General Notes: Husband - George W. Turner


His early life was spent with his parents in their home in western New York. Public schools near their residence furnished his education, and he later attended the Gaines Academy. When nearly sixteen years of age he went with his parents to Warren County, Pennsylvania, coming to Tidioute about 1832, when only eighteen years of age, and he then embarked in business for himself, conducting a store of general supplies, which after a few years he sold. While keeping store he received, from authorities during the administration of President Andrew Jackson, an appointment as postmaster of Tidioute, and was the second incumbent of this office after the location of a postoffice there. After giving up his store in Tidioute he went west and conducted business in Ohio and Minnesota, returning in 1860 to Warren County, Pennsylvania. He then bought out his father, and became owner of his famous hotel. Later, however, he exchanged this piece of property for a farm about three miles outside of Tidioute. In 1865 he sold out his agricultural interests and again returned to Tidioute, purchasing a house, and adding afterwards the property which his children inherited later. He was a gentleman of the old school, warmly esteemed by all who knew him. He was a member of the Universalist church to which he gave liberal support. He also belonged to Warren Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In politics he took an active part, devoting himself to Democratic principles. He owned a family lot in the Tidioute cemetery, where a monument was later erected to mark the last resting place on earth of himself and other members of the Turner family.
