Obadiah Milton Conover was born on October 08, 1825 at Dayton, Ohio, United States. He was of Dutch ancestry, being seventh in line of descent from Wolfert Gerrettse van Kouwenhoven, who came to the first Dutch settlement with Patroon van Rensselaer. By some unknown process the name took on its present form. His mother, Sarah Miller, came from an old Kentucky family.
Conover was graduated from the College of New Jersey at Princeton in 1844; taught Latin and Greek at Lexington, Kentucky, and Dayton, for two years, meanwhile studying law in the office of General Robert C. Schenck; and then returned to Princeton, being graduated from the theological seminary in 1849.
About 1849 Conover removed to Madison, Wisconsin, where the remainder of his life was spent. He became editor of a literary and educational monthly, the North-Western Journal, of which only a few numbers were issued. When the first class was organized at the University of Wisconsin, in August 1850, there were two members of the faculty, Chancellor Lathrop and Professor Sterling, but in the second term Conover was appointed general tutor, being thus the third member of the faculty in order of appointment. Two years later he was made professor of ancient languages and literature, which position he held until 1858, when he was removed with his colleagues in the revolution and reorganization which the University underwent in that year.
Renewing an earlier interest in the law, he was admitted to the Dane County bar in 1859, and two years later became assistant reporter to the Supreme Court of Wisconsin. In 1864 he was appointed reporter, which office he held for twenty years. His continued interest in educational matters is indicated by the fact that he was a member of the Board of Regents of the University, 1859-1865; was for some years State Librarian; and was commissioned to collect books, pictures, and busts for the University abroad.
In the later years of his life the condition of his health did not permit him to undertake any but his routine duties as reporter to the Supreme Court. His chief interest lay in Greek literature, but his relations to it were those of enjoyment and culture. Apart from the published reports of the Supreme Court, his writings consisted of occasional papers prepared for the Madison Literary Club. Two poems, “Via Solitaria” and “Reconciliation, ” often quoted, and frequently attributed to Longfellow, were products of his pen. His death occurred in London while on his return from a two years’ sojourn in Greece.
Conover was remembered for his service in the judicial system of the State of Wisconsin. He was responsible for the publication of important reports of the Supreme Court. He was also known as an author of two poems, “Via Solitaria” and “Reconciliation, ” often quoted, and frequently attributed to Longfellow.
