Betha Flowers Turner - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From Tallulah Madison Journal October 23, 1924

IN MEMORY OF MRS. TURNER

In the death of Mrs. Turner which occurred at Tallulah Wednesday, Oct. 23rd, a great soul passed 
away from our sight.

At 2:30 that night, when the stars were shining their brightest, and all nature seemed mapped in 
peace and solitude, we bowed in reverence while angels bore her away. How we loved her. Great was 
her life and love and triumphant was her death.

For some years Mrs. Turner lived with her husband in their home in Eudora, Ark., until coming to 
Tallulah in June. To know her was to love her and the short time she lived in Tallulah many friends 
were added to her list.

Beautiful of mind and strong of character, she became the sunshine for many lives. It was sweet to 
know her and the perfume of her memory will remain with us, as the years go by.

The services were conducted by Rev. Kimberlin, of the Baptist church and and were concluded at the 
grave. Her many friends gathered and brought many lovely flowers in testimony of their sympathy.
Sweet and encouraging songs were sung at the conclusion of which the flowers were banked upon the 
spot that marked her last resting place.

Mr. Turner is well known here, having been in the employ of the Missouri Pacific Railroad and his 
business has called him in and out of Tallulah for many years.

Friends from Eudora attended the funeral Thursday and returned that afternoon. Among them were Mrs. Day, 
Miss Mina Day, and Mrs. Carlton.

The Tallulah friends join them their sympathy for the sorrowing husband, who has sustained such a 
loss in the death of his loving and devoted wife.

May God's richest blessing and the consolation that comes to those that suffer at such times be upon 
him and sustain him.

- One Who Loved Her.
