CHARLES HENRY TURNER
02 Nov 1862 - 05 Apr 1923

	Charles H. Turner, son of William and Susan Turner, died of 
chronic bronchitis in Orlando, Fla., Thursday evening, April 5, 
1923, aged 60 years, 5 months and 5 days.  Born on the farm from 
which he is buried, he lived there all his life, but passed away in 
Florida in search of health.  He graduated from the Orland graded 
and normal school with the class of 1882. Although a successful 
teacher for two or three winters, he chose to work the home farm 
with his parents.  Later he bought the adjoining farm and worked 
both as long as he was able.
	April 12, 1894, he married Lucy Shutts, of Jamestown, and 
built the present home the following year.  Into this home came 
three daughters, Hilda, Mrs. Marian Keyes and Willa, who, with their 
mother, survive him.
	He was trustee of Millgrove Township and during his 
administration the new high school was built.  To his foresight we 
are indebted for the beautiful building which even now is too small 
for present needs.  For many years he has been a member of the 
Orland Congregational Church in which he was a deacon at the time of 
his death.	
	Everyone knew Charlie Turner.  As a young man he was a good 
student, an earnest teacher, a diligent farmer, a lover of nature.  
In fact he never lost his youth.  He was the companion of his 
daughters in their hopes and ambitions.  Among his keenest delights 
were their excursions together studying birds and butterflies and 
flowers.  In his home he was all that could be wished, a generous 
provider, a considerate husband and an enthusiastic father.  As a 
citizen he was honorable and dependable; as an office holder, above 
reproach; a Christian, clean, generous, sincere.  He died as he has 
lived, earnest and unafraid.
	Of his immediate family there also remain two sisters, Mrs. C. 
O. Jones and Mrs. C. C. Mitchell, both of Orland.  
	The funeral was held from his home Monday afternoon, conducted 
by Rev.John Humfreys, of Angola. The out of town friends present 
were Mrs. Elle Turner Smith, Quincy, Mich., and Mr. Frank Whitney, 
of Columbus, Ohio.

collection, #1 through #22, compiled at Audree Siebel Lewis, located 
at the Angola Public Library, Angola, Indiana.
