Died:
James' parents were James Turner and Janet Duncan, Scottish immigrants to Canada. James and Janet Barber were married in Lanark County, Ontario where children James E. and John D. were born. The family later moved to Winnipeg, Manintoba before relocating to Grand Forks, North Dakota. For many years James plied his trade in the sash and door business in Grand Forks, eventually owning a business outright with his sons. James was a North Dakota state senator from 1906-1910.

From "North Dakota" magazine (ND Dept of Agriculture & Labor), Volume 1, Issue 6, February 1907:

SENATOR TURNER
Fifty-nine years ago, on September 9, 1847, a son was born to a young Scotch couple who were on their way from Scotland to seek their fortunes in the strange land of America. That son was James Turner, now senator from the sixth district of North Dakota. The boy inherited much of the old Scotch honesty and integrity and a steadfastness of purpose that has helped him over many a rough place in life.
The young couple located on a farm in Lanark county, Ontario, and there the boy lived until he was fourteen years of age. His father died when he was but seven years old and he was early thrown on his own resources. He acquired a common school education in the schools of Ontario and learned the carpenter's trade. He worked at his trade in Ontario until 1881 when he moved to Winnipeg. After a year and a half in that city he moved to Grand Forks, Dakota territory, where he has made his home ever since.
On coming to Grand Forks he engaged in contracting and building. In 1885 he began the manufacture of sash and doors at Grand Forks, with a Mr. Chisholm, under the firm name of Chisholm & Turner. This partnership was dissolved in 1891 and from then until 1895 he was engaged as superintendent of construction on numerous buildings. In 1895 he again went into the manufacture of sash and doors under the firm name of Turner & Callender. This business has grown to large proportions, and in 1906 he bought out Mr. Callender and took into partnership his two sons, J. D. and J. E. Turner. The firm is now named James Turner & Sons, but the business will be incorporated this month.
Mr. Turner was married July 5, 1872, to Miss Jenet Barber, Almonte, Ontario, and the two sons who are now in partnership with him are his only children. In politics Mr. Turner is a democrat, and like the good old Scotchman he has stood by his party in spite of its many adversities. He never held any political office until he was elected senator from the sixth district in the fall of 1906, defeating Hugh Ryan, a former member of the lower house in a district that has usually given the republican candidates large majorities.

James married Janet Barber on 5 Jul 1872 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Janet (daughter of Eustache "Hugh" Barber and Isabelle Headrick) was born on 6 Jan 1846 in McNab Township, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada; died on 5 Mar 1928 in Grand Forks, Grand Forks County, North Dakota, United States; was buried in Memorial Park Cemetery, Grand Forks, Grand Forks County, North Dakota, United States.
