The death of Mr.. William A. Turk,
passenger traffic manager of the
| Southern Railway, at his home in
Washington, last Saturday night,
| comes as a genuine shock to his legion
of friends and associates in and out of
the railroad service. Mr.. Turk was
perhaps the most picturesques and best
known passenger official in the United
States. and his effervescing good nature
and hearty manner made friends for
him wherever he went. For years be
occupied distinctly unique position
in Southern passenger circles, and the
esteem in which he was generally held,
as well as by the management of the
Southern Railway, is best shown in
this tribute, paid him by President
Samuel Spencer: I'm Mr.. Turk g death
the Southern Railway has lost not only
splendid official, but most valuable
asset in his parsonage as WE'LL" This
measure of esteem is more strikingIy
portrayed in the extraordinary honor
paid his memory by the company in
draping its passenger and ticket offices
throughout the United States for
period of thirty days.-Railway News,
April is.
Seldom has the death of a railroad
man occasioned equally Widespread and
deep sorrow among his friends and
acquaintance, as that attendant upon
the recent end of the life of VIM. A.
Turk, passenger traffic manager of the
Southern system. The announcement
was shock to every one who knew
him. Mr.. Turk was great man,
physically, mentally and in nature, so
that it can be said of him without ex-
aggeration, he was a conspicuous ex
ample of nobility of character, broad
mindedness and loveable disposition.
He was the personification of loyalty
and charitable in thought and action
1t is not strange, therefore, that his
companionship was sought where ever
be went, by the young and the mature
in life, and that today his death is
sincerely mOurned throughout the
entire country. Mr.. TUX had been
with the Southern and it's affiliated |
properties for q years. He also was
