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.
