No reason for his action is given other than poor health, relatives stating that he had been in a despondent mood for some time past.Mr. Conger who was about 64 years of age, had been suffering with a hacking cough and had said to his wife that it was his belief that the cough would kill him. However, yesterday morning he was in his usual health and went to his shop to complete the work of setting up, or stuffing, two ducks. Mr. Conger's occupation being that of taxidermist, for which work he was known throughout the state.
When his wife went to the shop to discuss the noon menu she found this notice on the door: "Dear Clarkie: Don't come in her alone. Send for help. I am going away forever. Don't feel too badly for I shall be at rest. Billy."
The evening before he had written a long letter to her of endearment and consolation -- touched upon personal affairs in a business way, instructions about caring for their poultry, with keys labeled and feed measured out in readiness to be fed as she new nothing about their care.
At one time Mr. Conger was captain of the Barlow Grays of St. Albans, holding the office for many years. He was also at one time captain of the Uniform Rank of Knights of Pythias.

RESIDENCES: 1850, South Nashville, Davidson Co., TN, his age was given as 38 (1812) (CFA II, p. 63)
RECOLLECTIONS: From family recollections: During the Civil Way, Charles Conger was taken prisoner in Virginia near where his brother, Captain George P. Conger, of Co. B, First Vermont Cavalry was stationed. George was so incensed to think his brother would fight on the side of the South he refused to go see him. However, nephew Warren Conger, also in Co. B, did go to see him. When Charles heard how George felt he took the Oath of Allegiance to the U.S. and was paroled.
So far as we know, nothing was heard from him since that time. (by Marion Barton)
Charles, while on his way south, saved a plantation owner's daughter from drowning when she fell overboard. He later married her and settled somewhere in the South. He was probably the Charles H. Conger who died 30 Jul 1865, age 47, and was buried in the Nashville City Cemetery.
