Robert L. Turner, old time citizen
and veteran of the civil war, died al

evening, February &c, 1912, of Apo

he suddenly became helpless. He was
Unconscious Friday night but Monday
morning showed better symptoms and
his sleep was more natural. Adverse
conditions appeared at about five o.

death ensued about nine-thirty o'clock
There was nothing of suffering or

unlocked for by those intimately &C.
quainted with him is a shock to the
community and occasions wide spread
grief and regret. Mr.. Turner has been
failing in health since last November.
The tendency toward , apoplexy de.
veloped about Thanksgiving when the
first stroke appeared. 1t was light
however and the patient soon recov-
cred and was about again with his
wonted activity. Intimate friends have
noted declining health and medical
attention was necessary from time TO

treasurer and historian of the Horn

old soldiers which met in reunion in

planned to go with his regiment to
the Shiloh battlefield in April of this
year to celebrate the fiftieth anniver.

and being had for weeks been center.

this trip and there is touch of pathos
in the taking off of the old soldier at
this time. Robert Turner was a good

will be missed. He leaves a widow

BIG THINGS FOR PENN
Plat of Revised Grounds and New
Buildings Finished.

The various plans for the numerous
improvements at Penn College are
gradually assuming form and shape.
These plans have been incorporated
in a large plat OF the college grounds
and this has just been completed, as
the result of recent survey. The
new buildings proposed have all
found location and the whole
scheme has been laid out in a most
effective manner.
The new administration building is
to find a place on the corner of Col
lege avenue and North c street, on
the site of the present tennis courts.
The building will front on College
avenue, with the west side on North
c street, opposite the well known
south hall. The new dormitory will
find a location on the site of the
present east hall and will front tow
ard the college grounds, with the
south side on College avenue.
The joint committee from the
Board of Trustees of Penn College
and from the Chautauqua Association
have practically agreed on their
plans and the new auditorium will
probably be located in the open space
a little to the east OF the east end OF
the present college building and be-
tween the college and the pond
There is a natural slope to the land
here, which will accommodate the
popular bowled floor, which is so Of
ten used in public auditoriumS.
The building will be $50 feet in
diameter and will provide for an aud
fence of over $500 people. The plat
form will be at the lower or north
end and will be supplied with ample
accommodations for dressing rooms
and there will also be no post sup,
ports to obstruct the'view of the aud.
fence. The contract for this work
will probably be let in q few days, as
| it is the desire of the college people
to have the building in readiness for
the commencement season of 1912.
I Future conditions NAV possibly ne
cessitate some slight changes in some
OF the details, but the above scheme
Is practically decided and as far as
may be possible, will be carried out
as rapidly as the financial affairs OF
the college will permit. Penn College
is doing grand work and these new
buildings will be a wonderful aid tc
! their efficiency in future years.
