She became a Christian in her early life and united with the Baptist church. She was called to her heavenly home Feb. 15th in the morning. Mrs. Turk was one of God’s noble women, always a loving daughter and a faithful wife, as a mother there were few like her in kindness and devotion to her children. Four brothers and four sisters and her two little children, together with a host of friends mourn the loss of so kind a woman.
