WAYNE CONNER

Wayne Albert Conner, oldest child, and only son of Walter H. and Sylvia Gibbs Conner was born May 22, 1905 at Humeston, and died Dec 3, from result of the accidental discharge of his gun while out hunting in the vicinity of Humeston.

He is survived by father and mother and three sisters. He was the only living grandson on his mother's side.

Wayne was a boy of unusual sedate manner. He loved his home, rarely ever being away even for a night, and was especially devoted to his mother. At school he was a commendable pupil, and a universal favorite with every one.

Funeral service was held in the Christian Church where his mother is a member, also his sister Thelma. Altho lately attending the M. E. Sunday School, for years he has been a regular attendant in the S. S. being a member of Sister Geo. Garner's class of boys who as "Live Wires" have attracted attention throughout the S. S. of the State for their unusual record.

After the service the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Green Bay cemetery. Surely in this sad hour the family have the universal sympathy of everyone.
