LIEUTENANT-COLONEL ELI T. CONNER.


LIEUT .- COL. ELI T. CONNER.


When the first proclamation was issued by President Lin- coln, calling for troops, in 1861, Carbon County, like other communities, gave forth one great throe of patriotism. In the excitement of the moment, when hundreds were ready to follow, they cast about them for a LEADER,-who was capa- ble of taking command. Captain ELI T. CONNER, at that time commanding officer of the " Anderson Grays," was ac- knowledged to be the man for the occasion, and to him the masses looked. He opened a recruiting office, and in twenty- four hours had recruited three full companies of the best young men of the county. He declined the offer of a field office, preferring to remain with his company. He served during the three months' campaign as senior Captain of the 6th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers.


Upon the expiration of his term of service, Captain Con- ner, (in connection with Colonel James Miller,) organized the gallant 81st Regiment, and on its completion was com- missioned Major of said corps. On the Peninsula, he served with distinguished bravery, from the battle of Fair Oaks, to the final great and fearful struggle at Malvern Hill, where he fell. Immediately after the battle of Fair Oaks, Major Conner was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, after which he commanded his regiment in all.the battles during the cam- paign, until his death. Colonel Conner was born in Luzerne County, in 1832. His father, William Conner, settled in Mauch Chunk shortly afterwards, and died here in 1833. He was educated at Wyoming Seminary at Kingston, Lu- zerne County, and also subsequently attended a military school at Bristol, Pa. He was engaged as a civil engineer on the Lehigh Valley Railroad during the construction of the road, and was afterwards appointed Acting Engineer upon the slack water navigation of the Cape Fear River, in North Carolina, by Mr. E. A. Douglas. The climate not agreeing with him, he only remained in the south about a

year, and returned to Mauch Chunk. Subsequently he again entered the service of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, and in the winter of 1859-60, he made the survey of the Penn Haven and White Haven Railroad.


'His first connection with the military of Carbon County was as Lieutenant of the " Carbon Guards" at Summit Hill. Having removed to Mauch Chunk, he was elected Captain of the " Cleaver Artillerists," which position he filled with much ability, until the fall of 1859, when the company was disbanded, and a new company organized-the " Anderson Greys," of which corps he was again elected Captain. When the war broke out, Captain Conner immediately signified his determination to enter the service of his country, and nearly every member of his company, with over two hundred others followed him.


Kind, prompt, intelligent and brave, no better officer, or truer friend to his country, fell during the war,
