”After the war Mr. Conger returned to his home and for the succeeding two years was engaged in farming at North Collins. He then became salesman for the White Sewing Machine and for all kinds of agricultural implements. He became well acquainted all over his section, and when later he established a store in Springville found many customers among his old friends. He was a director of the O’Neil Wagon Company, and after that failed opened a general store for the sale of implements, carriages, wagons, wood, coal, builders’ materials, etc., continuing alone until 1901, when he admitted his son-in-law, Lloyd S. Ware, to a partnership, under the firm name Conger & Ware. In 1906 he sold his interest to Mr. Wyatt, the firm continuing as Wyatt & Ware. He was engaged in other enterprises in the town.”
