He shoed horses for the fire department and other businesses but specialized in unruly horses. He had five children. In the waning days of the business ,he was interviewed by The Evening Sun, 6-4-1927 about his artisan workshop and again about the horseshoe he made for Lindbergh at the forge (6-11-1927) He was from Co. Mayo, Ireland. The family sold the house (restaurant) in the mid 60"s. Mr. Conway, blacksmith, is buried near his summer farmhouse, St. Stephen's in Warwick, New York.
