the deceased.
About sixty years ago DR.. Turner
first saw the light of the day among
the good people of Chatham county
where his boyhood days were very
proftably spent under most con-
jenial surroundings. After reach
ing manhood he studied medicine
and after graduating naturally To-
Gated in that section which held so
many things near and dear to him.
Realizing that opportunity offered a
broader field in his endeavors, DR..
Turner located in High Point some
twenty odd years ago and was soon
recognized at his worth, as one of
the best physicians anywhere, a
man who put his whole soul into
his work and tried to help his fellow
man who was afflicted. He built up
a fine practice here but with his
strenuous life found time to serve
the city in the capacity of alderman,
on the school board, city physician.
Dr.. Turper was also largely instru-
mental in creating the Office of the
county physician.
In 1905 he married Miss Fan
ME Little, of Rockingham and to this
union was born one son, now eight
years Of age.
In June of this year DR.. Turner
became sick and gradually went in
to decline but he hung on to his
business with that courage and forti-
tuds that ever characterized his life.
He went to Jackson Springs in the
hope of being benefited but his con-
dition became alarming and he was
carried to Baltimore for consultation
with specialist who held out little
announcement, save absolute quiet
aud rest away from his ususual sur
roundings.
But his life was to be cut short
by an act of Divine Providence and
he peacefully passed away Saturday
afternoon.

He had heart within him as big
