They lived in a log house at what now is called Wildwood Park in Ashland, KY. The street called Robin Lynn Drive was then called Conley Lane. The house was torn down when Armco Steel bought the land for a private park. Part of the logs are in a Boy Scout building in Ashland, KY. Thomas Conley was the s/o John R. and Texas Linsade (Sadie) Lafferty Conley. He married Abbie Artrip, d/o John Artrip and Lucina Faverty.

John "Walter" Conley and his sister Lillie were orphaned at the ages of 4 and 2. After their father, Thomas Conley, and their mother Abigail died, the Conley children were raised by Abbie's parents John and Lucina Artrip. John Artrip was a very stern man and was very strict with Walter and Lillie. Lillie left home at 12 and settled in Ohio. She later married Adam Ruhl. Nothing further is known of Lillie after she married. Walter spent a great deal of his young life living with the "Rayburn family" that lived next door. They treated him as one of their children. In his adult years, Walter was a very stern meticulous man. He expected nothing but perfection from himself and everyone else. "Walter" was born in Advance, KY (which was changed to "Cheap", and later changed to "Flatwoods") Greenup Co., KY on August 19, 1898. He joined the U.S. Army on August 24, 1918.
