Amos Turley aged 52 years died on Saturday morning at his home near Camargo. Mr. Turley was a well known and popular farmer, a pleasant genial gentleman who numbered many friends among his many acquaintances He was a brave soldier in the Civil War having honorably served his country in the 24th, Kentucky, Federal, Infantry through the whole of that conflict. He was as well a good true man who performed whatever duty fell to his hand in a quiet unostentatious manly manner. For several years past he has been a great sufferer from heart trouble and although he know death was liable to come to him at any moment, day or night, and that he need in no wise be surprised at the unwelcome message, he, in face of this, went about in the same quiet cheerful way that characterised his life. Three children survive him: Mrs. Dora Wyatt and James and Jesse. These with a devoted wife who was Miss Mary Trimble mourn him. The funeral service was held Sunday at the residence by Rev. J. B. Greenwade and the burial took place in Machpelah Cemetary; comrades of many battles tenderly laying to rest the body of their erstwhile companion in arms. The Mt. Sterling Advocate, Tuesday, May 26, 1896, p. 4
