Conky Stiles a Walking Bible Hero of Hampshire County
In a nurse of memory, Conky Stiles, born Silas Stiles, is recalled as a boy who memorized the Bible by heart, quoted chapter and verse in daily life, and grew into a living encyclopedia of Scripture. His faith guided his wartime service and kindness to comrades, ending with a soldier’s death after a fierce Churchill’s bridge fight, uttering Second Timothy 4 7 and finishing with I have fought a good fight.
