THOMAS WALKER TURNBULL - On the afternoon of Monday, Feb. 16, there passed from our midst one of our oldest and most respected cit-izens The following Wednesday funeral services were conducted at St. James Episcopal church, Rev. Fr. Dew-Brittain officiating, and the interment in the city cemetery was in charge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Those present from away were Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Kenney and children Thomas and George, and Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Le-ritz, all of Kansas City, Mo. Thomas Walker Turnbull was born at Knarsboro, Yorkshire, Eng-land, June 24, 1825. At the age of fourteen he left home and the be-loved mother whom he was never to see again, and going to London spent the following seven years in accordance with the custom of that time, as an apprentice learning the painter's trade. In 1854 he came to St. Louis, and later to Griggsville to visit relatives, intending to return to England, but his skill as a painter gained for him the patronage of the people to such an extent, that he decided to remain, and this place has been his home with the exception of a short time spent with his brother George in Oregon. He was twice married, the only child of the first union, a son, being drowned at the age of ten. Some of our people well remember the trag-edy which brought life-long sorrow to the father's heart. He is survived by his two daugh-ters, Mrs. Clarence Kenney of Kan-sas City, Mo., and Mrs. William Stone of Griggsville, an only sister, Mrs. Mary L. Taylor also of this City, one brother, Mr. George Turn-bull of Weston, Mo., and three grandchildren, Mrs. Mabelle Leritz, Thomas Turnbull and George Clar-ence Kenney. Mr. Turnbull was a stanch Epis-copalian and for years a faithful attendant upon the services of that church. He was, in point of Odd Fellowship, the oldest member of the order in Illinois having become connected with it in London in 1846. In temperament he was optimistic and cheerful. All days to him, no matter how dreary the weather, were "fine" days. He was a man of strong convictions, and was stead-fast in his opinions, honorable in his business dealings, and the fact that at different times he has been guar-dian for fifteen children, is a testi-mony to his honesty. Nine years ago a stroke of paraly-sis seriously impaired Mr. Turnbull's mental faculties, and, while living beneath the roof that has sheltered him for nearly half a century, and tenderly cared for by his daughters, he was never at home until God took him.

"The Homeland, O the Homeland, The land of the free-born No gloomy night is known there But aye the fadeless morn."
