Mr. O'Dell:
Thanks for your e-mail regarding the Conway family.
I do know Michael Daley quite well. When I began researching my ancestors
about 5 years ago I quickly discovered that he is the expert around this
area. He's helped me very much.
Small world - reading a recent version of the Osgoode Township Historical
Society Newsletter, I see an article written by yourself regarding the
Conways.
Do you have this article saved on a disk? If so, could you e-mail a copy to
me for my web site on Irish pioneers in the Ottawa area?
Was there a George Conway married to Mary Ritchey (spelling?) in your
ancestry?
They had 3 children between 1838 and 1844 in the Ottawa area and then seem
to have disappeared. I just mention it because the surname Conway caught my
eye.

Al ...I just talked to Mike's wife - but Mike was away till tomorrow.
I wanted to see that there was no objection on his end about the article.
As far as meself - no problem. I'll have to find it on a cluttered HD - and
will await a clearance from Mike as well. Just dug up the article -and -
I must say - after a re-read - that contributor - Matt O'Dell - writes an
interesting article - he has all his ducks in a row [;-)
You will hear from me soon. Matt
Matt: Looks like an example of the Irish gift for literature ... Al {:-]

CONWAY, James 1795-1880 (Article in OTHS Newsletter)
Can you send me the article or give me more info????

Rick:
Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the article on disk to e-mail to you.
The article was written by Matt O'Dell (who lives in the U.S. somewhere I think).
He said he would send me a copy to put on the James Conway page, but so far has not.
The article appeared in the Osgoode Township Historical Society Newsletter within the
past couple of years.
Your best bet would be to contact Matt O'Dell (e-mail address on the James Conway page).
If he sends you a copy, could you pass it along to me as well?
Otherwise, the Historical Society at oths@magma.ca will have a copy, although maybe
only a hard copy.
Failing this, I have a hard copy here (too long for me to type now). If you can't get
a copy of it, I could snail mail it to you.

Thanks Al!
I will contact Matt as well. I'm trying to trace James Conway back to Ireland.
He was my Grandfather's (James W. Conway) Great grandfather. James had John who had
Lawrence (see below ... Al) who had James W. who had Robert who had me. Ugh.
Confusing. Anyways, thanks for writing back! I'll send it to you if I get it...

From Cathy Joynt Labath's Web Site:
Around 03/22/1928, Newspaper unknown:
Late Lawrence E. Conway Led Useful Life Genial and Ready
Served on County Council of Defense and County Mutual Board
In our last issue we mentioned briefly as we were going to press, the death
of L.E. Conway of Vernon township which occurred Thursday forenoon. The funeral
was held on Saturday. Services were conducted in the Catholic Church at Graettinger,
the pastor, Father J.J. Kelly celebrating a requiem high mass and preaching an
impressive sermon in which he paid a fitting tribute to the worth of Mr. Conway
as a member of his church and as a citizen. He was assisted by Rev. Leo McEvoy (from Osgoode)
a relative of the deceased. The burial was in St. John's cemetery south of this city.
There was a large attendance of relatives, old neighbors and friends. The pall bearers
were Geo. Kliegl, john Goeders, Andrew Gappa, Peter O'Leary, Martin Laughlin and
Michael Foley.
Note: Peter O'Leary, Martin Laughlin (McLaughlin) and Michael Foley may also be from the
Ottawa, Canada area ... Al
