History of Kentucky, five volumes, edited by Judge Charles Kerr, American Historical Society, New York & Chicago, 1922, Vol. IV, p. 301, Harrison Co. WILL F. CONWAY. The character of a community is largely determined by the class of men living in it, and judging from the finely cultivated farms and flourishing towns and villages in Harrison County this is one of the most desirable regions of Kentucky. One of the men who is devoting his energies to farming is Will F. Conway, owner of seventy-four acres of valuable land four miles northwest of Cynthiana. He was born in Mason County, Kentucky, June 28, 1858, a son of N. F. and Amanda T. (Jennings) Conway, both whom were born in 1830, he in Nicholas County and she in Mason County, Kentucky. They were reared in their native counties, but were married in Mason County, and settled on a farm there, where they lived for several years, and then, selling their first farm, moved to Harrison County. They were earnest members of the Christian Church. He always voted the democratic ticket, but aside from that did not participate in politics. Their three children are as follows: Will F.; Bettie G., who is the wife of J. W. Larkin; and Charles Lee, who lives on a farm 2 ½ miles northwest of Cynthiana. Will F. Conway was reared on a farm and attended the country schools. After his marriage he entered the employ of the Government as a storekeeper and gauger, but after a quarter of a century of faithful service resigned and is now attending to his agricultural interests, being engaged in general farming and stock-raising. While in the Government employ his duties took him over the sixth District. On January 11, 1905, Mr. Conway was married to Miss Kate Osborne, who was born in Mason County, Kentucky, November 16, 1874, a daughter of Charles and Lucy M. (Anderson) Osborne. Mr. Osborne was born in Mason County November 6, 1848, and died January 25, 1914, and his wife was born in Bracken County, Kentucky, and died when Mrs. Conway was six years old, she being reared by her maternal grandmother and attended the common schools. Besides Kate, there were three other Osborne children: Charles A., who lives with his sister, and Lewis P. and Bertha, both deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Conway have one daughter, Mary P., who was born July 19, 1906, and is a high school student. Both Mr. and Mrs. Conway and their daughter are members of the Christian Church. He is a democrat. During the time that he was an official Mr. Conway made a wide acquaintance, and among them made some warm personal friends, and these associations are still pleasantly maintained.
