Jacob B. Conner was buried at Pennington Cemetery, Sigourney, Keokuk Co., Iowa.7,8,6 He was born on March 25, 1857 at Lancaster Township, Keokuk Co., Iowa.2,7,1,5,6 He married Dora Zanette Bucher, daughter of Aaron Bucher and Martha Jane Chastain, on April 6, 1884 at Keokuk Co., Iowa.7,1,5,9 Jacob B. Conner Another enterprising son of Daniel Conner, the pioneer whose lifework and achievements are recounted elsewhere in this work, was Jacob Conner, a brother of Samuel Conner, whose biography also appears herein. Jacob Conner was born March 25, 1857, in Lancaster township, Keokuk county, and has eversince made his home in the fruitful section of the Hawkeye state. His father twice married, his second wife being the mother of the subject of this record. Her name was Elizabeth Wyant and she was born in the Blue Grass state, moving however, when of tender years to Indiana. She was twice married, her first husband being a Mr. Pennington. By her first marriage she had three children, and six more were added to the flock in her union with Daniel Conner. Of these five are now living, Jacob Conner being the first born, and receiving an excellent education in the schools of Lancaster township.
He worked for his father until he reached the age of twenty-seven years, when he married Zanette Bucher, the daughter of Aaron and Martha (Chastain) Bucher, a history of whom is given in this volume. Mrs. Conner was also born in Lancaster township, Keokuk county, Iowa, on the 16th day of June, 1865, and has spent all of her life there. She received a very fine education in the common schools of the township. and from independentand study of her own selection.
After living on the old homestead about one year of his marriage, Mr. Conner and his wife located where they now live, and by his industry and good management improved and built up his farm until its appearance, efficiency and value it ranks with the best in the township. In the year 1900 he built the handsome residence now there and put into it all of the modern improvements and many convienences dictated by the taste of himself and his wife. He has also built a finely appointed barn thirty-six by sixty feet in dimensions and has constructed many other good buildings upon the farm, which consists of one hundred and sixty acres as well as some timber land.
One child, a daughter, was born to them, whom they named Mattie Elizabeth; she is still unmarried and at home, and is a very accomplished and attractive young lady. In their beautiful home Mr. Conner and his family keep abreast of the times and fully informed upon all matters. They are liberal in their views upon political and religious questions and present good examples of the progressive, prosperous and leading people of the county. Mr. Conner is in politics a Democrat; is widely known throughout his section of the state, actively participating in matters of public interest. He has been a member of the school board for several years, during which time he has contributed much to the success of the educational methods employed, an has assumed many other responsibilities in behalf of the county. in 1903.5 He died on October 19, 1936 at Sigourney, Keokuk Co., Iowa, at age 79.8,1,6

Samuel F. "Sam" Conner1,2,3
M, b. November 9, 1837, d. September 19, 1923
Father | Daniel "Dan" Conner4,2,5 b. May 4, 1814, d. March 6, 1898 |
Mother | Jane Cross4,2 b. 1814, d. February 14, 1853 |
Samuel F. "Sam" Conner was buried at Conner Cemetery, Sigourney, Keokuk Co., Iowa.6,2,7 He was born on November 9, 1837 at Tippecanoe Co., Indiana.2,7 He married Mary Elizabeth Jordan on October 9, 1859 at Sigourney, Keokuk Co., Iowa.6,2,5 Samuel F. "Sam" Conner Among the many well-to-do and able farmers on Lancaster township none have attained a more enviable reputation for integrity and general ability than Samuel Conner. The interests of township and county have been closely identified with his history from the early days. Coming as he did in the year 1844 to Keokuk county, when the pioneers were just begining to settle here, it early developed upon him to lend his arm and his brain to the development of the lands and institutions of the new country.
He was born on November 9, 1836 in Tippecanoe county, in the state of Indiana. His father, Daniel Conner, was born and reared in Ohio until he arrived at the age of nineteen, at which time he settled in Indiana. in 1843 he again moved to Iowa and in the year 1844 settled in Lancaster township, there being at that time almost no settlers in that part of the state, so that it was necessary to reclaim the land and clear it for farming. The father of Daniel Conner was of Irish descent and spent the greater part of his life in old Virginia, dying in Iowa in advanced years. Samuel's mother died when he was a very young boy so that he remembers little about her and her family, except that she was a woman of fine qualities and well connected.
He was one of four children, there being two daughters and one son besides himself. He came to Lancaster township at the early age of nine years, long before schools had been developed as they are now. He, however, made the best use of all opportunities presented to him in the old log schoolhouse. He remained upon the farm at home assisting in its multitudinous duties until he arrived at the age of twenty-three years, when he married Mary E. Jordan, who also came from Keokuk county when a small child, being a native of Illinois. After his marriage he at once located in the old farmhouse about two hundred yards from where he now lives and here he has remained throughout the years following, giving all of his times and energies to the care of his large family. Nine children in time were gathered at his hearthside, six daughters and three sons. There were Oliver, now dead, Lottie, wife of John W. Scott, a prominant farmer of Lancaster township; Rohena, wife of W. B. Morrow, also a prosperous farmer in the same township; Eva, now dead; Daniel F., who is doing a successful business in Hayesville as a dealer in fine horses; Tima, wife of C. D. Parkhill of the same township; Iona, now dead; Effie, who is unmarried, and Isaac A. remains at home.
Mr. Conner has always been a successful and representative farmer, now owning two hundred and eighteen acres of finely cultivated land, which constitutes one of the best farms in the adjacent country. In political beliefs he has been throughout his life an ardent Democrat and has rendered Democracy many invaluable services and has held various important office in the county. The large family of children born to Mr. Conner, while adding to his responsibilities and labors, must prove a source of great gratification to him. Any parent might well be proud of a life-work exemplified in children of character and attainments of these, and as the years go by upon the old homestead, the subject of this record, surrounded by the many evidences of this life-work and its successes, may well say "It is well." in 1903.5 He died on September 19, 1923 at Sigourney, Keokuk Co., Iowa, at age 85.6,2,7
