Cyrus A. Conner is well and favorably known in various parts of Johnson County and now the fortunate possessor of a valuable homestead, comprising 240 acres on twp. 46, range 25. He fought in the defense of the Union during the late Civil War, and now is a member of Colonel Grover Post No. 78, G.A.R., at Warrensburg. A leader in the local ranks of the Republican party, his friends desired him to run for the position of Judge in this district on one occasion, but he steadfastly refused. He has been the architect of his own fortune, having commenced his business career at the bottom round of the ladder, and has achieved success through his own industrious and persevering efforts. The paternal grandparents of our subject were Alexander and Elizabeth (Jackman) Conner, natives of Ireland and Virginia, respectively. The moved from their home in Russell County, Ky. to a farm on island No. 10, in the Mississippi River. Mr. Conner was financially well-to-do at the time of his death, which occurred in 1840 on the island, where his wife also departed this life. The maternal grandparents of our subject were Hon. Jon Wolford and his wife, whose maiden name was Jane Lapsleyh. They were both born in Albemarle County, Va., and were married in Casey County, Ky. Mr. Wolford was a farmer by occupation, and owned a beautiful country home, where he kept a number of slaves prior to the war. He was a member of the Legislature for about ten years, and for four years represented his district in Congress. His first wife died when Mrs. Conner was only four years old, and he then married Mahala Lane, who died in Casey County. His own death occurred at his old home when he was in his eighty-seventh year. By his first marriage he had the following children: Eleanor, John M., Jacob, James L., Eliza Jane and Emily T. By the second union the following children were born: Franklin L. William, Cyrus, Albert, Elizabeth A., Rachel C. George, Sarah J and Francis M. William Conner, our subject's father, was born in Russel County, Ky. March 19, 1805. His brother Thomas died on a farm near Ft. Scott, Ks, and his brother John also departed this life in the same locality. His sister Lizzie married Samuel Miller, and both are now deceased. Roena became the wife of Samuel Brown, and both have been called to their final rest. Eliza, the youngest, is a resident of Macoupin County, Ill. When William Conner was about nineteen years of age, he moved with his parents to Island No. 10, but, not liking it there, he returned to his native state. He engaged in farming in Russell County, and soon afterward married Minerva Hutchison, who died two years later, about 1830, leaving one child. This daughter, Angelica, married Levin Granger, and both she and her husband are now deceased. About two years after the death of his first wife, Mr. Conner married Eliza J. Wolford, who was born January 25, 1812. After several years of farming in Kentucky, William Colnner moved to Missouri, where he had heard there was much good, cheap land. His family came by the Cumberland and Mississippi Rivers and thence up the Missouri, landing here April 17, 1844. After renting a farm for four years, Mr. Conner took up a claim of one hundred and sixty acres, now the homestead owned by our subject. Later he took up one hundred and sixty acres more, and in 1851 built a good farm house. He made extensive improvements, and at one time owned three hundred and sixty acres. The principal products of his farm were hemp and cotton, for this was before the days of wheat-raising in this section. Wild game was very abundant and included bears, panthers, wolves, wild hogs and deer. One of his hired men was chased by a pack of wolves and did not dare to venture forth from his cabin for several days. April 24, 1878, mr Conner was called to the silent land, leaving a host of friends who still hold his memory dear. He was never an office seeker, but used his franchise in favor of the Republican party. Of his five sons, James Monroe, born May 26, 1832, married Mary Reed in 1862. He died in December, 1878, and his widow afterward married John Curnutt, of whom a sketch will be found elsewhere in this volume. John Milton, born August 1, 1835, was a diligent student, but was cut short in his life work at the age of twenty-one years, his death occurring on the anniversary of his birth. William Thomas, born in 1841, married for his first wife Adelia Lapsley, from whom he afterward separated, and by whom he had several children; for his second wife he married Mrs. Emma Newland, from whom he is also separated. The lady who now bears his name was formerly Miss Liggett. He is an attorney and prominent real-estate man in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Joseph Franklin, born January 1, 1849, married Jennie Budd, of English extraction, and their home is in Sedan, Chatauqua County, Kansas, where he holds the office of District Clerk. Cyrus A. Conner was born in Russell County, Kentucky April 24, 1827, and was in his eighth year when he came to Missouri. He assisted his father until he was nineteen years of age, when he began hauling freight for the Government across the plains. With six yoke of oxen he started westward by way of Fort Laramie and Salt Lake City, passing one winter in Skull Valley, Utah. He spent about three years in the trip, reaching home in August, 1859. The following November he went to Texas and turned his attention to raising stock on a large ranch situated on the boundary line between Collin and Denton Counties. In his three years' experience there he met with great success, and only left the business to enlist in the war. He started home on horseback, and though stopped several times by the Confederate soldiers, arrived safely in the spring of 1862. He planted a crop of corn and tobacco, but gave it to friends and offered his services in the First Missouri Cavalry. Under Captain Peabody and Colonel Ellis, he fought on the frontier until August 30, 1864, at Pea Ridge, when he received a wound which was considered fatal. He recovered from that, however, but was wounded in the side near Little Rock. In a short time he was back in the ranks and fought bravely until the close of the war, being mustered out June 13, 1865, at Little Rock, after nearly three year's service. April 19, 1866, Mr. Conner married Mary E. Hess, a native of Ohio, born near Dayton. Her parents, Abraham and Susannah (Reynolds) Hess, after their marriage, lived on a farm in Ohio until the death of the father. His widow subsequently became the wife of David Zumbrun, and shortly afterward moved to this county. The mother died on their farm here, but Mr. Zumbrun's death occurred in Jewell County, Kansas. The only brother of Mrs. Conner was George, who died when about twenty-one years of age. After nearly twenty-five years of happy married life our subject was deprived of his wife's love and faithful care by death. They were the parents of nine children. William Sherman, born January 27, 1867, married Lizzie Lesh, and is a telegraph operator in western Kansas; Agnes died at the age of four years; Lucy Mabel died in infancy; Elizabeth Ann, born in 1872, married W. L. Bethel, and now lives only a quarter of a mile distant from her father's home; Arthur A., born in July, 1873, is attending Parkville College, near Kansas City; Lucian Stanley, born December 8, 1876, lives at home, as do the younger members of the family, namely: Mary Louisa, born in 1879; Walter Otto in 1881; and Luther Cyrus, October 2, 1886. April 17, 1892, Mr. Conner married Mrs. Mary M. Wilson, who was born April 3, 1843 in Knobnoster. Her parents, Samuel Sarah (Walters) Workman, were both born near Hanover, Pennsylvania. At an early day they emegrated to Missouri, and in 1839 moved from Howard County to Knobnoster, buying one hundred and sixty acres of land, on which the town now stands, and which was laid out by Mr. Workman. He lived there until his death, January 4, 1889, and his wife survived him only a year and a half, dying June 20, 1890. Mrs. Conner is one of eight children, and of the others we not the following: Rebecca died in her sixth year; Eliza A. became the wife of Thomas Cooksey, of Oklahoma; Sarah J. married Aaron Weidman, a retired citizen of Knobnoster; Walter A., who married Myra Hague, is now engaged in farming in Illinois; Samuel E. is a real-estate and insurance man of Knobnoster, and his wife was formerly Fannie Garrison; William J. first married Katie Elbert, then Emma Wells, and his present wife was formerly Mrs. Lulu Oliphant; their home is near Ashland, Kansas; and James Madison, a successful physician of Woodward, Oklahoma, married Sadie Brown of Indiana. For two years after his second marriage, Cyrus Conner lived in Knobnoster, having turned his farm over to his children for the time being. Ever since then, he has conducted his own farm, which he purchased from the other heirs of his father's estate. About two hundred acres of this are under cultivation, corn, wheat and hay being the principal products. Mr. Conner is a believer in the future of clover, and claims he can make more money raising clover seed than he can from wheat crops. He lost a large sum by the burning of the mill in Knobnoster, in which he had stored an immense quantity of wheat. On account of the wound which he received during the war, Mr. Conner now draws a pension of $12 a month. His fortune has been made entirely since the war, as when he left the service he did not have a dollar. A man in favor of good schools and teachers, he served for several years as a School Director, but aside from that has never held public office. For about fifteen years he has been a member of Sandstone Lodge, AOUW, of Knobnoster. Both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of that place, and are ever active in religous and benevolent work.

Joseph Conner was a clerk of the court of Chautauqua County. When not in session, he sold fruit trees. It is said that he represented Stark Nurseries.

Obituary from the Atwood, Kansas "Citizen-Patriot" newspaper: Josephine Fay Conner Hartzell was born on a farm near Grenola, Kansas on May 4, 1892, the 10th of 11 children of Jane Catherine Budd and Joseph F. Conner. All her brothers and sisters have preceeded her in death: Charles, Nell, Roy, Clara, Lida, Rena, Ann and Chester.
She attended school in the Peru, Kansas, area, graduating from Peru High School in 1912. She was employed as a book-keeper for a local hardware store before her marriage to Leland Earl Hartzell, April 7, 1917, in Sedan Kansas.
Two daughters were born to Fay and Leland: Merry June and Virginia Lee. Since her husband was employed by the Magnolia Oil Company, moves were frequent but the family was always together whenever possible. They settled in the Great Bend, Kansas area where they lived until her husband passed away in August 1956. Mrs. Hartzell then moved to Atwood, and has resided here since then.
She was a member of the Christian Church and had been a very active member until the last few years, accepting Christ at about the age of 12 years. She was a Gray Lady, serving many hours in that capacity. She especially enjoyed singing with a group of women who entertained the patients at the Good Samaritan Center here in Atwood. As long as she could drive, she used her car to take ladies to various events around Atwood. Throughout the years she worked diligently on many church projects, especially sewing. Even in her last years when she was in poor health, she undertook a mission project for her church of sewing little shirts and dresses for needy children. Like Dorcas, she often used her sewing talent for the Lord.
Her daughters will always cherish the memory that their Christian Mother always saw to it that they were in church and Sunday school as children and young people. She taught them that homemaking was a woman's primary calling while also encouraging them to seek additional education.
She is survived by her two daughters and their husbands: Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Neely of Laramie, Wyoming and Mr.and Mrs. Wilbur Leebrick of Atwood. She was a loving grandmother to five granddaughters and three grandsons and six great-grandchildren.
She passed away May 31, 1972, at the age of 80 years and 27 days. She leaves a host of her friends who will sadly miss her. She was buried on 2 Jun 1972 in Peru, Chautauqua Co, Ks.⁽¹⁷⁹⁴⁾ Parents: Joseph Franklin CONNER and Jane Catherine "Jennie" BUDD.
