General Notes: Husband - Jacob Turney, Sr.


Early in life he located at Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and after-wards held the offices of county commissioner, county treasurer, etc. He was an active democratic politician, and on his return from a State convention at Harrisburg, to which he had been sent as a delegate, he contracted a cold while crossing the mountains, from the effects of which he died some years later.


General Notes: Wife - Margaret Singer

from Carlisle, Cumberland Co, PA

Even at ninety years of age, she was in the clear possession of unimpaired mental faculties, an intelligent, sprightly, and witty lady, a woman of remarkable accuracy of memory, as unclouded then as ever.
