1858 Case VanAllstyne Conyne

Born: Oct. 18, 1858 at Prompton, Wayne County, PA Died: Jan. 5, 1940 at Woodburn, Marion County, OR He is buried at Belle Passi Cemetery, Woodburn, OR. Here is a transcription of his obituary. His father was Unknown. His mother was Unknown. He was married Sep. 14, 1880 to Mary (Mae) Pulis. They had four children together: 1881 Charles Warren Conyne b. Aug. 24, 1881 d. Jan. 1968 1886 Reed C. Conyne b. 1886 d. 1949 1889 Laura J. Conyne b. Mar. 19, 1889 d. Sep. 1977 1892 Helen I. Conyne b. Dec. 9, 1892 d. Apr. 22, 1992 The photo at top right appears to be his wedding photo, and if so was taken in 1880 when Case was 22 years old. Below is a photo of Case and Mae and other relatives, taken for their 50th wedding anniversary in September, 1930. Below that is a scan of the inscription on the back of the photograph, which I have also transcribed here for greater legibility: Back row: Marnie, Donni, Ruby, Caral, Reed C. Conyne, Paul Front row: Mr. Rhodes (Caral's father), Jud Balkeorn (or Balkeom), Case Conyne, Mae Pulis Conyne, Helen Conyne, Reed Conyne Jr. N.B.: "This was taken on our 50th wedding anniversary, so Laura and Warren are not in the picture". Helen is the one in "the middle row" by herself. The name "Warren" may refer to her son, (1881) Charles Warren Conyne. Note that the comment "Aunt Mae - sister of Oscar Pulis - she lived in Oregon" is written later and in a different hand, apparently by a niece or nephew. It looks like a woman's handwriting.
