SOPHRONIA GEORGIA TURNER

Sophronia Georgia Turner was born in Grinnell, August 26, 1882, the youngest child of Walter and Martha Turner. Most of her life was spent here in Grinnell, where as a girl she attended the public schools and Grinnell College Academy.

For a time she, with her parents lived on a farm near Lynnville. After her mother's death twelve years ago, her father having died two years before, she came to Grinnell and made her home with her sister Rosie.

From girlhood she has been a sufferer from poor health, having spent nearly two years in the sanitarium of Oakdale. She bore her infirmities quietly, striving not to be a burden to others. She united with the Congregational church of Grinnell in 1906. She was a member of Mrs. D.S. Morrison's Sunday School class.

After a brief illness, she passed away Monday afternoon at three o'clock at the home of Miss Harriet Buck.

She is survived by her sister, Mrs. Rosie Powers of Ralston, Iowa; by three half brothers, Boston Turner of Lynnville and Benjamin and John Turner of Oregon; and by three half sisters, Mrs. Phoebe McCormick of Oklahoma, Mrs. Sarah Gould of Lynnville and Mrs. Lydia Height of Oregon.

A brief funeral service was conducted by Rev. E.W. Cross from the home of Miss Buck at 10:30 Wednesday morning, and another service was conducted by the pastor of the Friends Church at Lynnville, from the home of a nephew, William Turner. Interment was made in the Woodlawn Cemetery at Lynnville.
