Times - Republican, Corydon, IA,  July 15, 1897
William McConnel was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, October 8, 1814, and died 
at the home of his son C. S. McConnel in Boise City, Idaho, June 1897. He came 
to Iowa in 1848 and settled in Wayne County in 1855, where he lived till the 
fall of 1886, when he went to Idaho.

Of his twelve children nine are still living; the only daughter, Mrs. J. A. 
Lawson is living here in Corydon, the wife of Mr. J. A. Lawson, County 
Recorder. Father McConnel had been in failing health for some years, and at 
the time of his death four of his sons were permitted to be with him.

He was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in his early 
youth and lived and died a faithful Christian. As the earthly life drew to a 
close, the eternal life came into view, and he assured those about him that he 
was anxiously awaiting the time of his translation, for his work was done and 
he could truthfully say, as he did that he had lived to make the world better; 
and now he is gone to his reward, and while the loved ones on this side are 
saddened by the separation, they are at the same time comforted by the 
assurance that he has rejoined the beloved wife and other loved ones who 
preceded him to the Glory world where they will await the coming of all the 
family.
