THOMAS TURNER OBITUARY
CLARK COUNTY HERALD
13-MARCH-1889


   Thomas Turner died last Wednesday evening at 9:45, after an illness of nearly 
35 weeks, during which he bore his terrible suffering with great fortitude.
   Thomas Turner was born in Derbyshire, England, on Dec 25th, 1825, and was an 
only son.   His father married again several years after his mother’s death and 
was the father of several children by this second wife.
   In 1851, Mr. Turner came to America, landing in New York, where he soon 
secured employment.   He lived in the State of New York and Pennsylvania for 
several years and during that time returned twice to England.
   In 1861 he came to Martinsville and opened a tailoring establishment.   On 
Sept 3, 1862, he married Miss Rhoda Macey, who survives him.
   In 1878, Mr. and Mrs. Turner has been an ardent temperance worker, having 
done more to promote that cause than any other two persons in Marshall.
   He joined the Methodist Church a short time before his death, but has been 
identified as closely with that church as many of its members for several years, 
filling the position of trustee very acceptably for one or more terms.
