(fl. late 19th century, early 20th century), veterinarian, official. (Dr H. A. Conroy) He appears not to have been a graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College. He practised as a veterinarian at Alexandria and probably at Maxville. Clarence Ostrom says he moved from Alexandria to Ottawa in 1897 on becoming a paymaster in the Indian Affairs dept . In 1899, however, he was apparently still an Alexandria resident when he was appointed clerk of a commission relating to Indian affairs at Athabaska, N.W.T., and was under orders to report to Ottawa immediately. (Glengarry News 12 May 1899) Though the name was given at the time as Henry S. Conroy, he was presumably the Dr Conroy who c. 1900 helped the Christie family in enquiries into the death of the prospector John P. Christie. In 1902, it was reported that Conroy had returned from his annual trip through the west and that he was now moving his family from Dominionville to Ottawa. (Glengarry News 10 Oct. 1902) In 1921, he was an inspector of Treaty 8 of the Indian Dept. and was leaving for the Mackenzie River Basin on official duties. (GN 6 May 1921) From c. 1910 he was stationed as a government veterinarian at Fort Smith, the administrative centre for the NWT, being a contemporary there of another Glengarrian, Dr Archibald L. Macdonald, a physician. No further information has been obtained about Dr Conroy.
