Notes
- Dr George William Turner
Birth Nov. 15, 1833 Monroe County, Missouri
Death Sep. 27, 1915 Gainesville, Cooke County, Texas
A doctor in Gainsville, TX.
**Note: George's tombstone reports the birth date of Nov. 3, while his son's family Bible sugests Nov. 15; his tombstone also reports a conflicting date of death. It's appearance suggests it was placed many years after his death, possibly 50 years later based on the style, and could explain the date discrepancies.
George was the son of Richard D. Turner & Margret Turner.
He died at the age of 81 years at #7 Cloud Street, Gainsville, TX, from paralysis, which had lasted for 5 months. The informant on the death certificate was R. H. Turner. He may be the son of John H. Turner. There are conflilcting dates for George's death; his death certificate shows a death and burial date of Sept. 29, 1915. His obituary says he died on the 28th and he was buried on the 29th. [And the memorial here has a third date of death as 27 Sept]
