He was twice married, his first wife being Grace Hughes. She died in 1933. On Nov. 16, 1935, in Suffern, NY, he married Ruth F. Armstrong, the Rev. O'Dale King, DD, officiating. He was the last of a family of seven. Mrs. Connor survives with several nieces and nephews. Funeral will be Saturday at the Prince & Boyd Funeral Home with the Rev. Jennings B. Reid, DD, First Presbyterian Church pastor officiating. Interment will be in the Rome Cemetery.
