After graduating from Princeton University and Columbia Law School, he practiced law at Newark for a short while before moving to Texas where he engaged in ranching. Conover there met his wife, Cornelia Fitzhugh, whom he married on September 11, 1895. They had three children: Carroll Fitzhugh Conover (b. circa June 1896), Helen Field Conover (b. 21 March 1898) and Alida Van Rensselaer Conover (b. 6 February 1900).
In 1900, Conover moved to Bay City, Michigan where he concentrated on managing his wife's real estates in Bay County.
In the 1920s, he lived at New Port Richey, Florida. He died on June 5, 1930 at Charleston, South Carolina at age 71.
