Bill Van Patten at Conn Fire Presentation
Bill Van Patten, a former Conn employee, attended the presentation by Elkhart County Historical Museum Curator of Education, Patrick McGuire on the CG Conn factory fires in 1883 and 1910. After the presentation, Van Patten and other relatives of former employees joined in the discussion.
Charles Gerad Conn moved with his family in 1850 to Elkhart. In 1884, he became a Colonel, and that title remained with him the rest of his life. First a retail merchant, he patented a rubber mouthpiece for his cornet in 1875 which led to his owning the largest musical instrument factory in the world by 1905. His first factory was destroyed by fire Jan. 29, 1883 (his 39th birthday). He rebuilt the factory on the same site. The second factory burned on May 22, 1910. The insurance for both fires failed to cover the extent of the estimated damage, but he rebuilt again. A most colorful personality, he became Mayor of Elkhart as a Democrat in 1882, but did not finish the term. In 1888, he won the election to Indiana House of Representatives and in 1892 was elected to US Congress as a Representative. He founded the Elkhart Truth in 1889. In 1915, he sold his Elkhart businesses and moved to California, only returning to visit his sister in 1928 and to be buried in Elkhart, Indiana when he died Jan. 5,1931.
