  JOSEPH C. CONNER, D. D. S., General Administrator of the County of Lauderdale,
was born in Owen County, Ky., March 9, 1838, and was educated at Elkton, in his

  He began the drug business in Nashville in 1852, and there read medicine,
attended lectures, and studied dentistry. He began the practice of dental
surgery in 1859, and in 1861, came to Florence.

  He entered the Confederate service as a non-commissioned officer in Co. F,
Fourth Alabama Cavalry, and served to the close of the war. During the last
year, he was acting assistant-surgeon. He was under General Forrest about a year
and a half, and the rest of the time in the general cavalry service. He
surrendered at Selma in 1865, returned to Florence, and again took up the
practice of dentistry. He was one of the organizers of the Florence Land, Mining
