Biography from AskART:
| Born in New York, William Conely became a portrait, landscape, still life and marine painter. He lived in Lincoln and Atlanta, Illinois and in Detroit, Michigan where he was a charter member of the Detroit Art Association. In those towns, he opened and ran art schools and painted portraits of many of the citizens.
As an artist, he was primarily self taught, although he did study for a few months at the National Academy of Design. He fought and was wounded in the Civil War. He was the father of artist Katherine Conely Margah.
