MRS. TURNER DIES AFTER OPERATION, FUNERAL FRIDAY
Well Known Woman passed Away Last Night Following Operation for Removal of Cancer
"Aunt Maggie" Turner is dead. One of Lebanon's best known and beloved women died at 12:15 o'clock
this morning from the effects of a serious operation which she underwent yesterday morning in the Lebanon Hospital. She revived only long enough to recognize and speak with her aged husband, Judge W. H. Turner, and her son and daughter, who were at her bedside when death came.
Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon at the Christian church and will be conducted by the pastor,Rev. Roy Blalock. Burial will be in the Lebanon Cemetery.
Although she had been in ill health for several months, "Aunt Maggie" shopped for a short time
Monday afternoon in company with her daughter, Mrs. Charles G. Trog of Peculiar, MO., who arrived
Saturday night to visit her parents. Her condition was not thought to be serious even when
she went on the operating table, but the operation revealed a bad cancerous condition and it was feared that she could not survive the operation.
Margaret Catherine Brooks was born Aug. 22, 1866, near Knoxville, Tenn., and she was left an orphan at the age of three years. She suffered a severe attack of mumps when she was six years old and total deafness resulted. Later she studied for three terms at a school for the deaf, intending to prepare for teaching. This was the only schooling she ever had, but constant reading in later years gave her a broad education.
She came to Laclede County in 1881 to live with a sister, Mrs. John Sing, near Orla. She was
married Feb 7,1883, to Judge Turner and they would have celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in two months. Their honeymoon was spent traveling with a show, which they continued until the birth of their son, Clarence, at which time Mrs. Turner returned to Lebanon.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Turner spent their spare time in reading, and it was their boast that they had
read every book in the Shakespeare library.
Mrs. Turner is survived by her husband, son, daughter, and two grandsons.
