Souvenir Edition, The Williamstown Courier, Williamstown, Ky, May 30, 1901, reprinted September 19, 1981 by the Grant County KY Historical Society. R. P. CONRAD is the son of I. R. and Elizabeth (Conyers) Conrad, and was born in Grant County, Ky., August 13, 1854. He has followed pastoral pursuits all his life, and at the present time owns a farm of 350 acres on the Baton Rouge turnpike, northwest of Williamstown, which is acknowledged to be one of the best, if not the best, farms in Grant County, and he tills it on scientific principles. He is a large tobacco grower, and the product from his farm for the last ten years would fill the biggest warehouse in Cincinnati. His crop always sells for the highest market price. Besides his tobacco, he grows all sorts of farm cereals, and feeds and fattens large numbers of fine hogs and cattle each year for the markets. Mr. Conrad was educated in the common schools and has a fair education. He keeps abreast of the times on all subjects of general and local interests, and is in every way a model citizen and a model farmer. He was married October 8, 1884, to Miss Renaker, and they are just as much sweethearts today as they were fifteen years ago before they married. Two children have been born to them, both boys, and they are handsome and manly youths. Mr. and Mrs. Conrad have been members of the Primitive Baptist Church at Dry Ridge for many years and both live up to the teachings of that church. In politics Mr. Conrad is a Democrat, has always been a Democrat, and always expects to remain one. He is a generous, kind-hearted gentleman, always has a good word for all with whom he comes in contact. Conrad Renaker Conyers = none http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/grant/conrad.rp.txt
