Ref: Grand Rapids Herald. . Leonard L. Conkey, D. V. S., M. F., Dean of Grand Rapids Veterinary college, & one of the leading veterinarians of the state, was born in Arlington township, Van Buren county, Mich., on the 8th day of May, 1851, but was left an orphan at the age of 6years. He passed his boyhood days on the farm of his uncle, Leonard L. Halsted, at White Oak, Mich., a small place on the M. C. R. R. Between Lawton & Decatur, where assisting in clearing up a 160-acre farm, he learned to work. Attending only a part of three or four winter terms of school, in a small country school-house, his early education was limited. In the spring of 1868, he took a position on the Niles Democrat, edited by A. J. Shakespear; although politically a democratic sheet, at that time it bore the name of 'Niles Republican.' In the winter of 1858-9 he worked on the Lawton Tribune. He was next found industriously working at house, sign, ornamental & portrait painting. At this time he had acquired a fine turnout for moving his painting equipments, drawn by a beautiful pair of matched roan horses. One day "Mack" his favorite horse, was found sick (Page 108) & unable to move, one veterinary after another was called, until the supply from the county was exhausted, yet poor Mack grew worse instead of better. Dr. F. A. Leaser, a graduate of the Berlin Veterinary college of Germany was called, he diagnosed the ailment, acute laminitis, prescribed for him & the horse made a quick recovery. This little episode with Mack & the common "hoss-doctor" said too plainly that there was a demand for good talent in the field of veterinary science. In the spring of 1878, he therefore began the study of veterinary medicine & surgery, at Bluffton, Ohio, under the instruction of Dr. Leaser. After studying two years he began practice at Findlay, Ohio, where the greater part of practice was surgery. From Findlay he returned to Michigan, was in Niles for a few months with Dr. T. A. Bunbury, he then located in Dowagiac in 1884, meeting with marked success for a year & a half, when reverses overtook him, by which he lost both social & financial standing, he quitted the town, moving to Benton Harbor in 1887. While at the Harbor he completed the MS for a book on which he had been at work for several years, & in the year 1889 came to Grand Rapids & had his book published. In the same year he opened an office in the Lovett Block, opposite Sweet's hotel on Canal street. Since coming to Grand Rapids the doctor's life has been as an open book before the public, & it can be said of a truth that he has regained all & even more then he lost in Dowagiac. In the meantime, however, the doctor has visited many towns in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan & other states as a specialist in surgery, & has been called from Grand Rapids to New York, to perform a single operation. Since coming to Grand Rapids the doctor has taken a college course, entering the Detroit college of medicine veterinary department, in 1895. Dr. Conkey organized the Grand Rapids Medical college in 1897, in which he still owns the controlling interest. Associated with him are about thirty of the leading physicians & veterinarians of the city. The institution grants the degree of M. in the medical department, D. V. S., in the veterinary department & M.F. in the farrier's department. Dr. Conley was elected dean of the veterinary department of the college by the board of trustees in 1898 & the prospects of the college are exceedingly flattering, as the doctor is one of the most widely known veterinarians in the middle states. . The doctor's matrimonial adventures in early life were not all that could be desired, in fact, they were more like those of Columbus & others that might be mentioned, whose lives have been devoted to science, rather than to the study of human nature; however, he was united in matrimony with his present wife December 7, 1892, she having borne the maiden name of Nellie M. King; this union has been blessed with two children: Opal Checora & Alger B. Conkey. Miss Opal, the elder, at four years old, can name & locate all the bones in the body of the horse, a remarkable thing for one so young. Dr. Conkey joined the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in 1877, is a part grand of Bluffton lodge, No. 371, having filled the chair during the year 1882 & is at present a member of Phoenix lodge, No. 12, at Grand Rapids. He is not connected with any church organization, & in politics is independent. . Veterinary Practice: As an operator Dr. Conkey is unquestionably one of the most clever surgeons of the age. One of his favorite operations being that of abdominal cryptorchidy (riddling castration), while general surgery, in its many phases, is performed without seeming effort, or loss of life, his success, being truly wonderful. With such a man at its head, the success of the Grand Rapids Veterinary college is assured. The college is substantially fitted with lecture rooms, dissecting rooms, laboratories, hospital & horse-shoeing departments. Domestic animals, with all manner of ailments, are taken in, treated until well & cared for at the pleasure of the owners. The farrier's department is a leading feature of the college. Having a special provision in the charter, the trustees confer upon those gathering from this department the degree of master farrier (M F). Students in the veterinary department are required to attend the lectures in this department, that they may know & become familiar with, ailments of the feet. No man is more devoted to his home & family than is Dr. Conkey, who idolizes his children & is devoted to his wife, providing all that heart can wish. His habits are temperate & he is never away from home except on business, returning at once when business is over. As an inventor of veterinary instruments Dr. Conkey has considerable merit. His first invention was the Emasculator, designed to take the place of the French instrument called the Ecraseur, used in animal castration. His next invention was the Conkey securing harness & operating hood. Then he fashioned the Conkey self-holding automatic chain buckle. These, later combines, have a worldwide reputation; with them & animal, regardless of his size or disposition, can be laid on a blanket at every trail. On the index page of J. Reynder's catalogue of veterinary instruments, of New York, are listed the Conkey's incisor cutters, Conkey's instantaneous trachea tube, etc. It is evident that Dr. Conkey has done more during the last 20 years for the profession than any other one man. Now that Dr. Conkey is at the head of a veterinary college, the eyes of professional lights in the United States are turned on him, watching with interest each step, he has already proclaimed many reforms in college work. . Obituary Leonard L. Conkey Dr. Leonard L. Conkey died at his home in Marne, Mich., June 6, 1924. He was born in Arlington, Mich., May 8, 1857. Dr. Conkey founded the Grand Rapids Veterinary College, in 1897, became president of the institution & later was graduated from it, not previously having had a veterinary degree. He had attended the Veterinary Department of the Detroit College of Medicine for one term, but left this institution, with Dr. Hugh Rutherford, about 1897, to start a veterinary college in Grand Rapids. This was run as a 2 year institution until 1903, when the course was lengthened to three years. Graduates of the 2 year course were first recognized by the A.V.M.A. in 1911. Regarded as a genius in some respects, Dr. Conkey was a very skillful surgeon, his ability in this field being built upon his deep knowledge of anatomy. He traveled all over the US to operate upon valuable race horses. On one occasion, while in England, it is reported, he performed an operation on a hunter owned by King George. Dr. Conkey invented the hobbles which bear his name, & the equine operating table, now known as the Simplicity, is the outcome of his inventive skill. Dr. Conkey was always a turbulent figure in veterinary affairs in Michigan. Some will remember his attending one of the meetings of the A.V.M.A., about 20 years ago. Dr. Conkey was not a member, nor was he eligible to membership at that time. After his return home, he had his photograph taken in Prince Albert coat & high silk hat. Then he had the photographic plate retouched in such a way as to show him standing in a heavy snow-storm, indicative of his cool reception at the convention. He sent copies to a number of the prominent members of the Association. It was quite characteristic of him. He leaves a widow & one son.

| 14876 | Letter from John Lawrence.xii to Cousin Valentine Harden Tisdale : "Dear Cousin, To Val Harden Tisdale, Yonge Street, December the 26th, 1837 I often have been talking about the Revolutionary War, but we have had a Rebel war in earnest. Pappa heard on Saturday night [i.e. Dec 6, 1837] about 9 o'clock that the Rebels intended to attack the City in the course of the next week. He went in early on Monday to inform the Governor who called his Counsel together immediately & said that it was the first information he had received that he could depend on. Father informed them the Rebels might come tonight. Sure enough about 9 o'clock at night they began to parade down the Street past our house. [i.e. Lawrence Ave East & First Con. Yonge St.] We had just got in bed when there came a tap at the Door. When Father jumped & opened the Door there came in a good Tory* saying that the Rebels was all going to take Toronto. We all muster up directly & went to all the Loyal Fellows that we knew. That night I went out to get another man on the Second Concession West. The Rebels was going down that Road. We laid down by the fence to let them pass. They came within about 8 feet of us where they made a full stop & said this is not the place, turned off to go to Montgomery's Wharf, where they took their Stand. [Montgomery's Ave: Yonge just north of Eglinton Ave. West side.] That night Father sent Peter & our hired man to 2nd Con to warn along that line to get into Toronto as early as possible in the morning. Uncle Perine & Colonel Moody called at our house & told Mama he intended to go the Governor that night unless they killed him. They had a guard placed across the Street at Montgomery's Tavern. [i.e. a couple of miles south.] When Uncle & the Colonel came up they Bid them stand, but the Colonel in forcing his way through was Shot thought the Body by the Rebels. Perine immediately wheeled his horse & topped [jumped] over the fence & ran his horse to the Governor's house & gave the alarm that the Rebels was coming. Father & Mr. Bond was all night along the Street laying by the sides of the fence whenever the Rebels would pass. They crept along the side of the fence until they came within a few rods of the Rebels guard & lay for about 2 hours expecting to get some information respecting their attack, but all their talk was what a fine fellow McKenzie was. We all returned home just before day & got our Breakfast. On Tuesday morning five of us took into the woods & went up hills & down dales till we came into the City. At the Market Buildings we found the Governor with 2 guns in his hands & the Chief Justice Robinson & all the rest of the Nobility with their firelocks in their hands with their Cartridge Box & Baronets by their sides & a fine lot of Good Loyal men all getting Arms. We all immediately got our Army formed into a Company & marched to the Garrison. That night Father was placed officer of the guard & the next Morning placed on picket guard where we was kept till about 8 o'clock at night. The next morning that word was for action. Capt. McClain came to my Father & wished him to go with him on the west flank of the Army as he was acquainted with the ground which he readily complied with. When they say the Army coming up Yonge Street, the Rebels ran down in the woods to flank them not expecting that we had a flank of about two hundred men coming out of the woods upon them. As soon as our Cannon began to play in their faces & our flanks on their backs, they took to their heels for their life. We believed there was upwards of a dozen killed & several wounded. Sir Francis Bond Head led army into action like a Gallant General & when Prisoners was taken he allowed them the Greatest leniency. The Army all marched up above Hoggs Mills & then returned, except a few that pursued McKenzie & took his horse & burnt Gibson's House & Barn. Montgomery's Buildings was all burnt to ashes but we must not forget that MacKenzie began the burning & burnt Doc. Horn's house, or the thirty men who killed one of the Rebels & wounded several others & the Rebels had to retreat. The Rebels came to our house several times with a full determination to have Father's Gun & Sword. Mama took care to have the Gun & Sword hid. They plundered all through the Neighbours, but all they took from us was one powder Flacks. MacKenzie threatened to burn our house the day the Battle took place. Uncle Perine was here yesterday & said that all our relations was well up there [i.e. further north on Yonge Street] & Sarah C. is not married yet. She is waiting for you to come down. You must answer this as soon as you can. The Family joins me in love to you, Uncle, Aunt & Cousins. For John Lawrence."

He Gave $2,000 Bail & Will Spend Sunday at His Time Wm. Henry, the Portsmouthh man who was robbed of $1,000 at his home, 1200 Marsac St. early yesterday morning by an unknown burglar called at police headquarters & preferred a complainant against Levi G Felker, charging him with the theft. What evidence the police dept. has, in any, is being kept a secret. It is stated that Mr. Felker's house was thoroughly searched yesterday afternoon without discovering the slightest trace of the missing gold, silver & paper money which Mr. Henry claims he so carefully laid away in the little drawers in his room. The Sunday Bay City Times is informed that Mr. Felker has been a resident of this country for more than a quarter of a century & has always been an honest, hard working & industrious man, having the respect of all who knew him. While living in Essexville he was twice elected president of the village. Mrs. Felker & daughter called at the police station yesterday afternoon with John E Kinnane, who has been retained to conduct the defense. ... The defendant was arraigned, entered a plea of not guilty, & was held in $2,000 bail for his appearance Sep 1 at 1 o'clock. Mr Felker then departed with his wife & daughter for home. "Why didn't you keep your money in the bank?" asked the Sunday Times of Mr. Henry. "Will, I will tell you. A few years ago when the banks all over the country were failing, the banks of this city united in an agreement making it impossible for depositors to get their money without giving them notice a certain time in advance. I had about 1 $1,000 in 3 certificates of deposit, intent to use them from time to time as I wanted the money. When I presented one of the certificates, I could not get the money & it bothered me a good deal, & since that time I have been keeping my own money. I last saw the money on Thursday. I had a little money came in & I put it with the rent. What beats me is the fact that the burglar overlooked all of my mortgages, notes & other valuables while he took pains to take Mr. Felker's private papers & spread them out on the kitchen table."

After a conference between Prosecutor Gilbert & Police Justice Kelly, it was decided to discharge the defendant. The police justice said that the evidence thus far taken was not, in his judgment, sufficient on which to hold the defendant to the circuit court for trail.

The snow was between 3 & 4 feet deep in the woods, the thermometer was 30 degrees below zero.We used frequently to hear the wolves in pursuit of the deer; tow or 3 times got parts of the deer which they had been unable to devour. the sound of the wolves in pursuit is a good dal like that of a pack of foxhound, only more melancholy & more like a howl. they are very seldom seen. We often saw deer. They are easily tamed if taken young - but get very troublesome. We had several turtle feats. the porcupine is very good eating, very like a rabbit. Raccoon is not bad but rather rich & strong tasted. during the first interleaf bread was very scarce. although we had no bread, we had potatoes, oatmeal, salmon & lots of venison. Mr. Alpaugh, of Garafraxa, used to be a great hunter in those days & as he passed our house on the way to Fergus we got the first offer of his game. Stoves were hardly known. The big black pot & bake kettle were the chief culinary instruments. Our first experience of (militia) state labor was realized in 1835. We busted together & marched to a pretty little stream. Our hands blistered nicely, but we just pricked the little blobs on the balsam trees & rubbed them with that. They healed wonderfully. Our dinner consisted of died deer fa]ham which old Mr Black provided, with bread , scones & crop.

Mr. Trerayne, who succeeded Mr. Pettit, writes : Elora, May 1853, Dear Sir: Having now been for 6 months in the Mission, I wish to submit to your Society some account of what has been done during that time. Upon my entering on the Mission, I have in all 15 stations, through eight townships, viz, Egremont, Arthur, Garafraxa, Erin, Woolwich, Peel, Wellesley & Maryborough, all of which I have been enabled to visit monthly during the winter & to the station in Woolwich I have given a week-day service in addition to the Sunday. Have given up at present on account of the smallness of the congregations, & one other also I visit but once in 2 months, leaving me therefore at present but 16 monthly services. The want of roads, & the difficulty of arranging stations within reasonable distances of each other, prevent the Missionary from doing as much as he would otherwise be able to perform. ' this want is particularly felt in Wellesley - in which place I am forced to walk through the woods, between the stations, a distance of ten miles in Summer, & in Winter have to go a round of six miles further. In the Spring & Fall the roads are almost impassible, being a heavy clay soil - a horse being unable to get along, on account of the very deep mud & loose crossways. But amid the difficulties at the worst seasons of the year, the Missionary must feel thankful that God has appointed him as an humble means of gathering together the scattered flock of Christ. He soon forgets his weariness in the warm welcome which is always given, & in the pleasure of seeing a godly congregation gathered round him, despite of mud, & rain, & darkness. & it is gratifying to find. ... > In Garafraxa they have raised the means for building, & this week have advertised for tenders, & hope to have a church ready for worship by Winter. With the exception of two union churches & one court room, all the services are held in school or private houses. I find a lamentable ignorance displayed with regard to the way in which the church in Canada is supported, - the most part think that all the lands called Clergy lands belong to the church, & that the proceeds of all go to the church. And continually the question is asked me - Why does not the government build us a church? Why is there not a stationed minister among us - have we not plenty of church lands for a Hector and to support him? .
