General Notes: Husband - E. K. Turner


He was reared to manhood on the home farm in Graham township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and he was educated in the district schools of the neighborhood. Throughout his entire business career he successfully engaged in lumbering and farming in Clearfield County, owning the old homestead, given him by his father, which comprised one hundred acres, as well as other valuable tracts. His first purchase, which was in 1878, consisted of one hundred acres in Bradford township; in 1893 he bought seventy-five acres adjoining his home farm, and, in all, his landed possessions came to aggregate 275 acres of rich and productive land in Graham and Bradford townships, which yielded a golden tribute for the care and labor bestowed on them.
In politics he was a stalwart Democrat; fraternally, he was affiliated with the Knights of Pythias, and was also a member of Welcome Council, No. 406, American Mechanics, of Morrisdale. He and his wife are active and consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of Centre Hill, in which he served as class leader, steward and trustee.

He attended the common schools in Graham Township and spent two terms in the State Normal. School at Millersville. His life afterward was devoted to lumbering, farming and milling. In 1908 he purchased a grist mill from Harvey Reidy and operated it, handling grain and flour quite extensively. He received 100 acres of the homestead farm from his father and later purchased 175 additional acres. For some years he was a large dealer in stock.
He and his family attended the Methodist Episcopal church. He was a Republican in politics and served as a member of the school board. Mr. Turner was one of the leading members of the Grange at Wallaceton.
