Conrad Terwilliger was born April 6, 1798 in New Scotland, Albany, N. Y., where his father occupied 160 acres of the Van Rensselaer rental lands of which he afterward acquired the title by fulfilment of the terms of the rental contract. After the death of the father, Conrad and his three brothers Richard, John and George, removed to Onondaga, N. Y. where in 1837 he married the widow of Hamilton Terry (mother of Geo. N. Terry). He resided at Collamer, six miles east of Syracuse, N. Y., until 1864, when he removed to Michigan and bought the Fairchild farm, just outside the corporation, west of this city. About five years later he sold the farm and has since lived in the city. In 1875 his wife died. His two sons, Edwin and Henry, are the only children living, both of whom are well known in this vicinity. Father Terwilliger was an exceptionally healthy man, having never since youth required a physician’s services. On Friday last he received a stroke of paralysis and remained unconscious until he died about sixty-three hours later. Deceased was a faithful member of the Presbyterian church here. His surviving brothers and sisters and the children of his deceased brother John, still reside in and about Syracuse and Albany, N. Y. The funeral was held at the Presbyterian church on Tuesday, Rev. Vanderhart officiating. Syracuse and Albany papers please copy.
