A. 11.. of which Mr. Turner.was a member. took charge of the Interment ut tho gravo. Mr. Turner was of English decent. He was born at Whitney, Oxfordshire, England, Out. 17, 1828, and emigrated to America and settled In Chadron, Gear.gu County, Ohio, in 1852. The fol lowing year, 1853, he married Miss Harriet Smith, eldest daughter of Mor ton nmt Caroline Smith, of Chadron, Ohio. His wife and a eon and daughter survive him.

After his discharge he sought to restore his health by change of climate. After Becking in vain for health in Missouri, California and Texas he came to Med ford in 18S7 and settled hero to spend ins last tin vs. Mr. Turner was n man of singular pur ity of life and probity of character. He gave largely of his small income for the support of the gospel and to reliovo uviiuio wiiu Hum in iiiBbroea. no wuo freouentlv soon with a basket of fruit or vegetables on some errand of mercy or charity. As a Christian he was very faithful and conscientious, attending every meeting of his church, unless ab solutely hindered. An example of his faithfulness may be seen in an incident which occurred just before he fell into n Bleep which was to end in death. It was prnyer meeting night and belonged to be at the meeting. This, however, was impossible, so he spent his last hour of conBciousness in a little uraver meet ing with a neighbor who was visiting him at the time. A fow hours later he quietly breathed his Inst and went to tho groat prayer and praise service who dio in the Lord. 1 . "Adklimibs." RESOLUTIONS OP RESPECT. At ii regular mooting of Chester A. Ann !
