Marvin C. Connor
SMITHLAND, Ky. — Marvin C. Connor, father, boat pilot, auto mechanic and body shop owner, marina operator, skilled lathe operator, scuba diver, and a self-taught jack of all trades, died June 14, 2024, at age 97. Marvin was born on January 21, 1927, on a farm halfway between Pellville and Floral, Kentucky, as the youngest child of Herbert Clyde Connor and Anna B Harrison Connor. He grew up in rural Hancock County and Owensboro, Kentucky. After serving in World War II, he relocated to Tell City, Indiana, where he began a career as an auto mechanic working at the local Pontiac garage. He soon moved on to his own business, Connor’s Body Shop, where he became known as a skilled and well-liked mechanic and auto body repairman for much of the town’s populace. Not long after starting this business, he was prevailed upon by some of his fellow pleasure boat owners to take over the operation of the Tell City Marina, a boat dock on the Ohio River. He also learned to scuba dive and assisted the local fire and police departments with rescue operations. And he bought a small tow boat that he renovated to add a pilot house, the “Carol Sue,” which he used to assist in operations on the river.
