| Gila County lost one of its oldest pioneers when Edward Charles “E.C.” Conway, 90, passed away on Feb. 25, 2008. He was born Nov. 1, 1917, in Globe to Ed and Jane Conway and traveled to Greenback Valley Ranch on horseback when he was 10 days old. He lived on and operated the Greenback Valley Ranch his entire life. E.C. was one of the best cowmen in Gila County. He knew all of his cows' history. His life spanned from trail drives over Reno Pass to Phoenix and drives from Roosevelt to Wheatfields to being one of the founders of the sale yard in Globe. He served as president of the Gila County Cattle Growers and served on the Tonto National Forest Grazing Advisory Board for many years. Survivors include two sons and daughters-in-law, Eddie and Betty Sue Conway of Tonto Basin and Bill and Penny Conway of Payson, seven grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, Frances; two daughters, Mary Ann Sage and Jeanne Halmer; and one grandson, Cody McCarn. Memorial services will be held at Tonto Basin School at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 1. |
