March 18, 1914, aged 77 years, 6 months and 25 days.  He came to Michigan in 
December, 1854, with his parents, when he was 18 years of age and settled in 
Easton township, where he spent the remainder of his life.  He was married to 
Mary Jane Pike, on March 25, 1860.  To them were born eight children, five of 
whom are living:  Herbert W. Conner, Mrs. John Kingston, Mrs. Perry Stebbins, 
Mrs. Frank Covert and Fred R. Conner, his wife and three children having 
preceded him home.  Two brothers and two sisters also mourn his demise:  Levi 
Conner , Benj. Conner, Mrs. William Dumper and Mrs. Wilson Orser.  He gave his 
heart to his Savior in early life, and was an earnest consistent worker in the 
M. E. Church in the community in which he lived.  He was a loving companion

those that are left.  The funeral was from the Easton church on Friday at 2
