Posted on: Hancock County, Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Hancock/1281 Surname: ------------------------- There are several Conns buried in Majorville Cemetery. I have them listed but don't have their tombstones pictured yet. Orpha B. Bullock is also buried there; she was the daughter of Caroline Conn and James Bullock. I have placed on her page the obituaries of Caroline and James. These obits include information which may aid your search. Also, from Scofield History of Hancock County, 1921, page 1170: Conn, George V., veterinary surgeon, who is engaged in the active practice of his calling at La Harpe, is one of the leading men of his profession in Hancock county. He was born at Mediapolis, Des Moines County, Iowa, February 14, 1888, on of the nine children of Marlow M. and Mary E. (Hamilton) Conn. Marlow M. Conn was born in New York state, but he later moved to Iowa, and was a farmer. The mother was born in Indiana. George V. Conn attended the common and the high school of his native place, and then entered the McKinley Veterinary College, from which he was graduated in 1911. Immediately thereafter he entered upon the practice of his profession at La Harpe, where he has since continued, and has been very successful in his work. Dr. Conn was married to Miss Clare R. Claycomb, a daughter of Harry E. Claycomb, and they have one child, Cathryn B., who was born June 6, 1914. The Doctor and his family belong to the Methodist Episcopal Church. In politics he is a Republican. Upright and carefully trained, Dr. Conn not only is an excellent veterinary, but he is also a good citizen and man of sterling principles. I am not directly researching the Conn family and have no additional information. Link: Deep Roots in Hancock County URL: <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~majorville>
