General Notes: Husband - Joshua Allen Turner

---

His education was received primarily in the public schools of Tidioute, Pennsylvania, and finished at the State Normal School in Edinboro, Pennsylvania. At the age of nineteen years he began business life as a clerk in the grocery store of F. & A. Dunn, remaining with them for three years; he con­tinued for five years longer in the same busi­ness under the firm name of Dunn & Culver. He then became one of the partners in the establishment of a grocery store at Triumph, Pennsylvania, under the firm name of Dunn & Turner, Albert Dunn being his associate in the business. This continued successfully for a period of four years, when the firm changed its locality, removing its stock to North Clarendon; there it remained for three years, subsequently removing to West Hick­ory, where business was conducted five years longer. At this time Mr. Dunn's interest in the enterprise was purchased by George S. Turner, a brother of the junior partner, and the firm name became Turner Brothers. Under this style the store was conducted for the five following years, when Joshua A. Turner bought his brother out and established a gen­eral store which was continued until 1909. In this year he sold out to Harry H. Smith & Company and practically retired from busi­ness, confining his attention to his orange grove in Florida, near the city of St. Petersburg. There with his family he spent the winter seasons, residing during the remainder of the year at Tidioute, where his residence on Scott street was one of the most beautiful places in the borough. In politics Mr. Turner was a Demo­crat, though he was never particularly active in public life; he was, however, ap­pointed postmaster of West Hickory during the last administration of President Cleveland, and served seven years.
