ANITA "POLLY" (WEBB) CONN, 90, passed away on July 6, 2021, after a long illness.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Eugene W. Conn; parents, Mary and Guy Webb; brothers, Kermit and Quinton Webb; sisters, Izetta Browning and Aretta Lindaemann.
Polly was a life long resident of Tornado, West Virginia and a member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church.
Polly was a dedicated educator from 1955 to 1995 in Kanawha County Schools. She started her career at Webb School where she taught grades 1-6 in a one room school house. The following years she transferred to Andrews Heights Elementary where she remained until retirement. After retiring, she continued teaching children in her home individually with reading, writing and or math challenges.
Students loved Mrs. Conn and looked forward to being in her classroom. She often said that she loved teaching and felt blessed to have that opportunity to change lives.
Nothing pleased her more than hearing about a previous student, receiving a card, phone call or messages. It seemed that she never forgot a single student or their families.
From 1985 to 1995, Polly worked tirelessly with her classrooms to establish the monarch butterfly as the state appointed butterfly.
On March 1, 1995, her work and wish came true when resolution number 11 adopted by Legislative and approved by Senate, the official state butterfly to be the Monarch.
After retirement, Polly was an accomplished seamstress sewing wedding gowns, ROTC Uniforms, as well as for friends and family.
Polly is survived by her daughter, Dreama Conn Queen (Larry Queen) of Columbus, Ohio; one step daughter, Gigi Conn Hinchcliffe (Dallas) of Hurricane; four grandchildren; four beloved great grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews she adored.
The family would like to give special thanks to Polly's caregivers, Allyssa Brogan and Ann Sheets for their excellent care.

Obituary -- Anne Squire Purchase
Anne Squire was esimated to be born on 1 Nov 1591 in Charlton (near Ludwell), England. She was the daughter of Henry Squire and Charlotte Mackrell.
She married Aquilla Thomas Purchase on Jan 28, 1613 in Somerset, England. They had eight known children in 20 years.
Her 2nd husband was Thomas Oliver of Boston whom she married about 1637.
She passed away on December 20, 1662, in Boston, Massachusetts, at the age of 71.
Anne Squire met Aquila Purchas in about 1612 near Kingweston, England & they were married in Jan 1613. Anne's sister Edith was married to Henry Adams effectively making her Aquila's Sis-in-law. Henry Adams conceived the idea of emmigrating to America and thus in the summer of 1633, Aquila & Anne embarked on the voyage to their new land. She and her husband & children emmigrated to Dorchester, Mass. However it is thought that Aquila passed away during the voyage and was buried at sea, or shortly thereafter upon his arrival in America.
On Aug 5th 1633 the 'Widdow Purchas' was granted 4 Acres of land in the Twp of Dorchester where she resided until her death in 1662. This successful immigration no doubt precipitated letters back to her sisters in England and in 1638 Edith & Henry Adams along with her sister Margaret & her husband John Shepard came to America, thus fulfilling Henry's dream of coming to America.
Anne is buried near her sis-in-law - Joan Purchase Capen b1578 d1653 in this cemetery - see #6108090. For her sister Edith Squire Adams see #11014351
(Anne is purported to be the Ancestress of President Millard Fillmore thru her daughter Abigail, as well as William Howard Taft) Her sister Edith Adams was the Ancestress of President John Quincy Adams.
Addendum: All of the Oliver Children listed below are actually that of Thomas Oliver's 1st wife Anne - Ann Squire did not marry him until 1637. Only two of the children listed below are hers - Oliver Purchase b1613 and Sarah Purchase b1626 | Squire, Anne (I12238)
