Charles C. Conger

Charles Cuthbert Conger (April 7, 1840 – June 6, 1888) was an American stockbroker, military officer and politician who served in the California State Senate from 1880 to 1883. He previously served as County Clerk of the United States District Court in Washoe County, Nevada. He later served eight years on the California Stock Board.

Following the defeat of William Ormsby's militia in the First Battle of Pyramid Lake, Conger joined a volunteer force organized by John Coffee Hays to defeat the Paiute forces of war chief Numaga. Conger later served as adjutant and first lieutenant in the 8th California Infantry Regiment during the Civil War, although that unit never saw combat.
