CONWAY, RALPH HENSON, was in a German Prisoner of War camp for 18 months. After World War I was over, he returned to Wayne County. His family and friends were shocked to see him. They had apparently been advised that he had been killed in the war. He was a native of Wayne County and lived all his life in Wayne County with the exception of the time he was in service. He was one-half Cherokee Indian.

After returning to Wayne County, he married Verna Carolyn BOYD. They had two sons: Ralph Junior CONWAY (1934-1976) and T. J. CONWAY (1936-1970).

His son, Ralph J. CONWAY served in the US Navy during the Korean War. Ralph married Frances STULTS in 1971. They had two children: Samuel Jay CONWAY and Molly Kathryn CONWAY. Ralph died when the children were two and three.
