Tudder, Hellene

Tudder Child Dead
The three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Tudder, living west of Shambaugh, passed away Tuesday noon in the Kennelworth hospital at Clarinda. Little Hellene had not been well for some time, being subject to bowel trouble. On Monday the parents secured some medicine, of the kind which had given relief before. Being no better on Tuesday, they brought the little girl to the hospital for treatment. The baby seemed to have cramps of the bowels, for which relief waa given, but the baby had a spasm, similar to the one she had experienced the day before. The two recurrences of the spasm seems to have brought on an affection of the lung, which, with the other complications, brought on the death of the little one, who was beloved by many friends and will be sadly missed in the home. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon, at the home, the services being conducted by the United Presbyterian pastor of College Springs Rev. N. J. Calhoun, after which the little body was taken to Elmo for interment. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 22, 1917

Turner, Ella Jane Dugan

Mrs. J. E. Turner. Etta Jane Dugan   was born in 1874 on the farm near Coin where her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel B. Dugan, still reside. She attended the public school in that district  and  also  attended Amity College, growing from a bright and happy childhood into a modest and refined womanhood—a well rounded character    and    sweet disposition. Joining her father's farm was the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Turner.    Both families    were pioneers in Page county, coming here from  Pennsylvania.      Among the boys of the Turner    family was one,  Ed.,  who grew  to  love the sweet-faced girl on   the adjoining farm, and as they attended school and college together their acquaintance was thorough    and the love was mutual, and   deeply founded. On March 13, 1895, they married. Soon after   Mr.    Turner's health failed and he was advised to go west.   A moving wagon   and out­fit was fixed up and they went by easy stages to   western Nebraska, Mr. Turner's father accompanying them to drive the team and to help Etta care for thee sick young man who was unable even   to sit up. They settled near Palisade, Nebr., on a farm, and Mr. Turner's health began to improve at    once, and they have made their home there ever since,    prospering    financially and    living    very    happily.    They were childless until the fateful day, Tuesday, October   26,   1909. The day which they had been   looking forward to so long, left the husband bereft of wife and babe, at once childless again and alone.
The remains were brought back to Coin Saturday night, Oct. 30, and on the following day a funeral service was held at the home of Mrs. J. W. Turner in Coin, attended by many sorrowing relatives and friends. Because of the inclement weather the burial was postponed until Monday, when mother and babe were laid to rest together in  Elmwood Cemetery.
Mrs. Turner was in every way a beautiful character. A true wife and home-maker, a loving daughter and sister, a diligent worker in the church, she had even greater possibilities in her deep nature and had the good Lord spared her, she would have attained the highest development of her nature in the motherhood to which her life was sacrificed. But she trusted in the Lord implicitly and all her people are devout Christians and will find comfort in the source of her strength.
Besides her husband, father and mother, there survive her, one brother, Will, of near Coin, and one sister, Mrs. Belle Bodeman, who makes her home with the father and mother. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 11, 1909

Turner, James W.
All over Page county the friends of J. W. Turner have been saddened by the news of his death at his home in Coin, Wednesday, July 25th, after a prolonged illness. Six weeks ago Mr. Turner was very low with a complication of diseases but from this sickness, be was thought to be steadily recovering until just recently when the relapse came that resulted in his death.
Tbe funeral of Mr. Turner will occur tomorrow and his obituary will appear in Tuesday's Herald. The cards announcing the funeral are as follows:  "J. W. Turner was born February 16,1834 near Bruin, Penn., and died at his home in Coin, Iowa, July 25,1906.  Funeral services will be held from the Methodist church, Saturday, July 28th, at 10 o'clock a. m.  The casket will be opened to friends in the vestibule of the church from 9 to 10-o'clock. Interment Elmwood cemetery."
It is with sincere sorrow that the news of this death is received by the residents of Page county, for in his life here Mr. Turner compelled the respect and won the friendship of all who knew him.
Scarcely more than five months ago the Turner home was the scene of the happy celebration of the fiftieth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Turner. This was on February 20th last, and it will be remembered that at that time the event called forth quite general notice in this part of the state, the photographs and sketch of Mr and Mrs. Turner appearing in the   Coin Gazette, Council Bluffs Nonpareil and other papers in this section.   That Mr.Turner's life had been such that he was held in high esteem by all who knew him was evidenced by tbe general expressions of respect at the time of the celebration already referred to. The Coin Gazette in speaking of Mr. and Mrs. Turner and their life in this county said: "Mr. and Mrs. Turner have always been recognized as people of strong influence and strong integrity in the community.
"Before their marriage Mrs. Turner was already a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and a short time after Mr' Turner united with the same, church, with which they have been actively identified ever since and of which they have been an influential factor.
Mr. Turner has on several occasions been the representative of his church at the meeting of the lay electoral conference.  He has also several times been elected to county office in his home county. Mr. and Mrs. Turner have been most of the development of southwestern Iowa from the open prairie to the garden spot of the State, and they enjoy in a modest, and fitting manner, the fruitage of the lives of arduous toil and earnest Christian endeavor."   CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 27, 1906      

James W. Turner was born near Bruin, Pennsylvania, February 16, 1834, and grew to manhood on his father's farm among the rugged hills of Western Pennsylvania, where the income from the oil and gas combined with the products of the cultivated soil kept the family in comfort and refinement. The young man choose farming as his own occupation. It was to a farm in this same region of Pennsylvania that he took his bride, Martha Turk, to whom he was married in Butler county, Penn., on February 20,1856. For two years their home was near the homes of their parents but in 1858 the little family chose the hardships of pioneer life in order to possess a tract of Iowa farm land. At that time Fairfield was the western terminus of the railway and the remainder of the journey was made by team and wagon. Mr. Turner entered 160 acres of land four miles northeast of Coin and the title to the land has never been transferred since it was conveyed to him from the national domain. To this original tract forty acres have been added, making tbe Turner farm one of the finest in the county. Mr. Turner was very successful in business but did not hoard his wealth, preferring rather to give his family every comfort and convenience. He gave his children the advantage of school and college training. Moreover be was charitable toward his less fortunate fellows, was public spirited and always active and liberal in advancing the interests of his community and church.
In the church he has been a great power for good, having been active in the work of the church from tbe earliest days of his residence here. His home in the early days was the home of the itinerant pastor, and the weary circuit rider was always welcome to draw rein aud threw off his saddle bags at his door. Very often the services of the church were held in the Turner home where all the neighborhood was made welcome to meet for worship. For forty-two years Mr. Turner was an official member of the Methodist church. His religion was one that men never questioned or sneered at. In the church and out of it he lived a true Christian, serving God and his fellowman and loving his neighbor as himself. His neighbors tell of how in the early days he might be seen carrying food or other aid to sick or unfortunate neighbors. He was a man greatly beloved by those who came into daily association with him.
In public life Mr. Turner served the people of his community faithfully and well. He was for three terms a member of the board of supervisors of the county and served as mayor both of Coin and College Springs, having lived in the latter town three years, from 1889 to 1892. The family went to College Springs in order to give the sons advantage of the school there and during the short time that Mr. Turner was a resident and chief executive of the city he instituted many public improvements beneficial to the community. From that place he moved to Coin in order to be near the farm and that has since been, the family home.
Last February the golden wedding of Mr and Mrs. Turner was celebrated so that all of the children had been at the family home within the last few months. Six sons and one daughter survive him to comfort and sustain Mrs. Turner in her deep sorrow. As a husband and father Mr. Tamer was invariably kind and thoughtful, and lived in unselfish devotion to his loved ones. His neighbors knew him always as a helpful friend, and to all he was straightforward, courteous and just. In business he was the soul of honor, and in matters of public trust his integrity and singleness of purpose was never questioned. He was surely one of Nature's noblemen.
The funeral was widely attended and Rev. Mott Mitchell, pastor of the Methodist church at Coin, delivered a very strong address. Very beautiful floral offerings were sent by the church organizations to which Mr. Turner had so long been a friend. In accordance with Mr. Turner's wish, the casket was borne by his six sons, Grant P. Turner, of Orchard, Nebr., James E. Turner, of Palisade, Nebr., William A. Turner, of Sioux City, Ia, George W., Judson L. and Clyde W., of Coin.

The only daughter, Mrs. E. E. Lymer, of Mt. Pleasant, la,, was also present. Two children had passed on before the father, Sultana, who died many years ago, and John C., who died in 1903. The body was laid to rest in the Elm wood cemetery at Coin. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 31, 1906

Mother of W. A. Turner- Died at her Home in Coin
Mrs. J. W. Turner, mother of attorney W. A. Turner, of Clarinda passed away on Tuesday, March 16, at her home in Coin, where the funeral services were held the Thursday afternoon following. Her pastor, Rev. R. E. Harvey of the Methodist church, conducted the services.
Mrs. Turner leaves surviving her, a daughter Mrs, E.E. Lymer, of Sioux City, and five sons Grant P. of Orchard, Nebr., George W. of St Charles, S. D.; J.E. of Palisade, Nebr.; Wm. A. of Clarinda; and J. L. of Denver, also, eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren. A daughter, Sultana, died in I884; son John O. in 1902 and a son Clyde W. in 1915. All the surviving children were present and the five sons and Dr. E. E. Lymer, a son-in-aw, acted as pall bearers and tenderly laid the form of this splendid Christian pioneer woman and mother away in the family burial lot in Elmwood cemetery beside her departed husband.
Martha M.Turk was born February 18,1834, in Butler County, Pa., being the daughter of Andrew and
Sarah Campbell Turk and being one of a family of eleven children, all of whom are deceased. She was married to James W. Turner in the home county of Butler, on February 20, 1856, and in April 1858, they came to Page County, Iowa, and established their home soon after, four miles northeast of what is now the town of Coin. Here their family of nine children were reared and here Mr and Mrs Turner endured the hardships and privations of the early frontier days. The original homestead has been occupied by some member of the family ever since, and still belongs to the Turner estate, Mrs Turner having died in July 1906.

On the trip west from Pennsylvania the young couple did not enjoy the many advantages of modern travel but found it necessary to cross some of the streams by ferry and the railroad only extended to the little town of Rome in eastern Iowa. A frighter hauled their household goods to Fairfield where they bought an ox team and wagon and outfitted for the trip on west to Page County, passing through Hawleyville, and staying over night at the log hotel in Clarinda, which place was only a mere village at that time. This way of travel thro a new prairie country was indeed a new experience to them.

Then followed many years of work in helping to subdue the wilds of the west and this frontier land until it became a civilized and populous country and a splendid land in which to live and rear and educate children.

The Turner home was always open to pioneer preachers traveling with saddle bags and in those early days preaching services were frequently held in the home. Mrs Turner became a member of the Methodist church while a young girl in her Pennsylvania home, some seventy years ago, and continued to be a faithful member of this church up to the time of her death, which occurred at her late residence in Coin, at nine o'clock Tuesday morning, March 16, 1920.

Although frail and suffering much from sheer weakness of the body and the weight of many years she retained her mental faculties to the last and enjoyed visits from her children and grandchildren and her friends, all of the children having visited her during the past winter and some of them being with her during the last weeks of her life to help minister unto her.

Mrs Turner was always a devoted wife and mother. Mr Turner was a splendid man, always active in church work and civic life, having occupied responsible positions in county and town offices and together they worked to rear their family of nine children and for all that is best in life.

Tuttle, E.J., Mrs
The most peculiar case of anguish suffering and pain ever kuowu in this city is that of Mrs. E. J. Tuttle in northeast Clariuda. Last fall the family, in moderate circumstances, removed to northern Iowa, near Clear Lake, and with the coming on of winter they were forced to call on the county authorities for aid as Mrs. Tuttle was in feeble health. The couuty provided for them, and finally notified our officials that the family was a Page county charge, and must take care of them. Our board of supervisors appropriated the money for their return here and they came about the first of this year. Mrs. Tuttle had been suffering for about a year from an ovarian tumor, which was gradually enlarging and sapping her life away. Provisions were made at the county farm for the family care and her special treatment. But they refused to go. Then the township trustees took the matter in hand and provided for them. They sought to have an operation preformed on her at the advice of her physician and she was willing; but when they approached Mr. Tuttle he positively refused, asserting that she was receiving treatment from the "Christian Science'' people and would get well. She grew worse and suffered untold agony, becoming a fright to look at. Neighbors called and scores inquired daily about her condition. All efforts were made to have an operation performed but the Christian Science people had a strong grip there and it could not be done; and a young life was wasting away with no law to save her. But fortunately last week her mother arrived from Wyoming and at once instructed the trustees to have a physician save her life. They Called Dr. C. W. Fisher and Dr. H. L. Cokenower, who yesterday performed the delicate and terrible operation of removing a tumor from her, composed of liquid, pus and a hard substance weighing 25 pounds It had to be cut and torn from its fastenings to her person, but the delicate woman underwent it calmly and bravely. It is said to have virtually covered her from the breast nearly to her knees. She is reported doing well today, and it is hoped she may recover to knock the fallacy out of the humbug theory that has caused her eighteen months hell on earth.
