Notes for Stephen A. Turner
Stephen was reported to have come to IL with his parents when he was 7 years old, but the family must have returned to KY.
Stephen and his sisters and brother were orphaned by 1832. They were looked out for by a Baptist Minister John S. Higgins (in 1850 his aunt Polly Turner lived with the family of John S. Higgins in District 2, Lincoln Co., KY, page 304).
In 1850 Stephen was a plasterer living in Moultrie County, IL with his wife Barbary and children Susanna E., Agness, Mary A., and Wm. F. In 1860 he was a plasterer living in Lovington, Moultrie County (page 76) with Barbary and children Agnes J., Mary A., Wm. F., Margaret A., Eliza C., John S., Nancy J., and George H.; also in the household was Adam Berry, born 1809/10 in NC. In 1870 he was a farmer in Lovington with wife Barbara and children Eliza C., John S., Nancy J., George H., Christeana, Charity E., and Charles A.; the value of his land was $12,000 and personal property at $2,000. In 1880 he was a plasterer and tradesman in Lovington with his wife and children Nancy, George, Charity, Charles, and Commodore Perry. Stephen was listed in the 1889 land road tax in Lovington.
Stephen was a resident of the Lovington vicinity for more than half a century. He bought up cheap swamp land and drained it to make farm land of it. There they shot brandts and ducks. He had narrow shovels to dig narrow trenches in the muddy swampland; then he laid four-inch tile to drain the water off. One of Stephen`s buildings housed the Post Office. Overhead was a big room they held dances in, a familiar saying was "It was just a ball in Turner`s hall, that was all."
Stephen moved to MO in 1899. He "owned over 400 acres of land in the Lanton neighborhood and business property in Lovington and Hammond in addition to a fine farm in Missouri. His large estate was accumulated by his own industry and frugality. In his younger days he followed farming and stock raising, and when work in these lines were slack he devoted his time to the trade of plasterer, at which he was an expert."

Notes for Eliza Ellen Burnett
Obituary - January 19, 1900 in the Lovington Reporter.
"Elisa E. Burnett was born in Cataract, Owen county, Indiana, April 3, 1859. Died at her home near Lanton Station, Moultrie Co., Ill., Jan. 15, 1900 of typhoid fever. She was married to Geo. H. Turner, Nov. 11, 1880. Six children have been born to them, three boys and three girls, all of whom with the sorrowing husband, survive to mourn the loss of a tender, loving mother and faithful wife.
Mrs. Turner became a Christian in her girlhood, giving her heart, and the allegiance of her life to Jesus Christ unreservedly.
Neighbors and friends who knew her intimately speak in the highest terms of her beautiful and consistent Christian character, which found it's expression and demonstration, not in mere profession, but in a daily life of unselfish devotion to her home, her friends and her Heavenly Master. A marked tribute of the esteem in which she was held, was witnessed by the immense throng who attended the funeral services and followed her body to
the grave.
Her death was a very happy one, songs of salvation and praise were upon her lips during her illness, for like Enoch of old, she had the testimony before her departure that she pleased God.
Funeral services were conducted at the family residence, by Rev. W. F. Stevenson, at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Burial at the Turner cemetery."
