JOHN B. TURNER

John B. Turner Dies Suddenly
The lifeless body of John B. Turner, 74, was found Monday morning about 8:30 by an employee of the Lampkin Brothers Elevator just east of the elevator. Sheriff Shirley Collins and the St. Clair County Coroner, Paul Firestone, were notified and the coroner pronounced the death due to natural causes.
Members of Mr. Turner's family, the sheriff, city marshal Glen Davis and many volunteers had searched long hours for Mr. Turner after his son reported him missing that morning. He had been seen last by friends late Saturday evening, and his family feared for his safety.
The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at the First Baptist Church and burial was at the Oak Hill Cemetery at Butler.
