Virginian-Pilot, June 8 & 10, 1905
Mr. Peter Turney, one of Norfolk's oldest and most highly respected citizens, 
died at 1:45 o'clock this morning at the Turney Home for Boys in Bank Street, 
after an illness of several months. Mr. Turney was in the 82d year of his age 
and is survived by his widow and one sister, Mrs. L. L. Lamb, of Chicago.

interests for many years. He came to this city shortly after the Civil War, and 
for a number of years was engaged in business, from which he retired to devote 
his time to the Turney Home for Boys, which he founded, and which is one of the 
city's prominent charitable institutions.

[June 9th] afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Boys' Home, No. 268 Bank Street, and

assisted by Rev. C. L. Bane of the Cumberland Street Methodist Church. The
