Jno. J. Conoley Dies at Home Early Today; Prominent and Aged Local Resident 
Had Been ill Several Weeks

        John J. Conoley, 85, for more than fifty years a prominent and leading 
Brunswick resident, passed away at his home on Union street at 7 o'clock this 
morning.  Mr. Conoley had been ill for several weeks and his condition had 
been critical for the past several days.
        Born in Wilmington, N.C. September 1, 1850, Mr. Conoley removed to 
Brunswick when a young man, and he had been prominent in business circles up 
to the time he retired several years ago.  He served as secretary and 
treasurer and vice president of the Downing Company for 45 years and was well 
known by naval store-operators and producers throughout this entire section, 
having been for years connected with that department of the Downing Co.
        Mr. Conoley was married to Miss Kezzie Wood in Wilmington on November 
27, 1878 removing to Brunswick a short time thereafter.
        In his younger life Mr. Conoley was prominent in Brunswick business, 
religious and social circles.  He had for years been a member of St. Mark's 
Episcopal church, having served that church as senior warden and vestryman.  
He was also one of the oldest members of Oglethorpe-Rathbone lodge, Knights of 
Pythias, having been a member of that lodge for a long number of years.  He 
was presented a veterans' jewel by the order in 1917.
        Mr. Conoley was a Chesterfield in character, a member of a prominent 
North Carolina family, many of the members of which removed to Brunswick a 
half century ago.  He had a large number of friends in Brunswick and 
throughout this section, who will be grieved to learn of his death.
        He is survived by his widow, two daughters, Misses Ethel and Kezzie 
Conoley, of this city; one brother, Charles Conoley, of Atlanta, and a number 
of nieces and nephews.
        Funeral services will be held from St. Mark's church Tuesday afternoon 
at 3 o'clock, conducted by the rector, the Rev. Royal K. Tucker, and burial 
will follow in Palmetto cemetery.  The following will act as pallbearers:  
John Calais and Walter Coney, Savannah; Phil Latimer, C.M. Peddicord, Mumford 
Tison, and A.J. Mitchelson.  Mortician Edo Miller is in charge of funeral 
arrangements.
