He was the youngest of six children born to Daniel and Mary Confer and moved with his parents to Beatrice, Nebraska in 1884. There he was an active member of the Free Will Baptist Church.
On March 12, 1907 he was married to Jessie Huetson at Firth, Nebraska. They were the parents of eight children - four sons, Claude and Paul of Culbertson, Merle of McCook, and Harold of Bellevue, Nebraska; and four daughters, Alice Wallen of McCook, Fay Bailey of Stratton, Gladys Graves of Denver, and Norma Bradshaw of New Orleans, Louisiana -- all of whom, with his devoted wife, mourn his passing.
He is also survived by 17 grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; one brother, Howard of Crawford, Nebraska; one sister, Mrs. Mattie Morical of Yuma, Colorado; and six nieces and nephews.
In 1919 he moved with his family to a ranch southwest of Culbertson, where he remained active until his death.
He became a member of the Methodist Church and served faithfully with the religious work of the Stone Church while it functioned and took an active part in the Culbertson Methodist Church, of which he was a member.
Mr. Confer was known to his family and friends as a man who was firm in his convictions and beliefs. His service to his community will long be remembered.
