In the picture, left to right Bill Stout, Fresno, Calif., Newt Turner, Hammon, and Lloyd Stout, Elk City.

In September 1963 Newt was living in/near Hammon.

Edited extract of Glen Crane's Eulogies:
Newt Turner was born 8 March 1891 in Ola Navajoe east of Altus, Oklahoma Territory, died 6(sic) March 1979(sic) Elk City, Oklahoma.

Newt and his first wife, Eliza Caroline Stanford, were married on 10 September 1911 in Hammon, Oklahoma, while sitting in a buggy. Eliza was born 7 September 1895, near Breckenridge, in the Necessity Community, Stephens County, Texas, died 30 May 1954 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, while visiting her daughter. Newt and Eliza had seven children together.

Newt married 2nd, Opal Willis at Hammon, Oklahoma, September 1956.

When Newt Turner was two years old the family moved to Wapanucka, where they ranched and farmed for several years. In 1894, they moved to Pauls Valley, where they lived for five years. They then moved to Old Day County, Oklahoma Territory, Now Roger Mills County, Oklahoma, to a ranch west of Hammon, Oklahoma, where Newt spent the remainder of his life. He was a farmer and rancher.

Note: Crane Cemetery book has the death date as 6 March 1979 in error. The Beckham County, Death Cert Index shows date as 10 March 1978 is correct.
