As a small and only child in Oklahoma on the farm, Jack made up the imaginary town of Dippydale. Jack was the ruler of Dippydale. He would stand on top of the chicken house and give orders to the imaginary people. No women were allowed in Dippydale because they picked the flowers. Jack's only companion was a large stray brindle bull dog.

The following poem was written by Charles Franklin Conner - Jack's Father.
A baby's pen missing in my front room
Reminds me of a boy who came to visit me and left too soon
It's funny how a babe can wind
His precious ways into one's mind
And leave so large a void behind
No wonder that the Savior mild
To purchase Heaven used a child
