He set about educating himself and worked in a bank for several years, while writing and attempting to get a play produced on Broadway. In 1895, at the age of 26, he moved to New York City to pursue his writing career. Not having much money, he went looking for work and found a job in a fire insurance office as an accountant. He continued to shop his play, The Broken Rosary, around the city and at one point it looked like it was going to make it. He quit his fire insurance job to devote his time to the play.  Unfortunately, it fell through and he went back to work, this time for a bridge building company. Finally, Walter Lawrence, manager of the Madison Square Theater commissioned him to write The Prince Chap, 1904, which was met with rave reviews. A Broken Rosary was rewritten as a book, also in 1904.","His best known works are A Pair of Sixes and The Littlest Rebel. Some of his plays were made into silent films, and then later sound films.

She attended the State Normal and Industrial School for Women, now James Madison University, where she graduated in 1912. While a student, Conn was involved in the Lanier Literary Society, Racket Tennis Club, and the editorial staff for the yearbook.

Ephemera primarily contains pamphlets, flyers, and grades pertaining to Conn's time at the State Normal School with some items being associated with her early jobs right after graduation. In addition, her collection of poetry primarily comprises her original work. Occasional pieces included are not originally by her but are works that she recited or wrote out. The majority of her poetry in the collection is dated between 1975-1989; however, there is some undated poetry that is estimated to be prior to 1975. As a member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia, Conn also had a collection of sermons from the 1940-1950s, mostly preached by Reverend Vincent C. Franks, D.D.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.
