BIOGRAPHY: John William Conger was a noted educator in western Tennessee and in Arkansas. He was a graduate of Southwestern Baptist University of Jackson, TN in 1878. He was president of the Odd Fellows College at Humbolt, TN from 1879 to 1882. He was president of Ouachita College at Arkadelphia, AR.
In 1885 Southwestern University of Jackson, TN coferred on him the degree of A.M. (Vol. 2, "Notable Americans" by the Hon. Rossiter Johnson Ph.D & L.L.D. Editor in Chief, and John Howard Brown, managing editor, Boston Biographical Society).

BIOGRAPHY: John William Conger
There was no prophet of God, like Samuel to go under divine constraint to the home of P.D.W. Conger of Jackson, TN to appoint one of his sons to be a king, but there was just as truly a divine annointing, which came upon the kingly soul of John William Conger, a son of that home, for the work to which God would, in after years, call him.It is difficult for one who knows Dr. Conger, and has watched with deepest interest the monumental work he has accomplished, through the years, to speak in tempered language of the man and his successful life.
It is next to impossible to tell in a brief sketch, as this of necessity must be, what a great blessing this gifted and great man has been to the world.
Jesus of Nazareth gave us that standard by which to measure greatness, and by that standard the greatness of J.W. Conger has been, and is now, being measured.
"He that is greatest among you shall be servant of all." A great character and career must be judged solely to humanity in the name of the Master. Measured by that standard the subject of this sketch deserves to be called great.
He saw the light of this world on Feb. 20, 1857 at Jackson, TN. His parents, P.D.W. and Eliza Jane Chambers Conger, were consecrated Christians, who felt that God had greatly honored them in the gift of this child.
Like Moses' parents, "they saw he was a goodly child," and they sought to rear him for the glory of God.
In the city of Jackson, which was destined to become an educational center, Dr. Conger grew to manhood. He spent his early life in attending private schools, selling newspapers and helping in a newspaper office.
Later he attended Southwestern Baptist (non-union) University, where he took his A.B. degree in 1878. Three times in after years, did his Alma Mater honor him. In 1884 the university conferred upon him the A.M. degree, and later the honorary degree of L.L.D. and in 1907 unanimously called him to be president of the institution, where for two years he served with unusual success.
He saw "The Light that ligteth every man that cometh unto the world" in 1872 when he gave his heart in glad surrender to Christ, and felt impelled by the power of the Holy Spirit to make teaching his life profession.
Dr. Conger was first married to the daughter of Judge J.M. McKinney of Purdy, TN, but his wife lived only six months after their marriage.
His second wife, Tennie C. Conger, was a daughter of Dr. E.E. Hamilton, deceased, of Dyersburg, TN. Thirty-nine years they lived happily together. She passed to her rest May 25, 1923.
Five bright happy children have been given to bless their home, two of whom have passed over to the other side to await the glory the home coming of the other loved ones. All three of his gifted daughters are following in the footsteps of the father and are giving their lives to teaching.
Immediately after graduation, he took charge of the school at McNairy, TN and the following year accepted the presidency of Odd Fellows College at Humboldt, TN. He rapidly forged to the front as an educational leader, and in the summer of 1883 he helped to organize and become one of the managers of the West Tennessee Teacher's Summer School. In September of the same year he organized the Searcy College at Searcy, Arkansas and became the president of the college.
He was somewhat a pioneer in the field of education in Arkansas, and was doubtless the first man to travel over the state in the interest of a college, and to place the educational ideal in the minds and hearts of the masses of people.
Searcy College, although a private enterprise, grew rapidly, enrolling more [than] 300 pupils in the second year of its history. Dr. Conger sold his interest in the school to Professor W.H. Tharp and in 1886, again following his pioneer instincts, and led, as we believe, by the Holy Spirit, he organized under the auspises of the Arkansas Baptist Convention, a new Baptist College at Arkadelphia, Arkansas, known as Ouachita College. As president of this institution he served for twenty-one years.
As the presiding genius of Ouachita he did his most monumental work. The great stream of student life which flowed through this college for more than two decades was sweetened and blessed forever by the power and personality of this gifted educator and leader.
Handsome and commanding in appearance, charming in personality, keen witted and capable, tender and abounding in enthusiasm, Dr. Conger drew the pupils to him, with an irrestible power. He inspired them with an ambition to be and do something worthwhile in the world.
He helped them to believe in themselves and in God -- to lay themselves out to the limit to do something for the good of humanity and the glory of God.
The writer of this sketch has never met a man who believed more deeply in the office [sic] work and unfailing leadership of the Holy Spirit than Dr. Conger. He confidently believed he was led of the Spirit in all his life places.
Every evening for nearly three decades he has expounded the Scriptures to the student body of the colleges over which he presided and followed the lesson with an earnest appeal to the bright, aspiring young men and women to give God their best -- "to seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness."
Every year, when the revival services were being held in the local church, and sometimes in the college proper, he was seen day and night seeking to lead unsaved pupils to Christ. His passion for souls was so great that he seemed to feel that his life would be a failure if any pupil should graduate from the institution over which he presided without becoming a Christian.
While president of Ouachita College he dreamed dreams and saw visions of a greater day for Baptist education and influence in Arkansas. Before the State Convention and in counsel with his brethern in all the Boards he advocated the idea of locating at strategic points all over the state, Baptist Academies.
When he resigned the presidency of Ouachita College to accept the presidency [of] Union University, there were more than 1,600 pupils enrolled in Baptist schools in Arkansas -- a greater number than has ever been since that time.
Ouachita, the parent institution, had reached an enrollment of 476 pupils, 400 or more of these boarding pupils, and there stood on the beautiful campus of Arkadelphia, seven buildings, all erected during the Conger administration, and the curriculum of the college had been raised to standard character.
After Dr. Conger returned to Arkansas from Tennessee, he was elected president of Central College, the Baptist College for girls at Conway, Arkansas. Many of this friends in the state feared that the Baptists had called him to a life of sacrifice, and invited him to a field of failure, when they asked him to take this school. The school was almost completely dead. It was heavily in debt, almost without equipment and nearly destitute of patronage.
But the same indominable spirit that had made him a success everywhere enabled him to bring victory to Central Collge. He seemed to touch the institution with a magic wand, so marvelous and rapid was the change for the better.
In the nine fruitful years he has served as president of this college he has made it one of the leading colleges for women in the great Southwest, and he prepared the way for new buildings and greater growth. Near the close of the ninth year, to avoid a complete breakdown in health he resigned, and the Board of Trustees out of deep appreciation for the man and his services, elected him President Emeritus for life, on salary.
Dr. Conger for thirty years has served the denomination as a member of the Executive Board and other boards of the Convention, and for two years served as President of the State Convention. He also served as President of the Arkansas Teacher's Assn. He has always been recognized for his wise, constructive leadership. The man who lives the sacrificed life, who embraces all men in his loving sympathies is the man we delight to honor.
We would with loving hands lay upon his brow the richest crown of human gratitude and love, and we feel confident the "Crown of Righteousness" and the "Crown of Life" will be placed there by the One who shall "reward every man according as this work shall be."

(Source: The Conger Family of America, Vol. II, p. 122 - Maxine Crowell Leonard)OCCUPATION: Physician
BIOGRAPHY: Dr. James Bowers Conger Pioneer Physician
Dr. Conger was descended from a long line of physicians. His father, Dr. Thomas Dorris Conger, was Alsatian and his mother, Amira Manzie McCampbell was of Scottish ancestry. He came to Texas from Missouri in the 1850's. It is not known where he acquired his medical education, but it appears that he was qualified to practice when he came to Texas. Perhaps he "read medicine" with his father as this method of education was common in his day. He was highly respected by other physicians in the area.While on a professional visit to the David Mitchell home, Dr. Conger met one of the daughters, Miss Mary Caroline Mitchell. They were married on August 23, 1853 when she was 16 years of age. Their marriage license was obtained in Ellis County, but they travelled to Johnson County to the home of Rev. and Mrs. R.E. Sanders for the ceremony. Mrs. Sanders was a sister of Mary Caroline Mitchell.
He apparently did his early practice in Johnson County where he homesteaded his land. His pre-emption certificate is recorded in the General Land Office in Austin. According to this certificate, he lived on and cultivated this land from 1854 to 1857 to meet the pre-emption requirements.
During the Civil War the family lived in Freestone County. Dr. Conger served as a surgeon in Parker's Brigade.
About 1870 Dr. Conger sold his practice and moved to Ellis County, 1 1/2 miles S.E. of Red Oak. In the yard of this home he had a small hexagon building erected. This served as his apothecary shop as physicians in this day compounded their own medicines. His Pharmacapoeia is now in the possession of his great-great grandson, Dr. William Robert Hiatt, Capt. U.S. Navy. He usually made his calls on horseback, carrying his instruments and medicines in his saddle bags. Many times he would arrive home only to find he had to leave again. Several horses were kept, so that he would always have a fresh mount. During epidemics, such as Typhoid, he would be away from home a week at a time. When two-wheel carts came in, he bought one. This was considered a luxury, but it enabled him to take his wife along as nurse when he had an especially difficult case. The area covered by his practice was as follows: North of Red Oak to Bear Creek, West to Ovilla and Shiloh, East to Ferris and South to Grove Creek.
Dr. Conger was an artistic man and loved beauty, even finding splendor in lightning displays during storms. His home reflected his tastes. The Apothecary building had so much fancy work that it cost $500 to build. This was considered an extravagant price to pay for a one room structure, as labor and materials were quite cheap at that time. The grounds had a well built barn, an orchard, flowers and a grape arbor extending from the door to the style block, an attractive covered well house and a white paling fence. His home was considered a show place in his day.
He was inventive and ingenious. It is said that he developed a black rose by planting a dark red variety in a pot of charcoal. His wife and daughter had rings which he had fashioned from gold coins. He also made a belt buckle from a silver dollar. This buckle is in the possession of a granddaughter, Mrs. J.A. Conner.
Another granddaughter, Carrie Ross, was crippled. Dr. Conger took her to a blacksmith shop where he gave instructions for a brace to be made in the following manner: a rod was to be fastened through the heel of her shoe with an attached steel cradle extending almost to her knee. These two shell-like cradles were padded and fastened around the child's leg. This brace seems to have been advanced for the time which was sometime during the 1880's.
He always sought easier ways for doing the laundry and bought any new kind of washing device he heard of. Mrs. Conner recalls one on which the scrubbing was accomplished by means of two rollers, one smooth and one corrugated. These rollers were hooked onto two hardwood tubs and turned by hand. Each tub contained soap suds.
After Dr. Conger became paralyzed, he had his son-in-law bore holes in the ceiling above his bed, then run heavy ropes over the joist. Hand holds were attached to the rope ends by which he was able to move himself about in bed.
Mary Caroline Conger owned the first sewing machine in the area. It was not uncommon for her to look out in the morning and see a woman and her children arriving in a wagon or buggy. Women would buy material to supply all the family, cut it out at home, and bring it to Mrs. Conger's to sew on her machine. This meant several more to feed and more children underfoot. Often families would bring a patient to stay in Dr. Conger's home until he was much improved. Apparently Mrs. Conger had the patience and adaptability to meet these challenges, as she is remembered for her sweet and gentle manner.
The Congers were members of the Liberty Presbyterian Church which was located on Red Oak Creek near Rockett. After Dr. Conger's death his widow joined Bell's Chapel Methodist Church as it was nearer to her home. The younger children became members there also.
(Mrs. J.A. Conner supplied most of the above Conger data. She was reared by her grandmother, Mrs. J.B. Conger.) [Note: While the piece begins with the line, "From the PHARMACAPOEIA OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, pub 1851:" it is not clear which paragraphs come from that source and which come from the recollections of Mrs. Conner. Also, the identity of Mrs. Conner, other than being a granddaughter, doesn't seem to be revealed in CFA II. REH]

RECOLLECTIONS: Letter to Cousin, Sallie Jane (Conger) Ramsey
I received your letter some days since, but being from home at the time and most of the time since I have delayed answering it. I wish to know, first, the family and mother is still at Woodland (Post Office Tehuacanna). She was well last week. Bro. James (Bowers Conger) is at Red Oak himself and family were all well a few days ago. He is doing a good practice & is living in splendid fashion of the country where he can live well & be well -- As to U.A. (Ulysses Alpheus Conger) I can tell you nothing for I have not had a letter from him in two years. I have written time and again but get no reply.W. Overton is at Fort Worth. It has been some time since I saw him. He is highly pleased with Texas & doing well. As to myself, I am satisfied with the country altho I have had some hard luck financially, but I am like an old man in this town who got his store X 70000 worth of goods burned, said he didn't brake worth a cent, for he didn't intend to stay so, which word he has made good.
Texas as regards fruits is somewhat limited. The older settled portions are pretty well supplied especially the Northeast where there is a good supply of apples - peaches found in all parts, as apples will soon. Vegetables of all kinds everywhere - many persons don't have them because they don't plant -- hogs are easily raised more so than with you. I never hear any complaint here about not being able to make bacon. The bacon made here is equal in quality to any and I know of no reason why it should not.
Milch cows (ordinary) from 10 ' 20 lb fine blooded stock from 50 to 100 lb -- Horses, average from 60 to 125 lb outstock is seldom fed. I believe sheep are about (?). Beef 2 1/2 to 3 cts, eggs 20 to 40 cts owing the season - generally in this market 25 cts. Butter 20 to 40 cts per lb - bacon 10 to 15 cts - corn from 50 to 100 per bushel wheat 100 - Irish & sweet potatoes from 15 - 100 per bush. Labor for day $1 - 2.
Texas as a general rule has good schools, much better than they used to be in MO and within reach of everyone. Those who have not the means have some provisions made them ---- land very much in price owning altogether to circumstances -- frontier lands can be had from 50 ct to 100 -- the generality of lands in the older settled parts range from 2 to 5 dollars without improvement - there is always land & houses to rent on reasonable terms as many people in this section live entirely by their rents, some even furnish stock, ploughs, harness and in fact everything necessary to carry on a farm at a proportunate rent.
Having answered pretty much all of your questions as best I know how, I close with a few other remarks as possible, for having been to church tonight you may guess its bed time, besides I leave tomorrow to be gone 4 or 5 days. You did mention Uell's name but that was about all - if he writes any in your letter it faded out before I saw it. He must do better the next time - I do not remember to have even heard a word about Uncle Uell - would sometime you tell me something about him.
Sallie is in Dallas at her Grandpas yet. She will be back in Aug. Tommie has for some months been clerking in a grocery store but now in dry goods. I have 3 others Willie, George & Stephen D. we call him Dorris altogether.
If Bro J.B. (James Bowers Conger) has married again I have never heard of it. I know his wife is not dead unless it has been within a week past. Mollie (writer's wife) has gone to sleep & I shall follow her example -- so with kind regards & love to all I bid you good night. Your cousin, S.D. Conger.

OBITUARY: Nonogenarian Died Suddenly
Mrs. Jennie Craghead [sic Craighead] Passed Away at Home of Daughter, Mrs. A. G. Graves, Sunday. [24 Feb 1929]Mrs. Virginia Jennie Craghead, 90 years old a native of Callaway County, died suddenly at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Albert Graves, of Bluff street, at 10:00 o'clock Sunday morning. Her death came unexpectedly as she had not been ill. She had been active, both mentally and physically, until a week ago, when she suffered a fall and had been confined to her bed since that time.
A funeral service was conducted at 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon at the Ebenezer Baptist church, northeast of Fulton, by the Rev. S.S. Keith, and burial was in the cemetery at that church.
Mrs. Craghead's maiden name was Virginia Herring. [this is not correct, her name was Jane Frances Herring] She was a daughter of the late George Washington and Lucy Herring who came to Missouri from Virginia in 1835. She was born in November, 1838, three years after the arrival of her parents in Callaway County.
Mrs. Craghead was first married to John Congo [Conger] and to this union two children were born. They are: Lee Congo [Conger] and Mrs. Matthew Wright, both living east of Fulton. Her first husband was killed at Kenesaw Mountain, Tenn., [it's in Georgia] in 1863 [June of 1864] while serving as a soldier of the Confederacy.
Mrs. Craghead was married a second time to Benjamin Suggett, who died in 1875 [1877]. To this union, three children were born. They are: Benjamin Suggett Jr. of California, Mrs. S.P. Beaven of Kirksville, and O.B. Suggett of Fulton.
The last marriage of Mrs. Craghead was to Calvin C. Craghead who preceeded her in death by ten years. [fifteen years] To this union, two children were born. They are: Gertrude Craghead, who died in young womanhood [she died at age 5], and Mrs. A.G. Graves, with whom Mrs. Craghead has made her home the last few years.
Mrs. Craghead was a member of a family of twelve children, [I only have records of ten and no evidence that there were twelve...] three of whom are left to mourn her passing, They are: George W. Herring, and Dabney W. Herring, both living south of Fulton, and Mrs. Mary Gannaway of St. Louis.
