    James Turner
    Mr James Turner of Appleton, answered the inevitable call on Tuesday evening of this week. For 78 years James Turner had lived on the same land and was known by the same people. In 78 years of intercourse men come to understand each other very well. When after 78 years Mr Turner was called away, the people who knew him best mourned him most. Mr Turner was born on the homestead two years after his parents had migrated from Scotland to Ramsay. Last February. Mr Turner's wife and helpmeet through the many hardships of early times was called to rest. Of the family of eleven children two are dead, Alexander and Mary Agnes (Mrs Thos Arthurs), and there are living, Mrs Henderson, Beckwith; Mrs Sadler, Carleton Place; Mrs Hill, North Augusta; John and Arthur on the homestead; Rev Wm D., Presbyterian pastor at Norval, and Rev Henry H., in the Presbyterian charge of Kirkfield. All the family were at home during the last moments. The late Mr Turner was a man of sound judgement and strong character. He was well known and highly respected. He never sought public distinction to and great extent, but was a school trustee for many years, retiring about ten years ago. He was a life-long consistent member of the Presbyterian church and was an elder in Appleton church ever since the separation of the charge from Almonte. He was a man of 78 years of useful life behind him and his sure reward before. His memory will not quickly die. The funeral on Thursday afternoon will be largely attended by friends and neighbours for many miles around.
