The Conley Family of Camden, NJ

The pictures below were found among the papers of Edward Patterson, an Army veteran who died alone a few years ago in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. His mother was a Conley, and most of the pictures below appear to have been of her, her parents, and various Conley cousins. Almost all of the pictures below lacked names on the back, however, and I am hoping that some people may be able to step forward and identify the people pictured below. The photos for the most part were taken between the late 1890s and 1960. A few are from more recent times, perhaps around 1980 or so.

The Conley family was in Camden by the late 1890s, and they were among the first families to move to the new homes in Yorkship Village when it was built during World War I. They remained a presence there for many years thereafter. The Conleys have served Camden as members of the police department and in other aspects of civic life in the city.

PLEASE contact me if you can identify anyone in any of the photographs below.
