Robert Benjamin Turner (1922-1951), 28, formerly of East Palatka, was instantly killed early today in Ormond Beach when his car left the road at an "S" curve and plunged through a concrete wall on route A1A.

The deceased was born on Nov. 12, 1922, and was recently employed by Commercial Credit Corporation in Daytona Beach. He served in the Armed Forces during World War II as a T/Sgt. in the Medical Corps. He attended school in Gainesville, the University of the South, Suwanee and the University of Denver, Colo., and was a candidate for Holy Orders of the Episcopal Church.
