While sitting on the porch of his son's house near Mt. Zion Sunday talking with his brother-in-law, A.J. Turpin was suddenly taken ill. He died at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. He complained of a pain in his side and heard. Then he fell back and it was seen he was critically ill.
A physician was sent for. He said there was evidently concussion of the brain. Mr. Turpin has had no falls or other injuries that are known to his family, and there is some mystery about his death. He was easily excited and had been in run down physical condition for a year.
Mr. Turpin was born in Mt. Zion township June 15, 1858, and lived there until about twenty-seven years ago when he went to Kansas. There he met and married Mrs. Cora Howland and returned to Decatur about seventeen years ago. He has since made it his home. Last fall he went to his son's place to spend the winter.
He is survived by his wife and three children: S.S. Turpin of Mt. Zion, Mrs. Conway Mann and Mrs. J.G. Goodrich of this city; two brothers and one sister; Abe Turpin of Long Creek, Robert Turpin and Mrs. Amanda Kinser of Mt. Zion. He also leaves three half-sisters: Mrs. Polly Windall of Long Creek, Mrs. Mary Comstock of Hiawatha, Kan., and Mrs. Julia Blair of California; and one half-brother, Scott Turpin of this city.
