The Lord blessed Father with
noble ancestors. He was of Welsh
descent. In the lang uage of one
who knew we write the following
of his noble ancestors:
For generations back our an
cestors have been good and noble
people. l have heard grandfather
John Conway say that his ancest-
ors fought under Oliver Cromwell.
Grandfather had five brothers, l
think, who fought through the re-.
evolutionary war. | heard him say
he was the youngest son, and was
eleven when the battle of York
town was fought, and saw Corn
wallis army as Washington and
Lafayette marched them through
his fathers plantation.
They lived in Fauquier county,
Virginia. Grandfather was a good
man; used to preach sometimes,
was a great Bible student, could
repeat chapter after chapter by
memory. Tho beauty of it was,
he conformed his life to it's holy
teachings. Nearly 1l0l
years ago he with his wife, newly
married, and an old family servant
and her child crossed the Alleghs-
ny mountains on horseback and
came to the wilds of Kentucky i
" finally settling in Trimble
county, Kentucky, in the hills
three miles South of Madison, In
diana. Madison was not thought
of then. There on a small, rather
unproductive farm he raised a
large family, five sons and two
daughters, named William, Polly,
John, Peter, Thomas, James, Ma
ry. In 1912 he buried his wife
and two small children III the
same grave. He was left in
a bowling wilderness with, seven
small children, the oldest Is. No
stores, no factories, no steamboats,
then.
1t was in 1912 my mother saw
the first steamboat that came down
tho Ohio river "a sorry affair.
Grandfather had to raise flax, spin
and weave the fax for clothing.
Deer were abundant and he used
their skins for pants and shoes,
and raccoon skins for hats"
One of the these seven children
came to Union county, KY, and
settled near Morganfeld, Thomas
Conway, the father of John w. |
Conway, the subject of this tri-
butte. His mother was Cornelia
Cornell. My father was born of
this happy union Oct IA, 1914.
He was the only son of a large ia |
mily. Grandfather was we'll known
by the former citizens of Union |
county, and they showed to him /,
their high regard in many ways.
He was elected sheriff of the coun |
ty several times and represented
the people for three terms in the
State Legislature.
He was firm Baptist and a
man of noble mould.
In 1870 father was happily mar |

W.Conway, Berry L.Conway, Mr.
9th McMurry; children at home
Maggie, Bette, Hugh, Barbara
Joe and Hal. All are christians
but Hal, and he is young. Yet
the Lord will no doubt call him
by his grace.
Papa is gone,
"Death hides but he can not di-
vide;
They are but on Christs other
side,
They are, with Christ and Christ
with me,
In Christ united still are we"
The living are the only dead,
The dead live-never more to die;
And often when we mourn them
fled
They never were so nigh"
Papa loved the farm. Well
do | remember reading him James
Whitcomb Riley's famous poem on
the Clover, and when | came to
this beautiful verse he wept;
"And so | love clover-it seems
like a part
| OF the sacredest sorrows and joys
of my heart;
And wherever it blooms, oh there
let me bow
And thank the good God as I'm
thanking him now,
And 1 pray to him still for strength
when | die
To go out in the clover and tell it
goodbye,
And lovingly nestle my face in it's
bloom,
While my soul fits away on a
breath of perfume,
He loved his stock-oattle, hogs
and horses. How lonesome Bet
tie, his horse, looks; the pigeons
he fed each morning and that
lighted on his shoulders, oh! how
lonesome; his fsvorite dog seems
to have given up as he lies and
waits for his master. The fields,
the barns, the garden and flower
beds all seem to miss him. The
place seems strangely changed,
but memories as fresh and sweet
as the dews of heaven linger with
all these thihgs.of him,
II cannot think Of him as dead
Who walks amid these scenes nc
more,
Along the path of life | tread
He has but gone before.
God hath given to love to keep
It's own eternally.
Then let Love clasp Grief lest
both besdrowned."
HIS life on earth is over. We
miss him and our hearts are torn
and bleeding; but the will Of. God
be done. He doeth sill things we'll.
Now We see as through glass,
darby; but we shall know. Never
has there crossed my mind doubt
of his eternal welfare. but | feel
and know that he is
"Safe in the arms OF Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast.
There by his love Ger Swallowed
SwSetly his soul shall rest.
Hark! tbs the voice of Angels
Borne on a song to me,
Over the fields of glory,
Over the jasper sea"
He fell with his armor on, in
the midst of the battle. He fought
a good fight; there was no long
evening to his life.
He has passed over the river and
rests under the shade of the trees.
And I'VE shall meet.our.. loved and
own,
Some sweet day, some sweet day,
Gathering round the great white
throne,
Some sweet day, some sweet day
BY the tree Of life 30 fair,
Joy and rapture everywhere,
o, the bliss of over there.
Some sweet day, some sweet day.

June 8:
The Japanese bombardment June
of the coast between Senyuchen and

June the Japanese continued

| appeared before the town on the south
side, but were checked by a very sue

Japanese infantry then began ad-

and came in contact with the Cos

position to the south, but after firing
few rounds was silenced by our
battery. A second Japanese battery
did not succeed in getting into action,
| but was compelled to evacuate its po-
sition under the fire of our guns.
In the course of the fight flank
ing movement by several battalions
of Japanese infantry was observed
northeast of Siuyen, threatening our

Cossacks gradually withdrew five
miles from Siuyen, keeping up their
