1645. Leonard S. Conger
Leonard S. CongerBIOGRAPHY: Leonard S. Conger was the first man to carry the United States mail from Salt Lake City to San Bernardino, over the Old Spanish Trail. During the years 1851-52 he rode the difficult and dangerous route, often entirely alone. The writer has often listened with rapt attention while this man related the thrilling experiences which he passed through while riding over the desolate stretches which the road crossed. He knew the water holes and scattering patches of grass, and would often stay over, during the day, in some open space, where he could watch for Indians, while his animals grazed and rested, and when darkness came, press on through the more lonely and dangerous places.
Upon one occasion, after leaving Las Vegas, he was followed by Indians, frequently exchanging shots with them, and did not remove the packs from his animals until he reached Gunlock, in Utah, a distance of 150 miles. He related that upon one occasion he met a company of emigrants at the Vegas who had engaged in a fight with Indians, in which a white woman had been killed. She was buried and the train moved on. On his return trip Conger found the remains of the woman, which had been disinterred by the Indians, propped up against a cottonwood tree. He re-buried the body, but as he passed the point again, found it in the same position as on his previous trip. Three times he buried the remains of the unfortunate woman, before they were permitted to rest in peace.
It was on this Old Trail, on the Mojave River, south of the Vegas, that Franklin B. Woolley was killed in March, 1869, by Mojave Indians; and over the lonesome and dangerous road his younger brother brought the remains to St. George, for interment, an example of devotion and courage rarely equalled.

Job C. CongerNAME-CONFLICT: Listed as: Job C. Conger in CFA I, p. 280; others may have listed his name as, Job Clifton Conger
NAME: According to his granddaughter, Gertrude M. Conger of Phoenix, NY, "Job Conger assumed the initial "C." to distinguish himself from his cousin, Job, son of Reuben Conger, as both lived in the same town and were deacons in the same church. It is said to mean "Canada," he being called "Canada Job," from the fact that he was at one time a miller in Canada, residing near Queenstown, at the time of the battle in which his younger brother, Enoch, was captured.

CHURCH_AFFILIATION:
On June 10th, 1825, a number of persons met at the schoolhouse in District No. 3, Hannibal (Oswego Co., [NY]) for the purpose of forming a religious society -- by the name of CONGREGRATIONAL SOCIETY OF HANNIBAL -- of the six trustees in the second class was JOB C. CONGER. He was also one of the two presiding officers at the meeting. This organization was required by law before they could proceed with building a meeting house.They evidently had been meeting as a group for several years previous to this for the records show that Job C. Conger was elected Deacon on Feb. 20, 1822. He was a trustee from 1825 to 1830.
When the seats of their new church were put up for bids Nov. 26, 1826, Job C. Conger bid in seat No. 2 for $70.00. On April 8th, 1828 Seat No. 30 was sold to Davis Lyon, SILAS CONGER, Abner Hollister and Augustus Ferris. Ferris was a resident of Cato and Hollister a resident of Meridaian. It seems as if the church solicted funds from prominent business men of the neighboring towns.
On a church list dated, June 12, 1826, Job C. Conger, was recorded as one of the members but after his name was the notation that he left the Society in 1831. Silas Conger was the brother of Job C. Conger.
