General Notes: Husband - Capt. George Turner
He was among the earliest settlers of Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, where he helped to build the old Graham grist and saw mill, which he operated for a number of years, at the same time conducting a farm. Selling out, he purchased another place, where his son, Lewis, later lived, improved the land and erected thereon good buildings. He erected the first frame house in the county, became a large land owner, and being an able financier was quite wealthy at his death. For some time he was extensively engaged in the manufacture of lumber, which he would raft down the river to market. He was a great hunter, and in the early day, game being quite plentiful, had ample opportunity to indulge in that sport. A man of prominence in the community, he took a leading part in public affairs and church work, contributing to the support of several churches in addition to the United Brethren denomination to which he belonged. He also gave liberally to foreign missions. In early life he was a Democrat, but later supported the Republican party. He was a captain in the militia, and one of the best at drill in the state.
He was a good financier, accumulating quite a fortune, and, as he often kept large sums of money in his house, he was at one time robbed of several hundred dollars, which he never recovered.
