JAMES TURNER Died Here on Saturday

James F. Turner, for 62 years a resident of Winterset, died at his home on North Eighth avenue last Saturday. He was 77 years of age.

Mr. Turner was born Aug. 1, 1868, on a farm near Murray in Clarke county, the son of Peter and Susan Turner. The family came to Winterset when he was young, and here most of his life was spent.

His active years were spent as a contractor, and builder. He was also one of the pioneer automobile mechanics of this community.

He is survived by his wife, who was the former Hallie Gordon. He also leaves a daughter, Mrs. Berniece Horsburgh of Des Moines. His only son, Carlton, died in infancy. He also leaves a brother, Fred D. Turner, recently of St. Louis, Missouri.

Funeral services were held Monday from Anderson's Home for Funerals, in charge of the Revs. Tom Foglesong and L. F. Davis of the Church of Christ. Burial was made in the Winterset cemetery.
