ALBERT WRIGHT TURNER Great Grandpa Albert came to the United

States in 1853 aboard the SS Indian with his mother and some of the children. They landed in New Orleans and went north to join his father who had evidently, with the other children, came about two years earlier, settling in Mills County.

Albert Turner Famlly Albert Wrlaht Turner, seated; Georae Walter Turner, standing, far right.

His mother, Elizabeth Neal Turner, died in 1853/54. His father, George Freelove Turner, then married a German woman, Sophia. They had two sons, George and Charles. He died prior to February 1857, the date of sale of his property by Sophia to Peter Sarpy, husband of Albert's older sister Ann.

Albert was born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England August 21, 1843. He lived in Mill'> County from 1853 to 1862. He left St. Mary's Township and bitched up with a Mormon oxen team commanded by Captain Canfield and went to Salt Lake City in 1862.

The 1870 census shows him in Mills County again. He married Serena Gowens, daughter of James Gowens and Luvisa Jackson Gowens, December 31, 1871. Nine of their eleven children lived. Oliver Freelove, Lewis Collier, James Albert (child), George Walter (mine), Clarenct Calvin (infant), Fredrick Fletcher, Alfred Cleveland, William Clyde, Augusta Adelia and Stella Luella (twins) and Anne Elizabeth. My grand fa. ther, the fourth chi.ld, was born in Glenwood, December 13, 1877.

Many wonderful stories have been passed down from children to grandchildren. My favorite is about how his children, when he was up in a$e. could throw a coin into the air and be woulc.t hit it with one shot. I would say that is pretty good.

My cousin, Frances Gorman Osler of Councii Bluffs, says she can just see the redheaded imp driving a stagecoach across the plains, hair flyinM in the wind, with a violin over his back, a bottle of whiskey beside him and a song in his heart.

Possess1veness and quick temper was evident when, at his son's dance hall in Nebraska, he knocked a man down a flight of stairs for asking his wife to dance. I wonder what else the man said.

The Gowens girls were very pretty as the TUi'· ner boys noticed and three of them married three of the girls. Daniel married Susan, Freelove married Elizabeth and Albert married Serena. Smart move by the boys.

Being proud of my heritage (which incudes farmers, merchants, carpenters and clerks) I am including seven generations of my di.rect lineage. Edward Turner b? married Isabella Freelove, George Freelove Turner born 1801, married Elizabeth Neal, Albert Wright Turner bom 1843, married Serena Gowens, George Walter Turner born 1877, married Hester May Bevington, Earl Albert Turner born 1905, married Ora Avis Mathews, Walter Earl Turner (me) born 1932, married Margaret Katherine Harlan and Walter Eugene Turner (my son), born 1965.

Albert Wright Turner IS loved by all of his descendants and remembered with great respect. Submitted by Walter Earl Turner
