GEORGE CONN is one of the wealthy citizens of Lake county [Oregon] and stands at the head of several important enterprises. His birth occurred on January 31, 1840, in Cass county, Indiana.
His father, Henry Conn, was born October 12, 1816, in Lycoming county, Pennsylvania, and descended from an old American family, many of whom were in the various colonial struggles and especially in the Revolution. He came west to Hamilton county, Ohio in 1837, then was in Cass county, Indiana, about 1839, and in 1854, crossed the plains to Roseburg, Oregon, with teams. He took a donation claim near Roseburg and there remained until his death in May, 1896. He had married Miss Mary J. Stultz, who was born in Hamilton county, Ohio. She died on the old donation claim in 1898. Her birth had occurred on April 24, 1821. They were the parents of eleven children, nine boys and two girls and nine of the number are now living.
Our subject accompanied his parents on their journey to the west and received his education from the common schools, finishing in the Willamette University at Salem. Then he taught school for a time and in 1862 was on the crest of the wave that rolled into the Salmon river mining country. He traveled all through that section, through the Grande Ronde valley and the Walla Walla country, also visiting Florence and many other mining places, as Boise and Canyon City. He was at the last place in 1862.
In March, 1865, he enlisted in Company A, First Oregon Volunteer Cavalry, and went as escort to the parties locating the military road across the state. After that, he was at Fort Klamath, then went to Vancouver, where he was mustered out in March, 1866.
During his service in 1865, he was through this country, where Paisley now stands and August 18, of that year, camped on the site of the town. Indians, wild game, and grass were all that were here in those days.
After his discharge, he taught school and being a natural mechanic, did contracting and building. In May, 1872, he was appointed the receiver at the United States Land Office at Linkville and five years later the office was removed to Lakeview, where he continued until January, 1882, making ten years in that capacity.
In 1880, he opened a general merchandise establishment in Lakeview and in September, 1881, he moved his stock of goods to Paisley, where he has continued steadily since. He now has a large stock of goods and does an extensive business.
In 1886, Mr. Conn erected a fine roller flouring mill of fifty barrel capacity, which property he still owns. He has a fine eight room residence with some eight hundred fruit trees on the grounds. Mr. Conn has made a splendid success in raising fruit of all kinds and such vegetables as tomatoes and so forth. He has about eight hundred acres in his ranch, six hundred of which are tillable. About ninety acres are producing alfalfa and he also has some natural meadow on the estate. Mr. Conn has quite a bunch of stock and altogether is one of the most prosperous and wealthy men in this part of the country.
On February 27, 1887, Mr. Conn married Miss Margaret Sergent, who was born in the Rogue river valley in this state. Her parents are Conrad S. and Loetta (Houck) Sergent and are now living in Jackson county, Oregon, having been pioneers of the state in 1861.
Mr. Conn came to this country without means and by his own efforts unaided, he has made his splendid success in the business world which he enjoys today.
Note: Conrad Sergent was a miner in 1870, a general merchant in 1880, and a farmer in 1900; the family resided in Phoenix, Jackson Co., Oregon. Conrad & Loetta are buried in the Phoenix Pioneer Cemetery, Phoenix, Jackson Co., Oregon. No record has been found regarding George & Margaret's death and no burial info is available for Margaret.
