Shirley:
Do you have a "George Turner" listed in your Turner family?
I am a Preston-Smith researcher and the name "GeorgeTurner" appears in the
history of John Phineas Preston.
On April 27, 1900, George was appoint the guardian of J. Phineas Preston.
J. P. had no income, so George sold J. Phineas' farm to pay for J. P .'s
care.
The last bill paid to George Turner was dated June 3, 1906. So apparently it
was at that time that poor senile Phineas was transferred to the county
infirmary in or new Selma (?).
The story passed on down to me states that when he died, Phineas may have
been buried at the cemetery adjoining the county infirmary as there is no
evidence that he was buried at the Macadonia Cemetery with his wife, Mary.
And that the people who died at the infirmary were all buried in unmarked
graves.
So is there any way to confirm when Phineas died?
Your comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

Bob,
I'm interested in your Turner line. I'm connected to the Turner line
through Jane, sister to Minus Turner and daughter to Bevans Turner.

In researching my family, surname BALL, I've run across a Mary
Ellingwood, burned in Beech Grove Cemetery in Muncie, in a lot in which
mostly "BALL" family members are buried. She may be tied to the
"PARKER"
or "RHODES" name as well. Would be more than willing to share what I
have.
