Georgia Enterprise, February 25, 1897
DEATH’S SAD ROLL
     Early last Friday morning, Feb. 19, Dr. W. G. Turney, a well known dentist 
of this city, was found dead in his room. He was sitting lifeless in a rocking 
chair, with a lamp burning on the table near by, and several books and papers 
were by his side, which he had evidently been reading. There was no marks of 
violence on his person and no evidence that he had taken any poisonous 
medicine. He had been complaining several days, but was  not sick enough to go 
to bed. At the coroner’s inquest Friday a verdict was rendered to the effect 
that in the opinion of the jury he came to his death from some heart trouble. 
Dr. Turney was a fine dentist, an excellent musician and a social gentleman. He 
came from Pennsylvania to Atlanta several years ago and from that city moved to 
Covington, where he has been living for  the past five or six years. His body 
was buried in the city cemetery Saturday, members of the Covington Band acting 
as pallbearers. Rev. T. J. Swanson  conducting the funeral services.
