefferson County, Nebraska. In 1876 he and Sarah Quinn (daughter of Robert and Catherine Phillips Quinn) were married, and they farmed near Fairbury until 1902, when they moved to Rawlins County, Kansas. The next year they moved to a farm on Muddy Creek northwest of Stratton, Nebraska. Later they farmed the Fitzgerald place three miles east of town and then retired to live in Stratton. They were the parents of seven sons and one daughter, namely: Robert Mason, Hazard Elijah “Haze”, John, Roy Merit, Charles Franklin, Wilfred, Paul “Pat” and Lulu (Mrs. U.S. Burks). Haze, Roy, and Paul were World War I service men and all lived to return home. Their four younger boys, (Roy, Charles, Wilfred and Paul) attended the University of Nebraska and taught school in and around the Hitchcock County area before picking up where their father left off on his westward trek. Wilfred and his wife, Della, and Lulu and U.S. Burks were the only children of the Conner family to remain in Stratton. Sarah Quinn Conner obeyed the Gospel in 1870 in Valparaiso, Indiana and John Thomas in 1880 at Fairbury, Nebraska, where they were members if the Silver Creek Church of Christ, located on a plot of land donated by William T and Mary Frances Quinn to the Church in October 31, 1888. The Church was organized as a Christian Church but then the deed and plot of the cemetery was recorded as a Church of Christ. John T Conner died the 9th of February 1923 and Sarah Quinn Conner passed away the 16th of March 1928. John’s funeral was held at the home and Sarah’s funeral was held at the Methodist Church. Both are buried at Rose Hill Cemetery, Stratton, Nebraska. Copied from material written by H.W. Quinn. Information by Gladys Burks Peirce.
