Phillip Henry Turner (b. 1850)
Notes for Phillip Henry Turner:
Nevada was the daughter of Philip and Lydia (Black) Turner. They had Sarah, Nevada and Willie Turner. Willie was actually the fourth child so they lost one in between. Lydia died in Henry Co. and is buried at White Oak Cemetery near Mt. Pleasant, Henry County, Iowa. Nell Scarff told me that when she was little, she remembers her father showing three people (two men and a woman) where Lydia was buried. They bought a stone for her. The really sad thing is the fact that after Lydia's death, Philip remarried to a woman named Rachel and went to Idaho, leaving his three children with other families. No wonder Nevada did the same thing with her own children. Willie Turner's daughter, Gladys wrote to me that she didn't have much respect for anyone who abandoned their children. I guess that must be how Willie and his sisters felt about their dad.
