The burial was at Lake City in Dr. Roger's family lot. The pall bearers were: F H Griebie, W G Brownell, C O Wescott, M W Niederkorn, D O Smith and W J Fletcher.
    Miss Mary Etta Conway was born in the township of McGilvery in upper Canada on the 10th day of May A D 1846 and died at Farmington, on the 13th day of December A D 1903, aged 57 years, 7 months and 3 days.
    The parents of the deceased, Mr. Patrick Conway and Mrs. Margaret Conway, moved into the United States in October A D 1857 and located in Pepin, Pepin county, Wis. The deceased went to live with a married sister who was living in the townshif Gilford, Wabasha county, Minnesota in the winter of 1860-1. By her own efforts she fitted herself for the profession of teacher and followed it for eight years, teaching in the public schools of Wabasha county the greater part of the time. Miss Conway and H N Rogers M D were married on the 18th day of February A D 1872 and lived at Zumbro Falls, in Wabasha county, State of Minnesota until A D 1886, when they moved to Whitehall, Trempeleau county, Wisconsin.

    The deceased was generally beloved in the community in which she spent the closing years of her life.

Owing to her health, she was not able to do all she desired to help out the interests of those she lived among and loved, but the encouragement of her cheery interest was a great help in all matters of which she had knowledge. She will be long missed by a large circle of acquaintances and friends who mourh her loss and sympathize with her husband in his bereavement.

    Notes:

    At the time of the 1880 census, the Edwin Conway family was living in Cicero, Cook County, Illinois. Edwin was Vice-President of the Kimball Piano Company. According to the book "McNair, McNear, and McNeir Genealogies", Edwin Conway and his wife owned the Mason & Hamlin Piano Company (1923). The following is quoted from the website Greenline Wheels (http://www.greenlinewheels.com/poi/conway-grave) : Conway attended college intending to become a surgeon. He wed Sarah Rogers of Mauston, Wisconsin and they had three children. Quite by accident, Conway became involved with selling organs to farmers and was so successful that W.W. Kimball invited him to head Kimball's wholesale piano establishment in Chicago in 1875. Once settled, he became active in politics and served as president of the Cicero Town Board from 1883-1888. He later served on the Republican Central Committee in Cook County. Conway always remembered his early financial struggles and carried his lunch with him to the Kimball Piano Company office until he had $50,000 in the bank. He served as president of a railroad company, held top positions in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and became a leader in the Chicago Association of Commerce. He was also an early promoter of the first Historical Society in Oak Park, established in May 1898 but disbanded shortly afterwards. On his small gravestone is engraved "He loved his fellow men." He was a delegate to Republican National Convention from Illinois in 1896 and a Presidential Elector for Illinois in 1900.

    The following is quoted from the book "History of Illinois Republicanism: Embracing a History of the Republican Party in the State to the Prsent Time", by Green B. Raum:

    Edwin S. Conway, the Secretary and Manager of the great W. W. Kimball Company of Chicago, is known as one of the best business men in the city. Mr. Conway is proud of the magnificent success which the house that he has so long managed has achieved. He is a guiding hand in one of the largest business enterprises in the West, its splendid instruments being favorably known almost throughout the civilized world. Mr. Conway is one of the most pronounced fac-
    tors in Commercial Chicago ; he is a brainy man, who will brilliantly acquit himself in any position that he may assume. He is tactful, with an unusual endowment of good, common, practical sense. He has few equals and hardly a superior as an organizer of business, political and social courses. In the management of his vast business, in his political activity and as the head of social and fraternal organizations, he has been a power in directing toward the achievement of desired purposes. He is a man whose personality makes a deep impression and wins confidence.

    Mr. Conway has always been a Republican and active in the campaigns of his party. But his activity in politics is the patriotism of a business man. He could have office if he desired it, but his political purpose is not of a selfish character. He believes that every citizen and business man should consider themselves important factors in popular government, and should perform active duty for the party of their choice. His loyalty to the Republic is evidenced by his loyalty to the doctrines of the Republican party, which he sincerely believes is the party that will perpetuate our beloved institutions. In all activities outside of his business, he is prompted by a public spirit, a sincere desire to promote the interests of the public. In accordance with this spirit he was for six years president of the Cicero Town Board, but after this long service concluded that he had done his duty in this respect, and resigned two years before the expiration of his term in order to give more attention to his business.

    Mr. Conway is devoted to the principles of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and has given a large amount of time and energy to their advancement. He was a factor in the establishment of the Odd Fellows' Orphans' Home at
    Lincoln, Ill., and no man has been more liberal in support of the Institutions controlled by the Order. He has been Grand Master of the State, serving during the World's Fair year. He is Grand Representative to the Sovereign Grand
    Lodge serving from 1894 to date. He is a member of the Union League Club and was its Vice President ; and is also a member of Chicago Athletic Club.

    Edwin S. Conway was married December 25, 1871, to Miss Sarah J. Rogers of Mauston, Wis., a very accomplished lady. They have three children, Earle E., now with the Kimball Company; and Carle C., who graduated from Yale
    College in 1899, is also connected with the Kimball Company; and Sybil Sara. Mr. Conway resides in Oak Park, Ill., and has been intimately connected with the progress of that suburb for more than twenty-five years. He is a life trustee of the Scoville Institute of that town. Mr. Conway has been a member of the Republican State Central Committee and also of the Cook County Republican Central Committee. He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention held in St. Louis, in 1896, and in 1900 was elected a presidential elector on the Republican ticket.

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."

    Obituary:
    Norton Conway, stockbroker, housed many foreign students

    Memorial services for Norton "Uncle Tommy" Conway, 79, whose La Jolla home was fondly called the "Conway Hilton" because more than 500 foreign students were housed there over the years, will be at 3 p.m. Saturday in the International Center of the University of California at San Diego. Mr. Conway willed his body to the university's School of Medicine. He died Sunday in his home.

    Mr. Conway, a native of Evanston, Ill., and a 20-year La Jolla resident, started his career with a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, ran a bottling business in Trinidad, Colo., and had been a stock broker in Albuquerque, N.M., and Chicago. He worked for Shearson/American Express in La Jolla from 1963 until his 1979 retirement.

    He and his wife, Dorothy, known as "Aunt Dottie," were active in many foreign-student programs here and received several commendations for their efforts.

    Other survivors include two daughters, Merry Conway-Cosandey of New York City and Sylvia Jerace of Annapolis, Md.; a son, Vanderlip of Annapolis, Md.; and five grandchildren. The family suggested donations to the Friends of the International Center at UCSD.
