Today's video is Part 4 in our 12-part video series, "Everyone Has a Story", where we share stories of those buried in Fairview Cemetery in New Albany, IN.
In today's video we share the story of Wilhelm Cornelius "Cony" Renn, born here in New Albany. Cony wasn't one of the movers and shakers here in New Albany. He was a simple paperhanger from New Albany whose life came to a tragic end on October 20, 1924.
Happy 147th Birthday, Cony!
