S.B. Conn, a resident of Brook for over thirty-five years, passed away at his home in west Brook, last Friday morning at about one o'clock, following an illness of about two weeks. Death was caused by blood poison.
During Mr. Conn's long residence in Brook, he gained a large circle of friends.
Funeral services were held in the local Methodist church at two-thirty Saturday afternoon and interment was made in Riverside cemetery.
The obituary, which was read at the funeral, is as follows:
Samuel B. Conn, son of Nelson and Amanda Conn was born in Clark county, Indiana, August 4. About 1885 he journeyed to Oregon where he met Elma Kays to whom he was married, in Salem, Oregon, January 13, 1887. In 1895, Mr. and Mrs. Conn moved to Brook where they have since resided.
Six children were born to them---Richard, Samuel, Margaret, Marie, Donald, and Randolph. Randolph passed from this life in 1915 and Marie in 1918. There are nine grandchildren.
In his youth Mr. Conn was baptized in the Methodist faith. He joined the local church in 1915. He was an industrious man and leaves many friends. A serious illness during many weeks of last winter left him in a weakened physical condition. He was unable to make the fight necessary to recover when a poison from some unknown cause developed lately and he passed from this life Thursday night, July 10th.
Mr. Conn was of a family of fourteen children of whom four sisters and one brother survive. Those of his immediate relatives surviving are: his wife, four children, Richard and Donald of Brook, Samuel and Mrs. Margaret Bell of Lafayette, nine grandchildren; the four sisters: Mrs. John McCabe of Brook, Mrs. Frank Kichel of North Dakota, Lorene of California, Mrs. Gene Steele of Kentland and his brother, Thomas Conn of Monticello.
Mr. Conn was of a jovial dispostion and will be missed by many friends.
