General Notes: Husband - Jacob Turney, Sr.


Early in life he located at Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and afterwards 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.
