CONOR The subject of this sketch died at his home at Fordyce Monday June 28, 1902 after a lingering illness. Mr. Conor spent his boyhood in this county and was well known to most of our people. He was but a boy when the war between the states broke out but true to his country as he ever was to every trust reposed in him, he shouldered his musket and went in defense of what he considered to be right. At the battle of Shiloh he received a wound that cost him a leg. After the war he did such works as he could until Rev. Berry Watson began teaching at Pleasant Ridge Academy. With assistance of friends he attended school until he was sufficiently advanced to teach. He served his county two terms as county treasurer. He was a faithful and efficient officer. He later ran for clerk and received a fair vote but was defeated. Mr. Conor later moved to Dallas county to open an abstract office. He was not, however very successful in the abstract business. He was elected by the people of Dallas county as assessor and filled that office two years. Mr. Conor married Miss Tennie Powers, a most excellant lady of this county and they lived happily together till death separated them. He leaves a wife, a grown daughter, Miss Effie and two sons to mourn their loss. We sympathize with them in this their sad hour.
