OBITUARIES

TURNER FAMILY RECORDS

Departed this Life at the House of Thomas L. Leftwich in Liberty, on the 27th day of Nov., 1834, after a 
lingering disease which she bore with unusual Christian patience and resignation, Mrs. Sally Turner, relict 
of the late Rev. James Turner, aged 72 years, 10 months, 7 days.

She had been for a long time a member of the Presbyterian Church and before her death gave many evidences 
that she had set her house in order and was waiting the summons to depart and be with Christ.  "Blessed 
are the dead that die in the Lord."

Writer -- Rev. James Turner
"Some dates were added in my Grandmother's, Mildred Otey Turner, handwriting."

Died at his own house Tuesday evening, Jan. 8th, 1828, about 9 o'clock, the Rev. James Turner in his 
69th year, and for many years officiated with the Rev. James Mitchell as Pastor to the Peek's congregations.  
He was intered about 12 o'clock Thursday, followed to the grave by a large company of relatives, friends and 
neighbors, who mourned his loss as irreparable.

(This was entered by a friend)


Departed this life at her father's residence in Bedford, Sally L. Turner, on 22nd March 1828, a few minutes 
before 5 o'clock, being in the 27th year of her age, after a painful and distressing illness of more than 
two months.  She died in the full exercise of her reason.  She had been a member of the Presbyterian Church 
for a number of years and died with a very comfortable hope in Christ.




Died at the house of James Turner, his mother, the 13th of Jan., 1822, at 3 o'clock in the morning.  She was 
intered the same evening at Major Augustine Leftwich's by the side of her daughter, Mary Leftwich.  She had 
for many years made a consistent and reputable profession of religion.  A few of her last years were very 
uncomforgable to herself,owing to an evident derangement of her mental powers.

Before this unhappy event she had lived almost continually in the constant expectation and desire of her 
dissolution, that she might be with Christ.  Had she lived to see the 30th day of the following April, she 
would have been 90 years old.

Written by Rev. James Turner
