OBITUARY ---------------

MRS. MARCELLA G. TURNER

Redwood City Democrat

February 7, 1895

On Sunday last all that was mortal of Mrs. M.G. Turner was laid to rest in Union Cemetery. The funeral took place from her late residence on A Street, Rev. A.L. Brewer of San Mateo, conducting the services at the house and Rev. Morgan, of San Mateo, officiating at the grave.

Owing to the fact that it was the expressed wish of the relatives that the funeral should be a private one, the attendance was confined to immediate friends and neighbors. Deceased was a native of New York and had reached the advanced age of 75 years. She was an old and highly respected citizen of Redwood City having settled here over thirty years ago with her husband J.W. Turner who will be remembered as the pioneer undertaker of the town and who died in 1882. The following acted as pallbearers at the funeral Judge Buck, B.F. Cooper, L. Werder, L.M. Howard, A. Jumel and C. Littlejohn.
