Deaths
Allen S. Conner, a former citizen of North Vernon died at his home in Indianapolis last Sunday after an illness of many months. It is thought that the shock caused by the death of his brother J. B. Conner, just a week previously had weakened him a great deal and hastened his death. He was born on a farm near Vernon, January 28, 1833.
At the out break of the civil war he enlisted in the twelfth Indiana and was captured with the entire regiment at Richmond Ky. The regiment was exchanged and it was for bravery at Vicksburg, that Mr. Conner was promoted to a second lieutenacy. He was postmaster of this city under General Grant's administration and was the editor of the Plain Dealer for several years. He was also a member of the city council.
Mr. Conner was twice married. A widow and one brother survive him. The remains were brought to this city Wednesday and taken to the home of the late F. L. Conner, West Walnut street from which place the funeral was held at 2 o'clock.
