I found this sad note in the Dayton (Ohio) paper this morning. This gentleman was a wealth of information. Many of this list's Breathitt/Perry/Lee/Clay etc ancestors were part of his book and geneaology CDs. William G. O'Connor, 72, a longtime resident of Trotwood (OH) passed away peacefully Friday evening April12, 2002 at Hospice of Dayton. William had been a math and science teacher for over 30 years, having taught most of the time with the Trotwood-Madison Schools. He was also a veteran of the Korean Conflist, member and past president of the Civil Service Commission and was proud to have been a published author with his book, "Dozens of Cousins." William is survived by his devoted wife of 38 years Mary; son and his wife Samuel and Michelle of Miamisburg OH; daughter Kara E. O'Connor of Trotwood; special grandchild Alexander; sister Marie Smith of PA. And many more nieces, nephews, relatives, and special friends. Funeral services will be held 10:30am Tuesday at the Union Pentecostal Church 1100 N. Union Rd. where William was a member. Rev. Clifford Hurst presiding. Friends may wish to call at the Rogers Funeral Home, Trotwood on Monday from 5-8pm. If desired, contributions may be made to Hospice of Dayton in memory of William.

I just returned home from my dear uncle William O'Connor's funeral. My cousin Anthony as a post on Breathitt CO Genealogy Page that explains what a great man he was. William O'Connor's son Samuel and I are getting together more information on his life and work. We will try to have it in the Jackson Times and the KY Explorer. He will be sadly missed by his family and all that knew him. > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
