The Cherokee Advance 14 Oct 1882 p 2
Obituary
Another "Mother in Israel" is gone!  another saint departed! How mysterious are
thy ways, O God!  His judgements are past finding out.  "It is appointed unto
man, once to die and after death, the judgement."  But Death has been robbed of
its sting and the grave of victory, and "precious in the sight of the Lord is
the death of His Saints." 

We all knew sister Turk, and to know, was to love her.

She had outlived her three score and ten, the time allotted to man.
And for more than fifty years of her life, she had been a devoted follower of
the Master.  Truly may it be said of her--"As she grew in years, she grew
stronger in faith and love to Him.  His word was her meat upon which she daily
feasted.  Her motto was--"As you would die, so you must live"--Therefore resolved
First, That, in the death of sister Turk, this community has lost a great
benefactor and a true and tried friend, the church a faithful member and an
exemplary christian.
The husband has lost a devoted and affectionate wife, and the son a tender
loving mother.  Resolved
Second, That we tender the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in this
irreparable loss-That a copy of this preamble and resolutions be furnished the
family of the deceased, also a copy to the Cherokee Advance for publication and
the same be spread upon the record of the church upon a page dedicated to that
purpose.                   Jabez Galt,
                           Ch'rm of Comm.
