WM. H. CONNER
William H. Conner, seventh child of Job and Nancy Conner, was born on September 8, 1839, in Preston county, West Virginia, and died at his home in Derby, Iowa, February 24, 1919.
With his parents he moved to Indiana in 1844 and then to Iowa in 1855. He returned to Indiana in 1860. Mr. Conner enlisted in the Federal Army in 1862 and served through the war of the rebellion until its close. In the battle of Champion Hill on May 16, 1863, he was severely wounded, and although he returned to the ranks and finished his service, his wounds made him unfit for the better part of his service.
On September 1, 1869, at Logansport, Ind., he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Marshall, and shortly after, they came to Iowa and settled on a farm in Wayne county. They have lived in Wayne and Lucas counties since that period, a good part of the time they have lived in Derby. To this union four children were born, John H., of Montrose, Col.; Charles F., of Derby, Margaret Sydebotham, of Williamson, and Bruce W., who died in 1906.
Manly and honest, neither giving nor provoking an offense, no neighbor ever questioned either the propriety or the integrity of any course he might take, and his good name will remain with those who loved this plain, unassuming man of the people as precious ointment.
While a devout believer in an Almighty God, for reasons best known to himself, he never allied himself with any church body. He had no burning ambition for great things, and he lived on the work that was at hand for him to do, and he bore to his grave that highest of earthly comforts, the calm repose of a life which holds itself in peace with all others, and so wends its way at last to the peace that passeth all understanding, leaving his widow and three surviving children, a heritage better than silver or gold, stocks or bonds, the heritage of an untarnished name.
Services were held at the late home on Wednesday morning, conducted by Rev. R. C. Russell, of the M. E. church, assisted by Rev. C. A. Marshall, of the Presbyterian church, and Mr. R. F. Decker. Interment was made in the Derby cemetery.
