THOMAS NEWELL CONARROE
A man deserving honorable mention in this book is THOMAS N. CONARROE, of Lauramie Township, Tippecanoe County, who was born in Wea Township, this county, November 21, 1854, the son of JOSEPH and SARAH (WALTON) CONARROE, and the grandson of JOB CONARROE. The latter came to Tippecanoe County, Indiana, when a lad twelve years old, having entered land in Wea Township, becoming in time one of the progressive pioneers of the county. He was a man of strong characteristics, as was also his son Joseph, the latter having been a man of enterprise, a prosperous farmer, and a man of influence in his township. He became the father of four children, namely: CHARLES, who lives in Montgomery County; THOMAS NEWELL, of this review; JOB, who lives in Randolph Township, this county; LIZZIE, who married WILLIAM SCHULTZ, is now deceased, having left two children.
THOMAS N. CONARROE was reared and educated in Wea Township, having gained a fairly good text-book training in the common schools. He remained at home assisting with the work about the place until he moved onto a farm on Wild Cat prairie, in Sheffield Township, where he remained for three years, getting a good start, and then moved onto his present place one of the richest and best improved farms in the township. It consisted of three hundred and seven acres and yields abundant crops from year to year under MR. CONARROE's skillful management. On it stands a comfortable and substantial dwelling, amid beautiful surroundings; also a large barn and other outbuildings in good repair. He carries on general farming and stock raising in a manner that stamps him as an agriculturist of no mean ability, and, besideds living comfortably, he is laying by a competence for his declining years.
MR. CONARROE was married in 1883 to ANN E. LUCAS, daughter of GEORGE LUCAS, a well known resident of Sheffield Township, this county, and to them was born a son, PORTIE, who died at the age of eighteen months. MRS. LUCAS received her education in the common schools, and she has proven to be a most faithful helpmeet to her husband in managing their fine farm and she keeps her home tidy and neat at all times. She is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Stockwell. In politics MR. CONARROE is a staunch Republican.
MR. and MRS. CONARROE are people who look on the sunny side of life, ever hopeful that the good will rule instead of the bad, and as a result of such fortunate dispositions they make it pleasant for those whom they may chance to meet and who visit them in their beautiful home.
