He was born in St. Johnsbury on June 11, 1918, the son of Herbert William and Glenn (Tisdale) Conly.
Doug attended schools in St. Johnsbury and was a 1936 graduate of St. Johnsbury Trade School. He took great delight in telling stories about his youth growing up “on the farm” on Higgins Hill and walking long distances to and from school each day.
He married
Loretta Veilleux October 24, 1942. She passed away Jan. 17, 2005.

Doug took up the game of golf and regularly played at St. Johnsbury Country Club with his dear friend Lawrence ‘Stub’ Clark. An avid vegetable gardener and groundskeeper, he kept busy during the summer season experimenting with different plantings and gardening methods. His well equipped basement shop allowed him to pass the winters with woodworking and metalworking hobbies. Doug also very much enjoyed reading Louis Lamore novels and historical non-fiction.
Like most his age, Doug took pride in his frugal and conservative nature and enjoyed a good political argument with several of his nieces’ husbands. Although not a deeply religious man, Doug took solitude in nature and helping those in need.
As a New York Yankee fan, October was his month to kid his acquaintances that happened to be Red Sox fans including his wife and son George.
Doug had been a resident of Canterbury Inn since January of this year and made many new friends and acquaintances while there.
