General Notes: Husband - Samuel Turner

---

He remained on the farm assisting his father till he was twenty-six years old. He seemed to think he could make something of the farm in Mineral township, Venango County, that his brothers, William and John, had successively tried and abandoned. The farm, what there was of it not covered with rocks and loose stones, was good enough but there was so little of it.
There was one flat rock so large that he used it as a threshing floor on which to thresh out his grain with a "poverty club," as they called a flail. In the course of four or five years he grew dissatisfied with this stony farm and he left it and came to Wolf Creek township, Mercer County, and bought a farm of Samuel O. Waldron, an old settler; it was near a small village called Centretown. On this farm was a large log grist mill with two run of stones. He would work on his farm clearing it up during the day and run the mill till late at night. He died as he lived: working. He was mowing in company with two of his sons, he in the lead, when he remarked "Let us stop and whet." He had just begun to whet his scythe when he fell over backward and expired.
