Smith Conner, who died last Wednesday in Walnut Township, was born October 17, 1808 in Montgomery County, Virginia. In 1823, when fifteen years of age, his parents removed to Indiana, when the State was almost unbroken wilderness. December 11, 1834, he was married to Susan Hardesty in Putnam County. Soon afterwards he came to this county and located in Walnut Township where he resided until his death. Four children were born to them, two boys and two girls, all of them, together with his wife, survive him. In 1845 he connected himself with the United Brethren Church of which he remained an exemplary member until he was called by his Master. The funeral services were held yesterday at Union Church attended by a large concourse of neighbors and friends, and were conducted by Presiding Elder J. W. Nye.
