CONNOR, JOSEPH MARTIN - Tribute to Uncle Joe Connor by Eli Hargrave - (Edited) Joseph Martin Connor was born in Hopkins County, Texas, near Flora, Oct. 1, 1857. He was a grandson of Ishamel Connor of Indiana, and son of Henry and Mary Miller Connor, she being the daughter of Mike and Elizabeth Miller, pioneer resident of Hopkins County. Mr. Connor was first cousin to Harvey Miller and J. Bennie Williams. On the death of his father in June of 1863, he was left with a poor chance of literary learning, though by his energetic labors and untiring efforts he gained some of the advantages of an education. A few of his boyhood days were spent in the State of Arkansas, the most of his life was spent in Hopkins County, Texas. At the age of 24 he was married to Lavina Tucker, Feb. 17, 1881. She was the daughter of V. D. and Elizabeth Tucker of Nelta, at that time called Pleasant Hill. Mr. and Mrs. Connor reared seven children to be grown, one son and six daughters. One of the girls, Ida, was taken to her reward at the age of 19, Feb. 15, 1908. The other children survive, the mother being taken by death, Feb. 19, 1910. Their first born died in infancy, and the third child died at the age of two years. Surviving are: the son, Elmer, Mrs. Brodie McClendon, Mrs. Charley McKinney, and Mrs. Grady Henry of Sulphur Springs, Mrs. Wm. Lemon Jr. of Pleasant Grove, and Mrs. Claud Logsdon of Ada, Oklahoma. He was a member of the Methodist Church of long standing, in fact, since early childhood, and many times have we enjoyed the Sunday School class at Nelta under his direction as Superintendent. We have been associated with him for more than fifty years, and it has always been our pleasure to honor and admire him as our good friend.
