(7 Feb 1918, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
DEATH OF R. H. TURNER
R. H. Turner, aged 89 years, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. N.
Glasgow, Monday, February 4th.  Funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon at the daughter's home and burial was had at the Ural cemetery,
in charge of M. L. Chandler.
Grandpa Turner was born in Tennessee, where he married.  He and his wife
lived together nearly fifty years.  They moved to Texas in 1852 and to
Oklahoma in 1895.  Mrs. Turner died in 1903.
Four children survive, Mrs. J. H. Winton, Fresno, California; Mrs. M. H.
Neeley, Gainsville, Texas; Mrs. W. N. Glasgow, Elk City and J. E. Turner

The deceased is the last member of his father's family, he having had
seven brothers.  In early life he identified himself with the M. E.
Church, South, and ever lived a true christian.  While he does not leave
much worldly goods he leaves the memory of a true, clean honest man, one
with many admirable traits, and of whom his children can ever speak with
pride.
