Benjamin F. Conley

Benjamin F. Conley

Benjamin F. Conley (March 1, 1815 - January 10, 1886) was an American politician.

Conley served as the Governor of Georgia from 1871 to 1872 during Reconstruction and was the second Republican governor of Georgia (another Republican would not become governor until 2003, when Sonny Perdue was sworn in after being elected the previous November). Conley was serving as the president of the Georgia Senate when his predecessor, Rufus B. Bullock, was forced to resign. As the Senate president, Conley assumed the governorship and served for only two months. Conley's previous political service included the office of Mayor of Augusta, Georgia from 1857 to 1859.

Conley was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1815 and moved to Savannah, Georgia, in his youth. Conley died in 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia, in an area known at the time as West End. Conley was buried in Atlanta's Magnolia Cemetery.
