  WILLIAM J. CONLON, born December 14, 1873, in New London, Waupaca county, Wisconsin, and now living on 180 acres of good farming land in section 24, Deer Creek township, Outagamie county, is a son of Michael and Margaret (Cooney) Conlon, the former a native of Ireland and the latter of the State of Indiana. They were married in New London, Wisconsin, whence the father had come when twenty-six years of age, Mrs. Conlon having come here in the early days with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Conlon lived in New London until 1895 when they bought the place now operated by William J. Conlon, but in 1901 they returned to New London, where they still reside, the father being seventy-two years of age and the mother fifty-six. With the exception of the six years spent in Deer Creek township, Mr. Conlon was in the employ of the railroad company at New London during his residence in this country. William J. Conlon was the eldest of his parents' nine children, and he remained at home with his parents, taking charge of the Deer Creek farm in 1901, in which year he was married to Mary A. McGlone, daughter of Patrick and Ellen (McMyler) McGlone, and born February 11, 1879. Six children have been born to this union: Margaret, Mary, William, Alice, Edward and Richard. Ever since his marriage Mr. Conlon has continued to reside on this farm, and he now has seventy acres cleared and under cultivation and all fenced with barbed wire. He does general farming, markets dairy products, hogs and cattle, feeds his grain and hay, and raises Durham cattle, Poland-China hogs and Percheron horses. He built his modern frame house of eight rooms, 16x24 and 16x26 feet, in 1899, and the barn, which was one of the buildings on the place at the time of its purchase is a structure 30x50 feet. Mr. Conlon is a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters and of the Fraternal Reserve Association. He is a Republican in politics and is now chairman of the township board of supervisors, and has served four previous terms on the board, during two of which he was chairman. He and the members of his family are consistent attendants of the Catholic Church of Helena, a mission of St. Mary's Catholic Church of Welcome.
