OBITUARY
Mr. John Connor
The death occurred very suddenly yesterday of an old and highly respected resident of the district in the person of Mr. John Connor, in his 72nd year.
Mr. Connor, who had not been in the best of health for some little time, went out with his son, Mick, to Burrabogie, to pick up some of his tools. Whilst there, sitting in the car, he suddenly collapsed and died before medical aid could reach him. Mr. Connor was the eldest of the nine children of the late Joseph Connor and came to this district at the age of five years from Mount Hope. He has lived here ever since.
He was employed as an engine driver at the irrigation area pumping station for several years from about 1911, but most of his life has been spent in earth moving contract work. He worked his teams over a large part of the Hay district, tank sinking, road building, and other work and he was known not only as a most honest straight forward dealer, but a man who scarcely knew when the day's work was done. His toil was during the days when a man had to plod behind his horses with plough and scoop and a great many of the dams in the district, as well as the roads, resulted from his, industry.
During his younger days Mr. Connor, was a keen cricketer, footballer, and swimmer; he won a lot of trophies at the latter sport particularly.
His wife, who was a Miss Minnie McKinnon, one of a very well known family in the district, survives him with their five, children. The family are Sister Gwen Connor (of the Sydney Hospital), John Edward (Mick) of Hay), Thelma (Mrs. Ridges, Hay), Charlie (Hay), and Joyce (Mrs. Connelly, Melbourne). One son and Charlie and Sister Gwen Connor, served in the A.I.F. over seas. Sister Connor served for a long time with distinction in the Middle East with the Nursing Service.
He is also survived by one sister, May (Mrs. Reg Hedley, of Hay), and four brothers, Joseph, Les and Fred (of Hay), and Arthur (Sydney).
The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, from the St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Hay. Mr. Ron Wall is making the funeral arrangements.

Notes
General:
It would appear that Mary Ann had an illegitimate child in 1881, Charlotte. It is possible the father's name was John Clark, as this is the name that Charlotte gave on her marriage certificate as her own and her father. Later that year, 1881, Mary Ann married a widower, William Best, who was 40 years old at the time of the marriage and Mary Ann was 19. William's first wife, Virtue Williams had died in South Australia in about 1867.
Mary Ann had 11 children under the name of Best, but the father's name was never recorded on any of the births, so I suspect that the marriage to William Best may have been to legitimise her previous issue and that William may not have stayed around for long as Mary Ann's next child was born in 1884 with no father named.
I have found an obituary for Edward Kelly which states he arrived in Nhill in 1884 so it is possible that Edward Kelly was the father of most or all of these children. William Best seems to have died in Mt Gambier in 1912, however, Mary Ann married her second husband, Edward Kelly (appears as Edward George Wooley Kelly) at Bordertown, SA in 1910.
Children from Ada May down were baptised at Nhill with the surname of Kelly and the fathers name was given as Gustavus Adolphus William James Herbert Edward Kelly, or Edward Kelly. This would seem to prove that Edward Kelly was the biological father of the 11 children after Charlotte.
