General Notes: Husband - John Lambert Turner

---

He grew to manhood in Youngstown, Ohio, and worked in one of the iron mills of that town as a roller. In 1871 he superintended the erection of a rolling mill in Massillon, Ohio, and then went to Wyandotte, Michigan, as superintendent of the Wyandotte Rolling Mills, and was subsequently superintendent two years of the iron mills in Hamilton, Ontario. In April, 1881, he came to Greenville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and began operating coal mines in Butler County, which he sold out in December, 1886. In the meantime he bought out the grocery store of Kamerer & Leech, in February, 1884, and the firm of J. L. Turner & Son conducted a general grocery business. The family were attendants of the Presbyterian Church. Politically he was a Democrat, and a member of the R. A. and the Masonic fraternity.
