Michael F. Conry

Michael Francis Conry (April 2, 1870 – March 2, 1917) was an American newspaperman, lawyer, and politician who served four terms as a U.S. Representative from New York from 1909 to 1917.

Born in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, Conry attended the public schools, and was employed in the coal mines until sustaining an injury which crushed his ankles and left him crippled.

After deciding on a career as an attorney, he graduated from the University of Michigan Law School in 1896, was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

He died in Washington, D.C., on March 2, 1917, and was interred at Calvary Cemetery in Maspeth, Queens.
