Warren Conover’s Wife Dies In Chicago Hospital
Sister of Famous Johnson Brothers
Mrs. Lutie Mae Conover, age 69, wife of Warren M. Conover, and sister of the three famous Johnson brothers who built and flew the first successful American monoplane at Terre Haute in July 1911, died Tuesday morning at Chicago Wesley Memorial Hospital where she had been a patient for the past month.
Scale Model At Smithsonian
The brothers Louis and Julius, now of Florida, and Harry L. Johnson, a Culver area resident for 25 years, all beyond 75 years old, three years ago completed a scale model of the historic monoplane for permanent display at the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, D.C.
The same three brothers, to whom Mrs. Conover was devoted, were the original designers and builders of the renowned Johnson Outboard Motors at Waukegan, Ill.
Lutie Mae Johnson was born April 25, 1891 at Effingham, Ill., and moved with her parents to Terre Haute in 1898. In 1910 she was married to Warren M. Conover and in 1918 they took up residence in South Bend.
Lived on Tippecanoe River
The Conover’s moved to Waukegan in 1927 and lived there until Nov. 1, 1935 when they bought their farm home on the beautiful Tippecanoe River south of Culver.
Mrs. Conover was a lifetime member of the Methodist Church, and was also a member of the W.S.C.S. of the Leiters Ford Methodist Church, the Aubbeenaubbee Township New Idea Club, and the Rochester Hospital Auxiliary.
Surviving besides the husband are: a daughter, Mrs. Helen Mae Morse, Chicago; a son, Warren Clay Conover, Waukegan, Ill.; four brothers, Louis J. Johnson, Coral Gables, Fla., Harry L. Johnson, Culver, Julius M. Johnson, Bradenton, Fla., and Clarence L. Johnson, Waukegan; three grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
Services Friday Afternoon
Interment will be at the Culver Masonic Cemetery where Rev. Kendall E. Sands, pastor of the Culver Methodist Church, will conduct graveside services at 2:30 p.m. Friday. Friends may call at the Easterday Funeral Home after 7 p.m. Wednesday. The family requests that no flowers be sent.
