  Notes	Carle Conway is mentioned in the book, "Pianos and Their Makers", by Alfred Dolge (Covina Publishing Company, 1911), in a discussion of the history of the Hallett & Davis Piano Company: "After the death of George H. Davis on December 1, 1879, the business was incorporated. Under the management of E.N. Kimball as president, C.C. Conway, treasurer, and E.E. Conway as secretary, the concern has recovered its old-time prestige and is counted among the most progressive of the present day." Carle served as Chairman of the Continental Can Company from 1930 until 1950. Carle Cotter travelled frequently, as his name appears on many passenger lists.
