From the book - HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY, MN. published in 1909:
H. E. Conley, M. D., of Cannon Falls, is one of those men who fulfill the highest ideals of one of the highest of callings. While choosing to attend quietly to his duties rather than to act in public office, the call to service has nevertheless reached him in so importune a manner as to make it almost impossible for him to decline the positions of trust and responsibility that have been thrust upon him. He is a trustee of the Cemetery Association, health officer of the village, and ex-president of the village council, having previously served four terms as an alderman and eleven years on the school board. He is president of the Goodhue County Medical Association and a member of both the state and national bodies also. Fraternally he associates with the Masons, in which he has taken a number of high degrees, the Modern Woodmen, the United Workmen, the Royal Neighbors, the Independent Foresters and the Modern Samaritans. Taking an interest in the industrial growth of the village he has become a trustee in the Cannon Falls Canning Company, and also has other financial holdings. Dr. Conley was born in Palo, Iowa, July 11, 1855, and received his education in the common schools, in the academy at Kossuth, Iowa, and in the Iowa State University at Iowa City, Iowa, graduating in 1884. At once after leaving college he took up the practice of medicine in his native town for a few months, and then practiced with Dr. E. C. Case in Waterville, Me., eight months. In November, 1885, he came to Cannon Falls and opened an office, at once becoming identified with the progress of village events. His office is well equipped and his practice is large in both village and township. Dr. Conley was married August 28, 1884, at the beginning of his professional career, to Sarah L. Dibble, daughter of Alonzo and Louise (Ahlers) Dibble, early settlers and substantial farmers of Cannon Falls, the father dying July 11, 1891, and the mother March 25, 1869. The Conley home has been blessed with the arrival of five children: Mira V., born September 16, 1885, died April 10, 1892; Emma L., born September 15, 1890, died April 8, 1892; Alonzo D., born May 24, 1892; Ora K., born February 19, 1894, and Lewis E., born February 16, 1900, all live at home. Lewis and Betsy (Hutchins) Conley, parents of H. E., were born in the northwestern part of New York state, and in the early fifties started west, living for a time in Sugar Grove, Cane county, Illinois, and then locating in Linn county, Iowa. From 1855 to 1871 they lived on a homestead in Mitchell county, Iowa, and then went to Kossuth, Iowa, where the father operated a saw mill, getting out lumber for the railroad.
