WILLIAM TURNER 

DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM TURNER 

He Was Taken Ill While Walking About His Premises and Died in a Few Minutes 

  Mr. William Turner, one of Portsmouth's best known and respected citizens, 
died suddenly this morning at 8:50 o'clock at his home, corner of Glasgow and 
Armstrong Streets, Park View. 

  Mr. Turner had apparently been enjoying good health up to the time of his 
death.  He was walking about the rear of his premises this morning when he was 
taken ill and fell to the ground.  When found he was unconscious.  He was 
carried to his room, where he passed away in a very few minutes.  Death was 
caused, it is stated, from heart trouble. 

  Mr. Turner had reached the advanced age of 75 years.  He is survived by a 
wife and one son - Mr. A.M. Turner.  The deceased was a native of Isle of 
Wight County, but had resided in Portsmouth for about fifty years. 

  The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at his late 
residence.
