Obituary
 
J. M. Turner, an old timer in Payette succumbed on Monday to heart failure.  
At the time of his seizure Mr. Turner was working for Dr. I. R. Woodward.  
Just as he was driving out of the Hubert yard on South 9th Street, with a load 
of dirt he was hauling.  Mr. Turner fell from the wagon.  By standers at once 
came to him.  Dr. I. R. Woodward and Coroner Glen Landon were immediately sent 
for .  There was no inquest as the doctor pronounced his death, which was 
practically instantaneous was from heart failure.
 
J. M. Turner was born in Malard, Iowa on the 21st of March, 1853 and would 
have been seventy-one years old had he lived till the 21st of this month.  He 
lived in Payette for nearly twenty years.  His first wife preceeded him in 
death several years ago and he is survived by his second wife and a step 
daughter of Payette and one son, Lew Turner of Malard, Iowa.  This son visited 
his father last fall when the two went deer hunting.  The old gentleman was 
very proud of the fact that he brought home his deer, certainly no small 
accomplishment for a man of seventy.  The body is at the Landon Home 
Undertaking Parlors, pending funeral arrangements which will not be made until 
the arrival of Lew Turner who is expected in Payette on Thursday afternoon.
 
Mr. Turner was an untiring worker as is instanced by the fact that he died at 
his post.  It was to his never failing in the spring that so many of our 
leaves and gardens owed their beauty later in the summer.  Mr. Turner had many 
friends who will mourn his loss.
