Samuel Card Turner.

Samuel Card Turner was born in Sussex county, Maryland, on September 4th, 1844, and passed away April 8th, 1926, aged 81 years, 7 months and 4 days.

At Rock Island, Illinois, on January 16th, 1868, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary E. Smith. In 1882 Mr. Turner and his family came to Cass county, locating on a farm south of Anita, where they lived until 1898, at which time the family moved to Anita, which place has been the home of himself and Mrs. Turner.

Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Turner, and all of them, together with the wife and mother, are left to mourn the passing away of a true, christian husband and father. The children are Mrs. Effie Steinmetz of Anita; Mrs. Carrie Gilbaugh of Grettinger, Iowa; Mrs. Mabel Layman of Des Moines, Iowa; A. L. Turner, Walter C. Turner and Mrs. Iona Smither of Anita. One sister, Mrs. R. D. Vernon, also survives. Other relatives include nineteen grandchildren and twenty great grand-children.

Mr. Turner was a veteran of the civil war, being honorably discharged from the service at the close of the war in 1865. He was also an active member of the local Christian church.

Funeral services were held at the Christian church on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. LaVerne Morris. Interment was made in Evergreen cemetery. Members of Meade Post No. 50, G. A. R. and of Anita Post No. 210 American Legion attended the services, putting on their ritualistic work at the cemetery.
