Jobs of Conger lineage -- by Richard Henthorn
Internationally known genealogist Richard Henthorn recently visited The Website of Job and
wrote, "Thank you for inviting me to your web site. I enjoyed the first visit. You
are off to a good start. I really liked all of the photographs.
I thought you might enjoy a little Job Report. I looked at all people
in teh 40,000 plus names in (his) Conger file and extracted those who have Job as either
first or middle name. There are 23. The format here ties the man to his -- spouse, linked
-- to his birth place and date finally linked -- to date of death and place of burial

addition to Mr. Henthorn's excellent research here in the future.
I want to share what I remember of dad who will always remain as
the best of the best and the worst of worst. If you're wondering
when JCCIII is buried the answer is that his ashes reside in a cardboard
box, never opened since I brought them home from the crematorium,
a box which resides in a drawer in a chest of drawers in my living room..
He asked for his ashes to be scattered into the Sangamon River which
flows north of Springfield, but I've never been of a mind to grant him
that wish. As long as his ashes are here, I interact with him in a strange
sort of way. He's part of my life, somehow. If I should be lucky enough
to live as long as July 28, 2003, I have vowed to grant him his last wish.
