He was born near Springfield, Mo. March 4, 1841. During the Civil War he brought his widowed mother to Mount Vernon, Franklin county, and left her with relatives and returned to his native State and joined the forces of Gen. Sterling Price. Except a short time in a Federal prison he served actively until the close of the war. After the war he came to Franklin county and engaged in farming. He married Miss Delia Holbrook at Mount Vernon, and his widow and three children survive him. Two of them, Herbert and Miss Effie Turner reside in Paris. Thirty-three years ago, Mr. Turner and his brother-in-law, Mr. Holbrook, came to Paris and engaged in the grocery business. After retiring from it he worked as a mechanic until prevented by physical infirmity. He had been a member of the Church of Christ since his youth and was regarded in the church at the time of his death as a noble old patriarch. The funeral service will be held at 5 o'clock this afternoon at the family residence conducted by Revs. F. L. Young and Lee Garrett. Interment will be made at Evergreen cemetery."
