J. C. Turner
James Crawford Turner passed away Monday evening at 8 o-clock, June 5, 1905, at his home in Sterling, Kansas, after an illness of a little over a week. On Saturday morning one week before, he ha a paralytic stroke that effected his whole left side, from which he never rallied. He was conscious for most of the time until a short time before his death. He suffered but little and passed out of this life into the next as one going to sleep. The funeral was held Wednesday morning, June 7th, at his home, conducted by Dr. Dobbyn of the Congregational Church. The attendance was very large, and as a mark of the high esteem in which he was held, all the business houses were closed during the funeral hour. A number of friends from different points came to pay their last respects.
Mr. Turner was born in Georgetown, Ohio, Aug. 22, 1843, and at his death was 61 years, 9 months and 13 days old. He was soldier in the war for the Union, a member of the 59th Ohio Infantry; having enlisted when he was eighteen and served less than a year. He was discharged on account of ill health. He moved to Windsor, Ill., in 1866 and engaged in the hardware trade. He was married to Miss Eunice L. Wallace, May 10, 1868, at Windsor, Ill. To this union were born eight children of whom the three youngest girls are living. He came to Sterling, Kan., in 1877 and went into the hardware business and here he lived until his death. He accumulated a competency and retired from active business about three years ago. He was a very quiet, unassuming man and to know him was to be his friend. He served as a member of the council a number of years and took an active interest in the welfare of the town. He has gone in and out among the Sterling people for twenty-eight years, and in point of residence was among its oldest citizens, and was known and honored by all.
