Atlanta Constitution, 18 January 1882
Death in Henry County.

Monroe Advertiser-
Mr. Allen W. Turner, an old and highly respected citizen of McDonough, Henry 
county, died on Sunday, the 8th instant.  He was the father of Hon. J. H. 
Turner, judge of our county court.  Mr. Turner had lived in Henry county thirty-
five years, and was very popular with his fellow citizens.  He has represented 
his county in the legislature several times and served with Senator Brown in 
the state senate in 1849 with distinction.  His character was noble and his 
deeds magnanimous.  Possessed of a large fortune, he was especially kind to the 
poor, and in him they always found a true and devoted friend.  No man in this 
county will be so sadly missed.  His charities and deeds of kindness were 
quietly and unostentatiously done and the satisfaction to him consisted in a 
knowledge that the wants of others, in need, were supplied.  He had attained to 
a ripe old age and his children and friends know that when the messenger came, 
it closed a life of honor and usefulness.
