Gooch Harman said that Conner was a dentist and had an office in Galax. His drill was powered by a device similar to a stationary bicycle. Conner was appointed acting postmaster in 1924 for the Woodland post office. Any additional information about Conner and his wives would be appreciated. Were there any children?

Nothing is known about Octavia except that she married 14-Nov-1889 John Anderson Goad by whom she had 7 children prior to Conner. After Conner's death she married 15-Aug-1934 Homer Anderson Gardner. She was old to have had children by Conner. She was generally referred to as "Aunt Tavy". She is buried in Isaac Webb Cemetery in Carroll County, VA.
