Came to Winneshiek county, Iowa, in 1883, and in 1902 they made a home in Canada. They have four children, Ernest, living in Alta. Cloe Kline in Moville, Iowa, Roy and Myrtle at home. One brother, James Scofield, was with her for several weeks previous to her death. Mrs. Turner was a kind and loving mother and wife, always willing to help others, very patient during her sickness, and will be greatly missed by all.
