From an unnamed newspaper obituary clipping from 'The Paris Scrapbook' donated by Skipper Steely: 'September 12, 1914. Funeral services for Capt. O. C. Connor, who died at 12:30 o'clock yesterday morning, will be held at Centenary Methodist church this afternoon at 3 o'clock, followed by burial at Evergreen cemetery. The honorary pallbearers will be members of the ex-Confederate camp and the camp will form an escort of honor to the body from his late home to the church. Orange Cicero Connor was born near Sommerville, TN, September 6, 1829, one of a large family of children born to Orange and Judith Connor. As a child he attended the common schools of his home, and his education was completed at the Sommerville Baptist College. The family came to Texas when he was a youth, verging on manhood, and settled in what is now Morris county, about sixty miles southeast of Paris, where his father engaged in farming and reared his family, all of whom became useful citizens. November 16, 1852, Orange C. Connor and Miss Mary A. A. Aikin were married and began their life together on a farm near his father. Their union continued for more than half a century, Mrs. Connor having died at the family home here June 20, 1912, a few months before the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage. She was a daughter of the late Col. William B. Aikin of Paris, a man who as a philanthropist has left imperishable memories of his beneficence in this city. When the state of his adoption seceded from the union Orange C. Connor answered her call, and in May, 1861, enlisted as a volunteer 'for the war.' He was elected by his comrades to be the first lieutenant of his company and in that capacity he served almost continuously until the South bowed to the weight of superior numbers. He never renounced his love for its principles, however, and though he resumed his citizenship with the union the four years of blood and tears left its impression on him and he was to the day of his death a Southern soldier. He was one of the leaders in the organization of Albert Sidney Johnston Camp Confederate Veterans in Paris, and a regular attendant at the local, state and national meetings of the organization as long as his health permitted. At the close of the war he returned to his farm and later engaged in merchandising. Coming to Paris in February, 1870, he established a store on the south side of the square, which he conducted until the great fire of August, 1877, destroyed it, after which he gave his farming and other property interests his attention to the time of his last illness. He always took an interest in the government of his city and state but never held or sought political office with the exception of serving many years ago as justice of the peace at the solicitation of his friends, who felt that his sound judgment and unbiased mind were needed in that then important office. In early life Capt. Connor became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, and continued until his death not only a communicant at its altar but a consistent, broad-minded and true Christian, and a liberal contributor to the church and its purpose. In 1873 Capt. Connor was one of a score of business men, including Willet Babcock, James D. Wortham, W. G. Barry, A. Cate and others, who organized a volunteer fire department in Paris, in which he held continuous membership until it disbanded in 1909 to give place to the paid organization. He served several years as its chief in the early '80's, finally refusing re-election as he felt the place should go to a younger man. He was one of the organizers of the State Firemen's Association, which honored him with a vice-presidency for years and then with the presidency, to which he also refused re-election. Hundreds of veteran volunteer firemen all over Texas loved him and will grieve for his passing. Capt. Connor's parents preceded him to the other side years ago and of his brothers and sisters there are left Capt. W. T. Connor and Mrs. S. C. Glass, both of whom live in Daingerfield, Morris county. His surviving children are W. A. Connor of Corpus Christi; E. S. Connor, O. C. Connor, Jr., Mrs. Pearle C. Dickson and Mrs. Daisie C. Pierce of Paris, and Mrs. Ermina C. Bray of Dallas. He had besides a number of grandchildren and other relatives. All his children ministered to him during his last days and were with him at his death. Orange Cicero Connor's life should serve as an inspiration for the young men of today. As a citizen he was identified with every movement for the moral and material upbuilding of his country and especially of the city he chose for his home; as a man he was honored and respected by his fellows; as a husband and father he was loved and revered. His word was his bond, his sense of honor lofty, his charity evidenced by deed as well as by voice, his character unblemished. A true Southern gentleman, kindly to children, courtly to women, thoughtful of others, as well as himself, his death has deprived Paris of one whom any municipality might be proud to call a citizen.'

From the records of Lamar #258 United Daughters of the Confederacy: Awarded Cross of Military Service on April, 1904. He served as 2nd Lt. - Capt., Co. G, 19th Texas Infantry Volunteers.
The Confederate monument located on the southwest corner of the courthouse was a gift of Captain and Mrs. O. C. Conner in the name of Lamar Chapter No. 258, UDC, for all Confederates. The material of the monument is Texas granit, all gray except the first base, which is red, 9 feet square. On each side of the third base, which is 5 1/2 feet square and 26 inches thick are inscriptions, above the inscriptions on pedals, are four bronze busts: Front: Jefferson Davis; east, R. E. Lee; north, Albert Sidney Johnson; west, Stonewall Jackson.
The monument is 17 feet high including the bronze figure of a Confederate soldier which surmounts it. On the north side of the base are inscribed the names of the builders: P. Coppini, sculptor; Otto Zirkel, builder.
It is Texas made except for the casting of the bronze figures. The monument was erected by Lamar Chapter, No. 258, U.D.C. in honor of the Confederate soldiers who offered their lives, suffering hardships and privation such as only a Confederate soldier knew, while fighting for our rights.
According to the CONFEDERATE VETERAN: 'One of the handsomest monuments erected to the private Confederate soldier by any one chapter of the U.D.C. is that at Paris, Texas, by the Lamar Chapter. The monument is artistic, emblematic, and historic. The statue is a likeness of Mr. Fitzpatrick of San Antonio, who posed to Mr. Coppini, the artist, for the purpose. Captain O. C. O'Connor, who supervised the work of building the monument and the author of the inscriptions, served three years in the Confederate Army in the 19th Texas Infantry.'
