MRS. J. T. TURLEY IS DEAD AT HOME AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS

Passes Away Thursday Afternoon at 5:20 O'clock - Suffered Attack of Pneumonia a Week Ago - Funeral Saturday Afternoon

Mrs. Artimintia Divver Turley died Thursday evening at 5:20 o'clock at her home, 326 West North street, after a brief illness with pneumonia. She was stricken just a week ago and the advanced age made her the more subject to the disease it was not until the first of th present week that hope of recovery was virtually abandoned. Unassuming in all her ways Mrs. Turley lived a faithful Christian life and thru years of usefulness and quiet devotion formed many friendships at once sincere and lasting.

Mrs. Turley was born in McCutcheonsville, O., June 3, 1843, and hence at the time of death was in her 73rd year. On her seventieth birthday, Mrs. Turley penned a brief sketch, suitable for obituary announcement and in this she tells of a trip in the early 50's by covered wagon from the Ohio home to Warren county, Ind., where she resided for a time before coming to Morgan county. It was in 1865 that Mrs. Turley came to this county. In 1870 she was married to James Thomas Turley. Mr. and Mrs. Turley resided on a farm three and a half miles west of Arcadia until 1893 when they removed to Jacksonville.

Mrs. Turley was a staunch member of Central Christian Church and her life and deeds are in full accord with her profession of faith.

The father, John Divver, and the mother, Mrs. Clarissa Henderson Divver have long since preceded Mrs. Turley in death, as have four sisters, Mrs. Angeline Henderson, Mrs. Mary Young, Mrs. Rose White, Mrs. Jennie Smith and a son, Arthur L. Turley, who passed away Sept. 10, 1895. The children surviving are Maude, wife of John Jordan, Jacksonville; Frank Turley of Spokane, Wash.; Miss Blanche Turley of this city and Roland Turley of Hayden, Ariz. The living brothers and sisters are Joseph Divver of Arenzville, Mrs. Elizabeth Stigall of Springfield and Mrs. Louise Conover of Ashland. Twelve grandchildren also survive.

The funeral will be held Saturday forenoon at 9 o'clock at the residence, 326 West North street, ikn charge of Rev. Myron L. Pontius, pastor of Central church. Burial at Arcadia cemetery will be preceded by a short service at Arcadia church.
