Read More	The Weekly Calistogan, January 16, 1925 NEWTON CONNER PASSED AWAY SATURDAY A PIONEER HAD BEEN RESIDENT OF THIS SECTION HALF A CENTURY Newton Conner, who came here in July of 1875, and had lived here for nearly half a century, died at his home in Calistoga last Saturday morning at an early hour. Death was due to the infirmities of his advanced years, after having been bed-ridden for the past seven months. Mr. Conner was born near Peru, Ind., February 16, 1840, and had therefore reached the ripe old age of 84 years, 10 months and 25 days. He was the last member of a family of six brothers and three sisters to pass away. With his family he came to California in 1875, arriving at Banta station in the San Joaquin valley on June 11th, and in Calistoga on July 4th of that year. For more than forty-four years he had been a resident of his present home on the corner of Cedar and Berry streets. In his earlier years in this valley he engaged in farming, living on the Evey and Finley places north of town. For twenty years he was interested in the butcher business, and for many years operated a stage line between Calistoga and the Oathill mine, and had the mail and express contract. In later years he served as Deputy Assessor in Calistoga. The deceased grew to manhood in his native State of Indiana, and on August 21, 1867, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Caroline M. Fitzgerald, their married life continuing for more than fifty-seven years. Of this union, there were five children born, four of them growing to maturity. In 1867, with his wife and step-daughter, he moved to LaBette, Kansas, where they resided for eight years; from that State they came to California. In July, 1861, he entered the Civil War and enlisted in Company A, 20th Indiana Regiment, where he served for more than four years. He fought in the battle of Bull Run, the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Melvin Hill, Cold Harbor before Richmond, and in several others that were of value in winning the war. The flag, to him, was an emblem of great value and he held it in the highest honor. He was a member of Governor Morton Post, No. 41, G.A.R., and was bound to his comrades by that tie that only men know who have sacrificed and suffered together. For fifty years he belonged to the Masonic order and throughout his life was a consistent member. He was the eldest member of Calistoga Lodge, No. 233, F. and A.M. He was also a faithful member of Calistoga Chapter No. 189, O.E.S. He was an honored citizen, always standing for the welfare and best interests of the community. He was a devoted husband and father, greatly interested in planning for the welfare of his home. A daughter, Minnie, passed away in infancy. Mrs. Delia Martin, his step-daughter, preceded him to the grave years ago. Of the immediate family there is left to mourn his passing, his wife, Caroline M. Conner, four sons with their wives and families, as follows: Charles W. G. Conner of Calistoga, Rev. Beecher B. Conner of Ukiah, Edward S. Conner of San Francisco, Frank H. Conner of Richmond; also a son-in-law, Oscar Martin of Isleton; five grandchildren: Mrs. Etta Stott of Antioch, Marjorie, Dorothy, Grace and Alice Conner. These, with the other members of their families and many close friends of years' standing, have realized the true value his quiet life and close friendship. The funeral was held Monday afternoon from the Masonic hall in Calistoga under the auspices of Calistoga lodge of Masons, with Past Master Martin Wolleson presiding. The funeral was very largely attended, the all being crowded. Interment was made in the Calistoga cemetery.
