WILLIAM M. CONNARN
 
            An efficient executive, well-posted as to his own section, and 
enjoying valuable associations in other parts of the Golden State, which enable 
him the better to advance the best interests of Yuba County, is William M. 
Connarn, the popular secretary of the Chamber of Commerce.  He was born in West 
Dummerston, Vt., on October 19, 1883, the son of Patrick Connarn, now deceased, 
a railroad man long respected for his ability, and for his dependability and 
honesty of character.
            William Connarn went through both the grammar and the high school of 
his locality, and then engaged in newspaper work, choosing the advertising 
section of the business management, and following that for twenty years.  He 
came out to California in 1901, and was employed awhile in Los Angeles in the 
same department of newspaper advertising; and on July 15, 1921, he came to 
Marysville.
            Few men could be found better equipped than Mr. Connarn for the 
peculiar duties and varied responsibilities of Chamber of Commerce work, a work 
always assuming new forms and presenting new problems, each of more or less 
vital concern to the community�s growth and prosperity; and Marysville and Yuba 
County are to be congratulated on their choice of a representative to fill this 
difficult post.
            In October, 1920, Mr. Connarn was married to Miss Pearl E. 
Lovergreen, a popular lady of Illinois; and they have one child, named Billy M.  
Mr. Connarn is a Mason of the third degree, and is affiliated with the Sciots.
