Sod Connor Died in Corn Field

The body of Sod Connor was found in his corn field Thursday by a neighbor who saw his team roaming around the field and surmised that something was wrong.

From the evidence obtainable, it is thought that he had been dead since Monday, as he was known to have gone out to pick some corn that day and had not been seen from that time until his body was found Thursday. He had been shopping in Farnam on Saturday. The body was taken to the Chester Hugo mortuary in Gothenburg in preparation for burial.

Adam Earl Connor, son of Simon P. and Lucy Ann Connor, was born January 7, 1876 in Indiana County, Pennsylvania and died at his home near Farnam on November 15, 1943.

He came with his parents to Nebraska in 1885 and first located near Eustis, later moving to a community southeast of Farnam. He had lived and farmed in Nebraska with the exception of about ten years spent in Kansas.

The immediate relatives surviving him are; a sister, Mrs. Sadie Brown of Farnam, and five brothers, Wilbur of Lewellen, Nebraska, Milton in Kansas, Charles in Idaho, John in Washington, and James of David City, Nebraska.

Funeral services were held in the Methodist Church of Farnam on Sunday, November 21st at 2:30 pm, with Rev. E. H. Tipton officiating.

Interment was in the Farnam Cemetery.
