BIOGRAPHY: John W. Conger
Among the many industries that have employed the hand of man, none are more ancient, more widely followed, and more necessary for the sustenance of the race than those of raising stock and farming. Grant county, [OR] has a wide awake, progressive and intelligent company of patriotic citizens who have given themselves to the prosecution of these industries and prominent among them is the gentleman of whom we now have the pleasure of writing and who has been instrumental in assisting materially in the development of the resources of the county and its substantial progress, as well as demonstrating his ability and good financiering in handling his own private affairs.Mr. Conger was born in Lane county, Oregon, on March 7, 1861, being the son of Permelia (Hall) Conger, who migrated to that county, whither they had come from their native state, Indiana. Remaining with his parents, in working on the farm and in attendance upon the public schools, the minority of John W. was passed, and in 1879 he came direct to this valley and settled on his present place, which is six miles from Longcreek.
He took a pre-emption and also a homestead, and then bought one hundred and sixty acres more, which gives him the generous estate of four hundred and eighty acres. To the improvement and cultivation of this land he has given his careful attention since and the result is that unbounded success has been the meed of his endeavors.
In addition to this he handled sheep for two years immediately succeeding his advent here, then in company with his brother they handled them on share for eight years, wherein he has prospered continuously, owing to his vigilance in every detail and his sagacity and executive ability in manipulating the enterprise.
After the close of this time he sold the entire bands and alone bought cattle, which he has been handling since with his accustomed success and prosperity. His fine farm is well improved, having a comfortable house and large barn and other accessories.
The marriage of Mr. Conger and Miss Olive E., daughter of John P. and Harriet V. Baird, of Sumpter, occurred in October 1888, and they have become the parents of three children: Willard M., deceased; Addie B., deceased; Sadie Marie.
In 1881 Mr. Conger's parents removed from their donation claim in the Williamette valley to Longcreek where the mother is still living, but the father died in 1895. Mr. Conger is a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, at Longcreek. He is one of the substantial and successful men of the county and actively interested in public matters, every manifesting uprightness and integrity.
