John R. Turner - Obituary
, Portsmouth, Scioto, Ohio, USA
John R. Turner, one of the oldest citizens of Portsmouth, expired on Friday last, after an illness of little more than a week in duration. His remains were followed to the grave on Sunday afternoon by the largest concourse of people ever collected on a similar occasion in this city.
Mr. Turner was born in Virginia in 1787, and was consequently seventy-one years of age when he died. From 1812 to 1855, he held the office of Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas of Scioto County. Perhaps no other man in the State could exhibit so long an incumbency of that or any other station. In 1855 he was elected Mayor of Portsmouth, and served in that capacity for two years, until April 1867.
Thus, one by one, are the pioneers disappearing. A little longer, and not on of that race which came here when all was wilderness will be left to tell the story of those eventful times.
