Obituary

The following obituary appeared in the 2 Jan 1933 
edition of the Elberton Star newspaper: 

"MR. L. H. TURNER DIES IN ATLANTA. 

"Mr. L. H. Turner, 80 years old, native Rockdale county,
popular resident and business man of Elberton for more
than fifty years, died at the Piedmont Sanitarium in
Atlanta Monday morning following an illness of two or 
three weeks duration.

"Mr. Turner was in the general merchandise and hardware
business in Elberton for many years. He was an honorary 
member of the board of stewards of the First Methodist
Church at the time of his death. He was formerly 
superintendent of the Sunday school, ---- and was a 
lovable citizen who enjoyed the esteem and friendship
of hundreds of people in his adopted county and 
throughout the state. 

"Mr. Turner married a daughter of the late J. Hop Brewer,
one of the leading citizens of the county. She preceded
him to the grave about a year ago. 

"Mr. Turner's body was brought to Elberton last night and
carried to his home on Church street where the funeral 
services will be conducted at 2 o'clock by his pastor,
Rev. John Yarbrough, of the First Methodist church. 
Interment will follow at Elmhurst cemetery."
