Turner, a former well known resident of Carpenter and Jordan townships. His death occurred at Idaville about January 4, as near as Mr. Gray could learn. He was living with a family there who had been employed by his guardian to take care of him, and burial was made at Idaville, it is understood. Mr. Turner was uged almost 92 years, Mr. Gray worked for the old gentleman for quite n long time while he resided in Jordan township; and the latter was here and visited the Gray family about a week last August. Mr. Turner, who had never married, resided for several years on a section of land three miles north of Remington, on the range line road, which extended north to the Jordan township line. He was a very ardent Seventh Day Adventist, and whem he sold this section, some twenty years ago, he is said to have given one-half the proceeds to that cause. He then bought a small timbered farm over in Jordan township, which be sold a few years ago, but at the time of his deatb owned a little land in Missouri and Arkansus, which is said to be worth some $3,000 to $6,000, and it is understood that this and any other* property that he left goes to the Adventist church.
