Gaston, Joseph. "The Centennial History of Oregon, 1811-1912." Vol. 4. Chicago, Clarke Publishing Co., 1912. p. 64. FRANK W. CONWAY, who, in assocation with his brother Irving, operates the homestead farm of four hundred acres in Douglas, his native county, was born in the Umpqua valley on the 26th of July, 1876. He acquired his education in the public schools and also pursued a course of study at the Central Oregon State Normal School, at Drain, from which institution he was graduated in 1898. In 1900 he went to Sodaville, Oregon, where Mr. Conway pursued a special course in languages at Sodaville College. Subsequently he taught school for three months. In 1902 he filed on a homestead of one hundred and sixty acres in Idaho, which he proved up and still owns. In 1909 he returned to Douglas county, Oregon, and soon afterward began the operation of the home farm in partnership with his brother Irving. In the conduct of their agricultural interests the brothers have been successful, their land being highly productive and annually yielding bounteous harvests. Since age conferred upon him the right of franchise Mr. Conway has supported the republican party, being convinced that its principles are most conducive to good government. He belongs to Council Lodge, No. 85, I. O. O. F. of Council, Idaho, and is also a member of Diamond Rebekah Lodge, No. 56. IN whatever relation of life he has been found he has been true and loyal to the trust reposed in him and his life has been in conformity with a high standard of conduct.
