The Life Sketch of a Pioneer
Neoma A. Hoover, daughter of Benjamin B. [alzar] and Mary A. [nn] Hoover, was born October 9, 1853, in Lee County, Iowa. When she was an infant her parents moved to Taylor County, Iowa, where she received her education and grew to womanhood. She was united in marriage to George Thomas Turner on January 1, 1877. For 3 years they made their home in Jackson Township of that county, and in the spring of 1880 went to California. After a short stay in Santa Barbara, they settled in Lake County, California, first on the Hildebrand ranch and later on the lakeshore of Clear Lake in Burns Valley where they were well known and respected residents for a number of years. Mr. Turner passed to the Great Beyond on Feb. 11, 1916. The following fall Mrs. Turner went to Lompoc to reside with her sister, Mrs. Zelda Streeter. Needing a change of climate in 1924 she went to Modesto to make her home with her brother, Oswald. Business affairs called Mrs. Turner back to Lake County where she was taken seriously ill. On the advice of her physician she went to Lane Hospital, San Francisco, for a critical operation, after which she was taken to her brother�s home in Modesto, Calif.
She passed away Sunday morning, Feb. 22, 1925. Mrs. Turner left a host of friends in Lake County where she resided for nearly forty years.
She was a leader in social and civic activities in the county, especially at Lower Lake and vicinity. Mrs. Turner united with the Methodist church at Bedford, Ia., when a girl of 16 years.

She leaves also an aged aunt, Miss [Christine] Amelia Mix of Berkley, Calif., and several nieces, nephews and other relatives.
