Clinton Conn
(1903- ? )

Clinton Conn was born on Dec. 9, 1903 in Jersey Hollow near Confluence, Somerset County, PA, the son of Alexander Wilson and Susannah (Harbaugh) Conn.

Clint married Melda Hostetler ( ? - ? ).

The Conns must have occasionally attended the annual Harbaugh Reunions, which had begun in 1926 and were a tradition in the family. In an August 1954 letter to a relative, Clint's mother wrote: "We was at the reunion last Sunday. My 2 girls was their and Jess and Clint, Nora youngest boy Wilson and his wife and children..."

Seen here, Clint (at far right) poses with his brothers Jesse (left) and Lester, date unknown.

In an October 1955 letter from Clint's mother to a relative, she wrote this update on family visits:

... yesterday Clint and his wife and family was here for dinner. Iva still lives at Kingwood and Gertrude still lives at Confluence and Lester still at bible school and Jess still at McKeesport... One of Nora's boys and his little girls was here the other Sunday to see us. Well we was glad to see them come.

In a Jan. 22, 1956 letter, Clint's step-father, Jesse O. Strickler wrote that "Clint and his wife and son was here to see Mam last Sunday."

Nothing further is known about their lives.
