BATAAN DEATH MARCH SURVIVOR, EARL CONOVER, DIES AT AGE 87

6/21/05 Paul B. Hayes, Editor
Earl Conover, a decorated World War II veteran who survived the infamous Bataan Death March across the Philippines after being taken as a prisoner of war by the Japanese, passed away Friday, June 17, at the VA Medical Center Hospice in Lexington after an illness. He was 87.
Mr. Conover was one of the first Adair Countians drafted for service in the U.S. Army in the early part of 1941. After training at Ft. Knox, he vo-lunteered to go to the Philippines, and was sent there in the fall of 1941.

In an interview in November 2000, Mr. Conover talked about his experiences after being taken as a POW and the subsequent three-and-a-half years he spent as a prisoner.

Stationed at Clark Field in the Philippines, the U.S. Armed Forces he was a part of was attacked by the Japanese immediately after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Mr. Conover recalled that on that fateful morning, "the air began to fill with Jap bombers, and they came in and bombed everything."

The American forces regrouped and went to Toulac, where they met the Japanese invasion force, engaged them, then retreated back to the Bataan peninsula.

"We were supposed to retreat back down the Bataan, fighting as we went, and be evacuated at Corregidor," he said. "But, the 7th Fleet (which was supposed to pick them up) was at the bottom of the Pacific at Pearl Harbor."

The American troops battled bravely against the much larger Japanese forces for a few weeks - engaging in a jungle warfare they had never been exposed or trained for - before eventually being overran by the Japanese, resulting in their eventual surrender.

"I was ready to fight," Conover stated in the 2000 interview. "I had my rifle, my .45 (pistol) and was ready to fight to the last man like at the Alamo. But, some officers came by and said General King had surrendered us. I wasn’t taken captive, I was surrendered."

After the surrender, the American soldiers then were forced into the Bataan Death March, an 85-mile journey that claimed thousands of lives.

Despite the horrendous circumstances of the march, Mr. Conover managed to survive, and spent the next three-and-a-half years in various POW camps before being set free.

He contracted several illnesses and diseases while in the camps, and was once hospitalized in a camp "Zero Ward" for the terminally ill. "But, I wouldn’t die," he noted.

Mr. Conover was finally liberated from his last POW camp in September, 1945, a month after the war was over, and finally was able to return home to Columbia, where he was able to return to a "normal life," marrying, working and raising a family.

Mr. Conover went to work for the State Fire Marshall’s Office, and eventually retired from the position.

In the community, he was a long-time member of the Columbia-Adair County Volunteer Fire Department, a founding member of the Columbia Rotary Club, and a long-time Scoutmaster. He was also known for his work on antique clocks.

Obituary

Earl Conover, 87, of Wall Street, Columbia, died Friday night, June 17, at the VA Medical Hospice in Lexington.

He was the son of the late Wyatt and Ila Epperson Conover, a member of Columbia Baptist Church and a member of VFW Post #6097.

Survivors include his wife of 55 years, Clara Matthews Conover of Columbia; one son and daughter-in-law, Dennis and Sallie Conover of Huntsville, Alabama; and one daughter and son-in-law, Betty and Clifford Jasper of Columbia; and five grandchildren - Ben and Heather Jasper of Columbia, Sarah and her husband Shane Brown of Cleveland, TN, Stephanie Conover of New York City and Steve Conover of Huntsville, AL.

He was preceded in death by a sister, Frances Conover Pickard.

The funeral service was held Monday, June 20 at 10 a.m. at Grissom Funeral Home with Bro. Raymond Martin officiating.

Burial was in the Columbia Cemetery with military honors presented by VFW Post #6097.

Casket bearers were James F. Harper, Bobby Caldwell, Robert Flowers, Marshall Loy, Bobby Rice and Warren Southworth.

Honorary casket bearers were the members of the Columbia-Adair County Volunteer Fire Department.

Grissom Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.

He married an unknown person ;
He was one of only four Adair County soldiers to be imprisoned by the Japanese and one of only fifteen Adair Countians to have become POWs in World War II.

He was one of only a few Kentuckians to have survived the Bataan Death March.

He was a living symbol of World War II for most Adair Countians.

This quiet, self-effacing man endured as much as could be asked of any human in war time.

But he was reluctant to bring the terrible times up, himself.

Cyrus found this out on a recent visit to Columbia. He wrote, "I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Earl Conover at the Janice Holt Giles Library during a trip to KY last fall. I happened to have with me copies of the same articles I sent you. Mr. Conover skimmed the articles but when asked if he'd like to have copies, he quietly, simply replied, 'Oh, no, no; that was a long time ago.'

It was, indeed, a long time ago, but Earl Conover's story of bravery and sacrifice just short of supreme must never, ever be forgotten.

The story of Earl Conover is too big not to be told, re-told, and made more accurate with each re-telling. He was a bona fide American hero.

He was quiet, but he loomed large in our lives. "He was our hero," Emily Edwards Sargent remembers. And she remembers his reticence about his time as a POW. "He didn't like to talk about it. He just went on with his life. You know, his hands were scarred, and they said it was from torture with burning cigaretttes, but he would never tell anyone."

The articles Cyrus offered Mr. Conover that day at the library are large part of of this story. They are clippings from old Columbia newspaper accounts, and they tell the story of a volunteer soldier whose fate pre-occupied all of Adair County from the time he was missing in action in 1942 until word of his liberation came in October, 1945, a period of some 44 months.

"We prayed for him every day," Jean Cravens, who lived up Jamestown Street from the Conovers, remembers. "Everyone in the whole town prayed for him." His hero's return to Columbia was one of the biggest events ever in Columbia. Many remember more people on the Square that day than any other in history.

Mrs. Sargent was just a small girl when he came back. She remember there were two convertibles in the parade, provided by Bobby Collins, the homecoming organizer, and that the community welcome began at the intersection of the Hudson Street (the "Cut-off Road" in those days) and Greensburg Street.

She remembers that Earl Conover rode in one of the convertibles into town. "But I don't remember much else about the day," she said.

Of course there was tremendous relief when word came that he had been liberated, as this story and an inset letter transcribed by Cyrus from the October 3, 1945, Adair County News illustrates:
Pfc Earl Conover Freed From Japs

War Department Notifies Family
Of Columbia Soldier That
He Will Soon Be In States

The entire City of Columbia rejoiced with the Conover family when Mrs. W.R. Conover received a message from the War Department stating that her son, Pfc. Earl M. Conover, had been released from the Japs. His father, who works in Louisville, was notified of the good news at once.

The message said, "Your son, Pfc. Earl Conover, has been returned to military control and will be in the United States in the near future. He will be given the opportunity to communicate with you upon arrival."

Conover, who operated a jewelry shop entered the service in January, 1941, and was sent to the Pacific area in September of the same year prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He was with the 17th Ordnance. When the war started he was stationed at Fort Stotsenburg, in the Philippine Islands. He was captured when Bataan Peninsula fell on April 9, 1942. He was first at Military Prison Camp No. 1 in the Philippines and later at camp No. 4.

Pfc. Conover's family received very few messages from him during the period he was a captive but enough came through to keep up hope he was alive. The last direct comunication were two cards received in Janaury and one in May from the Philippines. In June a card came notifying them that he had been sent to Tokyo Camp, Japan.

Pfc. Conover was the only Columbia soldier imprisoned by the Japanese and one of four Adair Countians, all of whom have now been released. The others are, Marine Sgt. Richard Cooley, Cpl. James L. Robertson, and Sgt. Nathaniel Simmons.

The following was inset in the above article. -CYRUS

Letter This Morning!

The following letter from Pfc. Conover reached his mother this morning:

Japan, Sept. 14

Dear Folks:

In good health. Waiting at Yokohoma Airport for plane to Manila. Will write from there. Very homesick but will soon be home. Can't tell you in words how I feel but maybe you have same feeling. Love to all.

Earl
His release had come folliowing the fall of Tokyo, Mrs. Nona Jones noted in the Joppa newsletter in the October 24, 1945, Adair County News, Cyrus writes.

The final homecoming, brought closure to the war and time for a huge celebration.

Cyrus quotes the News, of October 31, 1945 about the event.


Crowd Welcomes Sgt. Earl Conover

S/Sgt. Earl M. Conover, accompanied by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Conover, and his sister, Mrs. Frances Smith, all of whom met him in Louisville, arrived here Saturday mornng.

A calvacade of more than 50 cars filled with friends, met Sgt. Conover near Columbia and formed an escort into the city. In the group was his grandfather, Mr. B.L. Conover, his two aunts, Miss Lula Epperson and Mrs. R.P. Marshall, and his niece, Rochelle Smith.

Friends of this popular young soldier, who spent more than three years as a captive of the Japanese, will be interested to know that he was promoted to Sergeant before the fall of Bataan, though news of the promotion had never reached his family.

He was elevated to the rank of Staff Sergeant after liberation by the order of General MacArthur. He was awarded the American Defense, Asiatic-Pacific and Philippine Defense Ribbons with four Battle Stars, also the Good Conduct Ribbon and a Presidential Unit Citation with two Oak Leaf Clusters.

Sgt. Conover returned to Nichols General Hospital on Monday morning, but came that afternoon for a 15 day furlough. He expects to be disharged early in January.
He was discharged on January 16, 1946, Cyrus learned from this article in the January 16, 1946 Adair County News:
Given Honorable Discharge

S/Sgt. Earl M. Conover, who returned home in October, after being held a prisoner of the Japanese since the fall of Bataan in the Philippines in April, 1942, was given an honorable discharge at Nichols General Hospital, Louisville, on Saturday.

Conover was one of the first Adair men to enter the Armed Forces and had served for five years lacking one week. he took his basic training at Fort Knox and shortly afterward was sent to the Philippine Islands.

He has been awarded the Distinguished Unit Badge with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Ribbon with 2 Bronze Service Stars, the Philippine Defense Ribbon with Bronze Star, World War II Victory Ribbon, American Defense Ribbon, and Good Conduct Medal.

Sgt. Conover ran a jewelry store and repair shop here before entering the Army. He has accepted a position with Paul Young, He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Conover.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Conover's military saga began in 1941

Cyrus quotes the Adair County News, January 29, 1941:
Watchmaker Takes Over
Earl Conover's Business

Mr. M.D. Murphy, watchmaker, of Harrodsburg, has taken over Mr. Earl Conover's business. Mr. Conover volunteered for military service and was called for duty last week.

Mr. Murphy and wife are occupying quarters in the W.R. Conover residence on Jamestown St.
A brief article, in the August 27, 1941 Adair County News told of Private Conover's assignment in the Phillipines:
Goes To Philippine Islands

Private Earl Conover, of Fort Knox, who spent the week-end here with his family, expects to leave today for the Philippine Islands with his company.
Bad news arrives in Columbia, with a Red Cross report cited in this article in the February, 18, 1942, News:
Red Cross Report on Pvt. Earl Conover

A report was received here Thursday, February 12, from the American Red Cross stating that Pvt. Earl Conover had not been reported as wounded, killed or missing in action as of Friday, February 6.

Conover, who is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Conover, was stationed at Fort Stotsenburg, in the Philippine Islands, when the Japs made their first attack upon the Island possessions of the United States on December 7. No word has been received by his family since before that date. His last letter was written November 20 and was received January 9.
From the April 8, 1942, issue (Ironically, the fall of Bataan occurred one day after this appeared in the News. -CYRUS)
Message Received from Earl Conover

After four long months of anxious waiting the family of Earl Conover, who is with the U.S. Armed Forces in the Philippine Islands when war was declared in early December have at last gotten a message stating that he was all right.

His sister, Mrs. Frances Smith, and aunt, Miss Lula Epperson, received the letter here and relayed the message to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Conover, who are living at present in Leeds, Ala.

It was written February 1, bore no postmark or indication of where it was mailed but contained the following information which will be of great interest to Earl's many friends here:

"Dear Folks:

"No chance to write before. Am in the best of health, although losing a little sleep and getting two meals a day. Have been both bombed and strafed but only dirt thrown on me so far.

" Guess you know more about the war than I do. We hear nothing. At present we are in a hot spot. Jap planes bomb across from us almost every day. Have done lots of shooting with .50 cal. machine gun. Know I've hit the planes but haven't brought any down as yet. Will be home when this is over.

Earl."

When hostilities started December 7, 1941, Earl was stationed at Ft. Stotsenburg, P.I., forty miles North of Manila. He joined the U.S. Army January 20, 1941, being one of the first Adair County boys to enter the service.
The community learned that Earl Conover was not listed as a casualty May 6, 1942, edition of the News.
Earl Conover Is Not
Reported As Casualty

Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Conover have received a notice from the War Department, dated April 28, which stated the following:

"Casualty reports received in the War Department to date do not contain the name of the individual about whom you inquire. In every case of casualty the person named as emergency addressee by the soldier is notified immediately upon receipt of such report in the War Department."

When last heard from Earl Conover was in the thick of the fighting on Bataan Peninsula. His friends here will be glad to know that he has not been reported as dead or captured and it may be that he was among those evacuated to the island fortress of Corregidor.
Eight months later, the January 27, 1943, Adair County News reported that Pvt. Earl Conover was a prisoner of war:
Earl Conover Jap Prisoner
Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Conover
Notified By War Department
That Their Son Is Prisoner Of Japs

Last heard from In Feb., 1942

Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Conover received a telegram Tuesday morning from the War Department stating that their son, Pvt. Earl Conover, of the 17th Ordinance Company, who had previously been reported missing in action, was held prisoner of war in the Philippine Islands.

Pvt. Conover volunteered for service in the U.S. Army two years ago and was inducted January 20, 1941, with the first group of men sent from Adair County. He was stationed at Fort Knox for seven months and was sent to Fort Stotsenburg in the August, 1941. He was later transferred to the Bataan Peninsula where he is thought to have been stationed when the Japs took over complete control of the Islands.

No word had been received from Pvt. Conover by his family since February, 1942, other than the announcement by the War Department that he was missing in action, which meant either death or capture. Before entering the service Conover operated a jewelry repair shop in Columbia.
([I found no announcement in the News of his MIA status. -Cyrus]

Word from Pfc. Earl Conover reported in the September 8, 1943, Adair County News:
Second Message Received
From Pfc. Earl Conover

Mrs. W.R. Conover received a card Saturday from her son, Pfc. Earl Conover, who is interned at the Philippine Island Prison Camp No. 1 by the Japanese. It was the second message she had received since he was taken prisoner more than a year ago.

The message was similar to the first one, which she received in August. It was a typewritten post card with only his signature in longhand. It read: "My health is good. I am uninjured. I am well. Love to Rochelle and my best regards to Mr. Flowers and Dorothy Nell."
On December 15, 1943, the News reported:
Earl Conover Writes
From Jap Prison Camp

First Communication of Personal Nature
Assures Family That He
Expects To Return Home

Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Conover and Miss Lula Epperson received three cards last week from their son and nephew, Pvt. Earl M. Conover, who was captured by the Japanese when the Philippine Islands fell almost two years ago.

He had written from Philippine Military Prison No. 1, on two previous occasions, the last card having been received in September.

Two of the cards, which came last week, were the usual form cards saying that he was "well and not under treatment," and asked that he be remembered to Dr. N.A. Mercer, Dorothy Nell, Leighton Nell Smythe, and his aunts. Each had his signature in longhand.

The last card, which was received Saturday, had evidently been typewritten by Pvt. Conover. It was not a form communication and was of a more personal nature. It read:

"Hoping this finds everyone well. Am homesick at times, but time passes fast. I hope Rochelle remembers me. Give my regards to all my friends. Do not get too many gray hairs. I'll be back some day. I have great plans for the future. Earl M. Conover"
In the January 17, 1945, Adair County News, there was this:
Earl M. Conover Writes Parents

Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Conover and Miss Lula Epperson received a form card, written from Philippine Military Prison Camp No. 4. It stated that his health was good.

The message follows: "Hope everyone is well and happy. Give my best regards to Mr. Flowers and the rest of my friends. Alos my girl friends. Rochelle should be a big girl by now. Would like to come back home very much. Earl M. Conover."

This is the first card the family had received from him since December, 1943. Earl has many friends in Columbia who will be glad to know that this card has been received and that he is all right.

On Tuesday morning another card came to the family from Pvt. Earl M. Conover. It contained the following:

"Thanks for package of food. Also letters from yourself, Youngs and Dorothy. Would like to hear from Aunt Lula. Happy birthday to granddad. Best regards to Rook Club. Tell Dad and Sis to write. Glad to know all are well. Expect letter from Rochelle soon. The food package was sent in September, 1943. He said that his health was good."
The July 4, 1945 Adair County News reported that PFC Earl M. Conover had been transferred to a Japanese prison camp in Japan:
Pfc Earl Conover Sent To Japan

Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Conover have been informed by the War Department that their son, Pfc. Earl M. Conover, who was taken prisoner by the Japanese more than three years ago, is now at Tokyo Camp, Japan, having been transferred there from the Philippine Islands.

The letter, dated June 25, was written by the Provost Marshall General and arrived here on Thursday. It also instructed them to address all letters or packages as follows: Pfc. Earl Conover, U.S. Prisoner of War, Tokio Camp, Japan, via New York.

47-year mystery, bittersweet answer
By Jack Hicks, Post Staff Reporter
Rosa Weaver now knows most of the answers about her father. He wasn't murdered when he disappeared nearly a half-century ago, leaving his young family. Instead, he began a new life, with a new family, in another part of the country. Only one question remains, but it's one she'll never get to ask: Why? Mrs. Weaver, principal of R.R. Hinsdale Elementary School in Edgewood, Ky., was just 18 months old when her father, Earl Conover, disappeared in early 1949. Conover was 34 at the time, married with two children and another on the way. He was a partner in a Cincinnati lithographing company, with no apparent financial or family problems. Authorities and family members immediately suspected foul play. Conover had left a meeting with business associates in a College Hill cafe, with a "see you in the morning." Neither the associates, nor Conover's wife, children, parents or other family members ever saw him again.

His car was found abandoned in Columbus, Ohio, with birthday presents for his 9-year-old daughter, Judy, in the trunk. It seemed to re-enforce the theory that Conover had been abducted and murdered.
But late last month Mrs. Weaver received a surprise mailing. Martin Cassidy of Seattle, Wash., had read a July 1992 Kentucky Post story outlining Mrs. Weaver's search for her father. Cassidy believed his late father, Edward Cassidy, was Earl Conover. Documents accumulated by Martin Cassidy indicated that Conover had made his way to Seattle, where he applied for a Social Security card under the name of Edward Cassidy. Soon after, it turned out, he was joined by Martha Conley [sic], who had worked at the lithograph firm. She had taken a trip West and informed her employer and family that she wasn't coming back. She apparently never contacted her family here again. Conover, aka Cassidy, and Miss Conly lived together as man and wife and had four children. The younger Cassidy and his siblings have been unable to find a marriage certificate. In 1953 Cassidy moved to Yakima, Wash., where he became an employee, and then as executive, of a printing firm. he was active in church, lodge, and civic groups, just as he had been in Greater Cincinnati. Cassidy died in 1967, at age 53, of a heart attack. Miss Conley is about 80 and still living in Yakima, though in poor health. Her son has not told her of his contacts with people in this area.

Martin Cassidy always was curious about his parent's lack of family and reluctance to talk about it, other than saying they were from the Cincinnati area. He began to trace his roots and ran into an immediate dead end on the name Cassidy. His mother's lineage led to her brother in Crescent Springs, Ky., who said a detective hired by Mrs. Weaver had contacted him, trying to find Miss Conley and perhaps link her with Conover. The Crescent Springs resident knew nothing of Conover, but mentioned a column on Mrs. Weaver's quest that had had appeared in The Kentucky Post in 1992. Cassidy located the column and then contacted Mrs. Weaver. Their exchange of information and photos have satisfied both that they share the same father. Cassidy and his brother, Edward [sic], plan to come here later this month to meet Mrs. Weaver and other relatives. Mrs. Weaver's mother is deceased, but her sister, Judy, lives in Washington, D.C., where she is executive director of the national League of Women Voters. "Suddenly my Christmas card list has gotten longer," Mrs. Weaver said of her new family. Mostly there is relief in her knowledge, Mrs. Weaver said. But there also is sadness, for her mother, who lost a husband, and for her sister and brother and herself, who as children had no father.
