Connley, Loraine (? - 28 October 1955) 
 

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Short attended the funeral of Loraine Connley at Soldiers Grove Monday afternoon.  He died very suddenly late Friday afternoon of a heart attack. 
 

He had been assisting his married sons, Gale and James, with logging.  The sons had cut the logs; and he was skidding them up with one horse.  He worked in the woods alone that afternoon and when he didn’t return home at the usual time his wife became worried and called the neighbors in whose woods he was working.  When they went to investigate they found him dead.  
 

Mrs. Connley formerly was Mrs. Vern Kegley before her marriage to Mr. Connley February 18, 1947, and was a resident of Clark County when the late Rev. Vern Kegley was the pastor at Loyal Methodist Church.
