On Tuesday, August 10, 1897, at 3:18 a.m., in Lebanon, Captain Samuel Turner, died, after a lingering illness, of sciatic rheumatism, at the age of 69 years, 7 months and 11 days.

The deceased was one of Laclede County's oldest citizens, having lived here since 1859. He was born in Roane County, Tennessee, but removed to Cape Girardeau County, Missouri, when he was 16 years of age. At the age of 21 he married Miss Mahala J.

He served in the Union Army from 1861 to 1865, and was engaged in the battle of Pea Ridge and many other skirmishes, being promoted to second lieutenant and then to captain.
In 1887 his wife died and in 1889 he was married to Elizabeth Dennis, who survives him.
The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon, the 11th, and the remains were interred in the Turner family cemetery. All of the children, three sons and two daughters from Coffeyville and one daughter from Ossawatomic [Osawatomie], Kansas and two sons, here, W. F. and S. S. Turner, were present.
In the death of Captain Turner Laclede County lost a good citizen. He lived an upright life and leaves behind him an unblemished record. He did the world some good in life and the memory of his deeds will live after him.
