Dixie Lamar Conger

OCCUPATION: Vice President of American National Bank and Trust Company of Chattanooga, TN. CFA I, p. 36a

RESIDENCES: 1201 N. Joiner Road; Chattanooga, TN 37421

BIOGRAPHY: Excerpts from "The Chattanooga Times," 25 May 1965
Dixie Lamar Conger was born in the true Southern tradition. Before the days of hospital births, he was born in the same room, in the same house, as his father and his grandfather. His grandfather and his father were both born in that room and died in it. Dixie was born Jan. 25, 1910. His grandfather, Sion M. Conger, was born on the same day, a hundred years earlier. [Note: The information about place of birth of the father and grandfather and about grandfather and grandson being born on the same date, doesn't agree with information supplied for these two gentleman in the CFAs. REH]

Dixie's father was a farmer and banker, president of the bank of Fayetteville. He had one of the first automobiles in the town and he drove it regularly to work. Although Dixie had farm chores to do, he rode into town every Saturday with his father to see movies and enjoy the social life of the town. One day, with a dime store cap pistol he held up the bank, demanding a nickel from every employee. His father took a dim view of the prank and sent him home, still wearing his cowboy suit.

Dixie attended a big three room public school, which was built of limestone donated from a quarry on his father's farm. It was one of the first schools to offer free transportation to students. A colored man driving two mules hitched to a wagon picked up the children every day.

Later, Dixie went to Lincoln County High where he became class orator and was graduated in 1928. He then enrolled in the University of Tennessee but in 1931, during the Depression, he was forced to drop out for lack of money. He later finished his fourth year of college in the evening school of New York University. At UT he was a member of Phi Kappa Sigma social fraternity and Delta Pi, an honorary school of business fraternity.

Although during his high school years his father let him drive the family Overland, which he used to roam all over the county, he still had farm chores to perform and helped build some five miles of stone fencing around the farm.

Because his grandfather had to stand good for some notes of friends, much of the land had to be sold, and only about a thousand acres remains. But the fence, plus two stone barns, built from the farm quarry, "will last for a thousand years," Dixie says. Some of the stones in the barns are 15 inches wide and 17 feet long he recalls.

His memories of the University of Tennessee are highlighted by one fact that as a freshman he "was the smallest boy on campus," weighing only 85 pounds. But the next year he suddenly grew up. He also recalls that he got arrested for soaping streetcar tracks in Knoxville while at UT.

Dixie majored in agriculture at UT, where the late Dr. H.A. Morgan was department head. He later became chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Dixie says his father and Dr. Morgan were good friends, and that the TVA dream was hatched on the front porch of his home in Fayetteville.

Dixie had always expected to follow his father into the field of banking and after he left UT he joined a securities firm in Nashville which has since become the First American Bank. Two years later, in 1933, the firm transferred him to its branch in Knoxville. Suddenly, during an outing to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, Dixie became dissatisfied with things and on an impulse went to New York City.

There he walked into the offices of Standard Statistics (later to become Standard and Poor) and got a job immediately. The president turned out to be a man from Fayetteville. Dixie's trip and subsequent hiring was so impulsive he had to come home and get his clothes.

His first job was to analyze the credit of the state of Maine, and he made recommendations which the state adopted. Later he was assigned an account which turned out to be Mary Pickford's. Still later he established the municipal bond department for what is now Chase Manhattan Bank, and a program which is still used as a yardstick for bond sales of small cities and towns.

He wanted to come home and when, in 1939, he heard of an opening here at Volunteer State Life Insurance Co., he applied and was accepted. He stayed there until 1943, when he joined American National Bank and Trust Company. In 1952, he was promoted to his present post of assistant vice president.

A a party in New York City he met Florence [sic] Hoyt of Des Moines, Iowa. She was working as a secretary to the Campfire Girls of America. Her father was an Iowa banker and state treasurer.

He and Eleanor were married about a year and a half later, in the Lincoln Chapel of New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. purely on impulse. Neither of them had been in the church before: they just agreed to meet there to get married. They are members now of St. Martin's Episcopal Church, where Dixie served as a warden last year.

They live on a small farm, which is Dixie's hobby now, plus working around the house and raising peacocks. The expensive birds ($35.00 a pair) tend to roam and Dixie has a little trouble keeping them home.

Dixie is fascinated by his job, which involves the buying and selling of bonds for the bank, for customers and for correspondent banks. He estimated he has bought and sold more than $1 billion in securities since he has been with American, and he makes investments ranging from $25.00 government savings bonds to a million or more for customers. Except for the hometown insurance companies, Dixie probably buys 75 per cent of municipal bonds bought in Chattanooga in a year's time.
