David Conner and his wife Claudie
 David
was born in April of 1896, eldest son of James
Jr. and Anna Wise Conner.
Growing up
on the family farm, David was expected to do his share of the
work on the family farm; and as other children of his day, he
was only able to attend school during the months he was not needed
to help with the crops. Thus reaching the level of a 2nd grade
education (learning to read and write) was considered enough.
Inheriting
land from his father, David followed as a farmer, growing food
and raising livestock to feed his family. He also worked as a
cab driver in Marion for over 50 years.
