Word and Work, Vol. 23, No. 10, October 1930, p. 291
Falvius Josephus Turner

On July 23, 1930, Flavius Josephus Turner fell asleep in Jesus.  He was truly
one of God’s great and good men, and knowing him as I do, nothing too good can
be said of him.  He was one of the most lovable, humble, patient, and strong
Christina characters that I have ever known.  Uncle Joe, as we affectionately
knew him, was the youngest son of R. W. Turner of Andalusia, Alabama, one of the
pioneer gospel preachers in Alabama, being a co-worker with brethren Samuel
Jordan and J. M. Barnes; was born on October 26, 1864, grew to manhood and
taught school at Andalusia, later moving to Montgomery, Ala.  A short while
later he married Miss Mamie Ivey and moved to Selma, Alabama, where he entered
the Postal service of the Government and remained continuously in such service
until October 26, 1939, when he was retired on maximum pay without a demerit
against his record.  Over thirty years ago he confessed his faith in Christ and
was baptized into Him, and none could be found, I am sure, that would say he was
ever untrue to that confession.  He is survived by his wife and five children,
four boys and one girl, one of the boys being R. W. Turner of Birmingham, Ala,
who has served the Tarrant City congregation in this vicinity for five
continuous years as their minister.  We sorrow not as others who have no hope,
believing that if we are faithful the sad separation of today will be
overshadowed by the glad reunion of tomorrow.  Bro. W. C. Graves of Birmingham,
Ala., spoke words of comfort to the loved ones left behind.

A Niece.
