OTIS TURNER

	A representative and substantial citizen, whose life of industry and 
wise management has brought him the reward of a fine estate, the man, whose 
name heads this paragraph, is one of the leading and prominent young 
agriculturists of Umatilla county. His flattering success in the years in 
which he has wrought in this county presages a brilliant future in active 
financial enterprises.
	He was born to Samuel and Cynthia A. Turner, on April 16, 1870, in 
Bozeman, Montana, and nine years later came with them to this county. Here he 
finished his education, began in his native state, and when he became of age 
began operations as a farmer for himself. In this capacity he has been 
markedly successful, owning now in company with his brother, O. C. Turner, who 
is mentioned elsewhere in this volume, over four hundred acres of fine soil, 
all of which is kept in a high state of cultivation and gives excellent annual 
returns. His estate is three and one-half miles north from Weston, and is one 
of the most finely kept farms to be seen in this section of the country. In 
addition to this he owns stock in the Farmer’s bank in Weston, besides 
considerable other property. 
	Mr. Turner is affiliated with the Knights of Pythias and the Pioneers 
of the Pacific, both in Weston. His mother is still living in Weston, but his 
father died in 1898. He enjoys the confidence and esteem of his fellows, as 
well as of all who may have the pleasure of his acquaintance.
