Franklin County Resident Passes Away While Visiting Daughter In This City.
Mrs. Margaret Turner died yesterday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. G. W. Belcher, on Wilson Street, after a confinement to her bed for about two weeks. The deceased has been visiting her daughter here for the past two months, and has been in feeble health for years.
Mrs. Turner was 73 years of age and was a member of the Primitive Baptist Church, being regarded by all who knew her as a conscientious Christian woman.
She was the mother of the following living children: Mrs. Lucy Lovell of Figsboro; Mrs. S. W. Jamerson, Mrs. G. W. Belcher; the Messrs. M. D. and W. M. Turner, all of this city; Mr. J. W. Turner of Franklin County; Messrs A. C., G. C., C. H. and W. J. Turner, all of Figsboro, Henry County. The remains will be taken back to her old home this morning for burial. The surviving members of the family have the sympathy of many sorrowing friends in their bereavement.
