   B. F. CONWAY, a leading farmer, was born in Henry County, Ind., August 19,
1835, and is the eldest living son of Richard and Cynthia (Ray) Conway, natives
respectively of Kentucky and Virginia. Richard Conway located in Wild Cat
Township, Tipton County, in 1860; he made a comfortable home before his death,
April 27, 1868, aged sixty-two; his wife is still living, aged seventy-three
years, and resides with her daughter, in Marion County. Mr. Conway was a
Republican, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Our subject worked
on his father's farm and received a common school education. At the age of
seventeen, he began farm job work, and subsequently worked at house carpentering
six years. In 1863, he came to Tipton County and located on land which he had
purchased in 1861; this land was marshy, but he has opened a good farm of 200
acres, well-drained, with 160 under cultivation. Mr. Conway was married,
February 22, 1863, to Miss Sarah E. Lawson, a native of Rush County, daughter of
Ransom Lawson. They have had seven children, five of whom are living-Elmer E.,
Lienella, Laura B., Minnie and Daisey. Mr. Conway is an enterprising citizen and
earnest supporter of all public improvements. He is an active worker in the
Republican ranks, and a Master Mason.
