STANLEY W. TURNER
...was born in North Fairfield, Ohio, July 15, 1843. In 1852 he removed to Reading, Mich.,
and...was a student at Hillsdale college. During the war he enlisted as a private in the first Michigan sharpshooters. At the close of the war he was promoted to captain, but was never mustered in. In 1865 he went to Mason, Mich., and entered the law office of H. P. Henderson.
Now in business at Roscommon, Michigan.
Mrs. Josephine Turner Henderson died in Los Angeles on April 21, 1929, while visiting her niece, Mrs. William F. Reynolds. It was expected that her body would be sent to Mason, Michigan, for burial.
Note: I'm not related to these people, but noticed the Michigan connection while browsing the Deseret newspaper.
