out for yourself.
Frank Keenan, and Lydia Knott are
the oldest members of the cast, yet
they had not seen the light of day

Will r, Turner

Friends were shocked at the sudden
passing of Will +. Turner, one Of Au-
gusta's oldest and best known bust
ness men, which occurred early Sum
day morning at his home on Capitol
street. While Mr.. Turner had not
been in the best of health for the past
several months, his condition was not
considered grave until Saturday morn
ing, when he suffered an attack of an
gina pectoris. He rallied, however,
and was thought to be on the road to
recovery, only to succumb to the Sec
ond attack.
Born September 25, 1859, at SO Cap
itol street, living there all his life
and then passing away in the same
house is not usual thing, yet it typi-
fies Mr.. Turner, who, while he had a
large circle of friends, was a home
lover. He was educated in the public
schools of Augusta, graduated from
Dirigo Business College and was en-
ployed for a time at the post office,
later to enter the employ of Vickery
& Hill as printer, for whom he work.

he opened the grocery store on Capitol
street and for 81 years conducted this
business with more than ordinary sue
cess.

known to young and old alike, had a
host of friends. A lover of children,
many a tot has clutched her first pen
ny and made her initial purchase of
candy at Turner's, to be treated with
kindly consideration, for Mr.. Turner
was lover of children. After the days
work was done, neighbors would gath
er at his store to discuss the topics of
the day, for he was the most genial of
men, and while the circle may gather
once more there will be a vacant place.
Never more will he Join in their talks
and in their jokes. No more will his
smiling face greet them as they enter.
The voice that welcomed them is for
ever still. He is in the land of his
fathers. the land of never ending joy
and peace.

A firm believer in the principles of
the Odd Fellows. Mr.. Turner was the
oldest as to length of membership in
the local lodge.
He is survived by his wife and three
