• Notes

  ! DR. THOMAS TURNER DEAD Well Known Resident of Frederick Passes Away Dr. Thomas Turner, a well known retired citizen, died at his home on West Second street [Frederick, MD] at 11.54 o'clock last night of pulmonary affection, aged 75 years. Dr. Turner was a son of the late Thomas and Eleanor Pratt Turner, and was born in Georgetown, DC June 12, 1833, at the old Turner homestead on the corner of Congress street and Dumbarton avenue, the home of his grandfather, Thomas Turner, who was the first auditor of the Navy Department during Washington's administration. In December, 1840, his parents removed to this city, where his father practiced law until his death in 1840. In 1850, Dr. Turner went to Virginia, where he took a course of medicine at the University of Virginia. After graduating, he followed this profession for about twenty years. During the Civil War, he was full surgeon attached to General Stonewall Jackson's corps in the Army of Northern Virginia principally in charge of hospitals. When he was ordered to the field, he became brigade surgeon to General Archer's brigade. After the war, his health failing him, he was obliged to abandon the practice of his profession and returned, with his family, to this city. Dr. Turner was justice of the peace and coroner for a period of twenty years, serving in that capacity from 1880 to 1900. In September, 1887, he was made one of the bailiffs of the circuit court and served in that capacity until about a year ago, when he was obliged to retire because of ill health. In May, 1860, he married Miss R. Belle Janney, who survives him, with three children; Mrs. Wm. B. Tunstall, of Baltimore, Mr. Thomas N. Turner, of Washington, and Miss Orra J. Turner, at home. The funeral will take place from his late residence on Wednesday at 12 o'clock. Services will be held at the house and interment will be made in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
