Obituary
Died - on Wednesday, Sept. 23rd, after a long and painful illness Mrs. Minnie A Turner, in
her 25th year.
The subject of this notice was born in Germany, in July, 1860 and with her parents, came
to America in 18--. In 18-- she was united in marriage to Mr. Chas. F. Turner. For the
past two years their home has been in Chicago. About a year ago, Mrs. Turner's health
gradually grew worse. Thinking a change of air might be beneficial she was brought to her
brother's Mr. Charles Kettle, and for a time greatly improved in health. Just at a
time when it was thought she might recover, an attack of dyssentary came on, and the poor
feeble body was unable to successfully cope with this dread disease, and at last the brave
spirit fled from its earthly house of suffering.
Mrs. Turner's loss was a terrible blow to her husband, family and friends. The
funeral services were held at the M. E. Church, in Chesterton, on Friday, at 2 o'clock
P.M., Rev. Z. Lambert officiating. The remains were followed to their last resting place
in the Chesterton cemetery by hosts of friends. Mrs. Turner leaves a husband, two
brothers, two sisters and father and mother, with many other relatives to mourn her loss.
They have the sympathy of the entire commnity in this, their hour of sorrow.
