JONATHAN TURLEY is a native of this township (Marion Twp), born May 2, 1827,
son of BENJAMIN and PARMELIA (WRIGHT) TURLEY.  The grandparents came early
to Barren County, Ky., and in 1824 to this county (Lawrence Co., Indiana),
locating at Palestine.   Here the grandfather, AARON, died.  One of his
children was Benjamin, the father of Jonathan.  The father married Miss
Wright of Orange County, Indiana;  was a prominent and useful citizen and
farmer; was an Old Line Whig and a Republican, and was once Captain of
Militia.  Ten of his twelve children grew up.  Jonathan is a self-made man.
His youth was spent on the farm and in attendance at the subscription
schools.  He selected the occupation of farming and his success is shown by
his 430 acres and comfortable home.  In 1879 he began the distillation of
brandy ans some whisky, making from 600 to 1,800 gallons per year.  December
28, 1849, he married JULIA A. HALL, who was born in this county in 1828.
They have four children:  MARY F., SARAH J., ROBERT B. and ELIZA A.  Mr.
Turley is a Republican.  The mill is known as Daisy Spring Mill and is doing
a good business as it did in early times.  Mr. Turley is just commencing to
burn lime on an extensive scale.  He is an industrious and properous man.
