Reminiscences of Oxford - Homes and People - By B. H. Davis
Published 03-05-1914 in THE SEYMOUR RECORD - NOTE: I have noted inconsistencies in his dates.
A little further north we come to the intersecting point of the Riggs Street road with the Woodbury Turnpike. On this point between the two roads stands an old landmark, a house built nearly a century ago. The frame for it was taken from a portion of the old Episcopal church that stood upon the hill near the Episcopal cemetery. It was dismantled when the new church was built on the main road. Joseph Conners owned and occupied this house for many years. He married Phoebe Bunnell of Oxford. Four children were born to them. Joseph, Jr., David, and twin daughters, Mary and Martha. He was a hatter and was one of the foremost at the time the hatting industry first started in Oxford. This industry proved a failure, and he moved to New York. Joseph Jr. is and has been a traveling salesman for many years, and in former years would visit his old home during the hunting season. The rest of the children, if living, are in New York.
In 1866 this place was purchased by Frank A. Leek, who still resides there. Frank never married and lives alone most of the time and seems to enjoy himself as well if not better than some who have not been afflicted. He plays the violin and is a great reader, also is quite a literary person, and I believe he is a correspondent for several newspapers. He is a very genial companion and has a large circle of friends.
