  DR, CONKEY DIES IN CALIFORNIA Pioneer Appleton Dentist Dead in Far West After Long Illness Dr. W. L. Conkey. 65, pioneer Appleton dentist, died about 7 o'clock Wednesday night at .Monrovia, Calif., where he went a little more than a year ago, according to word received by relatives here Thursday morning. The telegram stated that funeral services will be held at Monrovia Friday afternoon. It is probable that memorial services will be conducted by Appleton Masons in the near future. Relative's here believe the body will be brought to Appleton for burial but there is no indication when this will be done. Dr. Conkey came to Appleton from his birthplace, Pontotoc, Miss., when he was about ten years of age. He attended high school and Lawrence college here and then attended a dental college. Relatives said Dr. Conkey was a practicing dentist here for more than forty years. After his return from college he associated himself with Dr. W. H. Chilson for a number of years. Dr. Conkey's health began to fail in the summer of 1925 and in September of that year he went to California. Survivors are the widow, one daughter, Mrs. V. J. Whelan, Appleton; two sons, Carl, Chicago, and W. L. Conkey, Jr., Monrovia; one brother, P. M. Conkey, Appleton. Mrs. Whelan and W. L. Conkey Jr., were with their father when he died. Dr. Conkey was a member of the Masonic order and of the Elks and held offices in both lodges. He also has held offices in various dental societies.
