DEATH OF MRS. TURNBULL
------------
Mrs. Mary Turnbull (nee Chaytor) wife of Edward Turnbull, died at her residence 
in this city Sunday evening. At noon on the 15th. inst, she was stricken with 
paralysis, after which time she never spoke, being unconscious most of the time 
till death relieved her more than four days later.  Miss Mary Chaytor was born 
in the village and parish of Primdon, Durham County, England, in 1810, and was 
married to Mr. Turnbull in 1840.  In 1845 Mr. Turnbull and family, consisting 
of his wife and three small children, emigrated to this country, and for a few 
years resided in the saline regions of the Kanawha Valley.  They then removed 
to Pomeroy, and have lived in the same house for 34 years.  Two children were 
born to them in this country, a son and a daughter, the latter dying in infancy 
33 years ago, and the only son dying 29 years ago last December, at the age of 
8 years.  Mr Turnbull has been superintendent of the Pomeroy Salt Company ever 
since he came to the place, and has also been a subscriber of this paper for 34 
years.  Mrs. Turnbull has been an exemplary Christian lady, and made a host of 
friends while living here.  She was 74 years, 8 months, and 7 days of age at 
the time of her death.  She leaves a husband and three daughters to mourn her 
loss.  The three daughters who survive her were all born in England, and are 
now married and have families of their own.  Mrs Frank T. Humphrey, of this 
city, Mrs. Thomas R. Jones, for the past six years a resident of London, Ohio, 
but formerly lived here, and Mrs. Donald McDonald, also of this city, are the 
names of the daughters, who were all present at the funeral.  The religious 
services were held at the residence at 5 o'clock yesterday evening, conducted 
by Rev. Stephen C. Frampton, of Athens, after which the remains were buried in 
the Beech Grove Cemetery.  The funeral procession was the largest seen here for 
a long time, there being thirty carriages and buggies, and a large number of 
persons on foot.
