Mr. Charles H. Conger, one of the best-known and most highly-esteemed men of Lincoln County, died after a few days' illness at the family residence near Mimosa, Thursday night, November 30, 1911, aged 44 years. Socially, he was a most agreeable gentleman, of courtly bearing of and exalted ideas of citizenship, which he put into daily practice and was admired by everyone - the list of his friends included everybody within his acquaintance. He was a man of greatest capability and versatility and could do anything that he undertook. He was a scientific farmer who employed the advanced methods and experimented for better ways, so that his residence in the community won the incalculable benefit. He was, in fact, the most valuable man to the farming interest in Lincoln County. Seeing the need of a high school in the neighborhood, he aroused public sentiment which resulted in the necessary money being subscribed. The he got up the plan of the house and superintended the construction of a stone building which is the best country district school house in Tennessee, that will ever stand as a monument to the energy and capacity of Charlie Conger. The remains were interred at Rose Hill Friday afternoon after service at the grave by Rev. J. M. Jordan and Dr. R. S Brown.
