TURNER DIES AFTER PROLONGED ILLNESS
Was 74 Years Old--Had Spent Entire Life Here

David A. Turner, 74 years old, died at his home, 223 Michigan avenue, yesterday morning. Turner was a member of the King Hill Lodge, A. F. A. M., and one of the oldest members of Custer Post No. 7, G. A. R. He had been failing for the past ten years, from hardening of the arteries and had been confined to his bed for the past nine months.

When 16 years old he enlisted in Company C, 25th Missouri infantry, and was engaged in many of the most important battles of the Civil war. Besides fighting in the battles of Pittsburg Landing, Shiloah, Kennesaw Mountain, Dalton, Jonesboro, and the capture of Atlanta, he was with Sherman on his famous march to the sea. He also was present at the grand review at Washington, D. C., during the Atlanta campaign. He was on the staff of Gen. O. A. Howard, commander of the army of the Cumberland.

Turner is survived by his wife and four children, Mrs. Goldie Korf, Mrs. Mary Carter, William A. Turner, and David A. Turner. He had been married twice. His first wife died several years ago. He owned a large fruit farm south of the city.

The funeral will be in charge of the Masons and will be held tomorrow afternoon at 1 oclock from the home. Silas Utz, Will Elder, Cal Hyde, John Roach, W. J. Klepper, and R. Lee Utz will be pallbearers. Burial will be in Register cemetery.
