DEATH OF TURMAN COMES AS SHOCK
Well Known Real Estate Man Dies Sunday Afternoon at the Georgia Baptist Hospital
Samuel Boykin Turman, prominent Atlanta real estate dealer and widely known citizen, died Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Georgia Baptist hospital. He had been in ill-health for some time, but his friends were not apprehensive over his condition until a few days ago, when he began to grow worse. Still his illness was not considered alarming, and his death came as an unexpected shock to his family and friends.
Mr. Turman removed to Atlanta thirty-six years ago and engaged in the real estate business. His judgment, ability and industrious application soon won for him leadership in this field. At the time of his death he was senior member of the firm of S. B. Turman & Co., with offices in the Atlanta Trust Company building.
Born in Columbus
He was born in Columbus, Ga., April 1, 1866. He was a member of a noted Georgia family and was the grandson of Dr. Samuel Boykin, famous as a scientist. In 1897 he married Miss Helen Reed, of Atlanta, Daughter of Colonel John M. C. Reed, a pioneer citizen.
Mr. Turman was a member of the city's leading social organizations and was one of the deacons of the Second Baptist church. He was a member of the Capital City club, Piedmont Driving club and the Atlanta Athletic club. He was well known in public affairs of Fulton county and the city, having been chairman for eight years of the Fulton county commission, and a recent member of the city board of education. During his term as chairman of the county board, the magnificent $1,000,000 courthouse was completed and the Southeastern Fair grounds at Lakewood were developed.
Noted for Hospitality
Mr. Turman resided at Hexagon hall, near the junction of the McDonough and Jonesboro roads, and his home was noted for its hospitality.
