Biography

Francis was the older of two children born to John and Nellie McGowan Conroy.[1] He grew up and attended school in Hancock, Minnesota, where his father had a well-drilling business.[2]

According to the Hancock Record, Francis took over his father's business around 1930.[3][4] He was running the business and living at his parent's home in 1940. [5]

Francis married Agnes Regan when he was 35 years old.[6] They are the parents of seven children.

He had been living in Starbuck Minnesota, but died in Appleton, Minnesota, perhaps at the home of his daughter.[7] He is buried in Calvary Cemetery, Morris, Minnesota.[8]
