SAM CONWAY, the enterprising young liveryman of Modesto, has built up an
extensive business in his line, and now enjoys a reputation second to none among
traveling men and the public generally. Having a well equipped barn, with all
necessary conveniences, the uniformly courteous treatment which he has accorded
all customers has brought him a large patronage. Mr. Conway is a native of
California, born at Sherlock creek, Mariposa county, on the 16th of April, 1864,
his parents being John and Caroline Conway, the father a native of Indiana, and
his mother of England. His father came to this State in the early days of
mining, and followed that pursuit in Mariposa county. The mother died in 1868.

   Our subject was the youngest of a family of three children. He was
principally reared in Stanislaus county, attending the union district school.
Thrown on his own resources at an early age, he has ever since made his own way
in the world. His first occupation was farm work, which he followed until
September, 1891, when he bought the livery barn in Modesto, which he now
conducts, from Alfred Dunning. Here his practical training in early life has
stood him in good stead, and he has made this business a success.

   Mr. Conway was married in Modesto, on the 29th of September, 1886, to Miss
Jennie Rinehart, a native of California, and daughter of J. F. Rinehart, an
early comer to California, who had the usual experience of the Argonauts in the
mines.
