    3. Just for your info. Daniel Porter Turner's obituary in 1944, he the husband of Emma (Emily) Gorin. Mr. D.P. Turner, retired farmer, was killed here Sat. afternoon when he was run over by a freight car at the L&N railroad crossing near the depot. Mr. Turner who lived in the New Addition was on his way to town and was struck by a freight car as he was crossing the tracks. The wheels severed his right arm and leg, and he lived only a few minutes after the accident. He was born 12 Nov 1859, and died 5 Aug 1944. Daniel Porter Turner was the second child of Benjamin Milton Turner and his wife, Mary Jane Hawks Turner. Dec 4, 1884 he was happily married to Miss Emma Esther Gorin, dau of the late Capt W.F. Gorin. He is survived by his widow and 5 children, namely: Mrs. C.E. Marshall, Minneola, Kansas, Mrs. P.L. Hicks, Louisville, Ky., and Harry, Milton and Woodson Turner, Greensburg, Ky. In a great revival at Salem C. P. Church, in the fall of 1882, he professed his faith in Christ. Thereafter, he joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and has lived a faithful member of that church, having served for many years as a member of the official board of Greensburg Cumberland Presbyterian church. To know Porter Turner was to like him. His name might be called synonym for honesty, integrity, truth, uprightness in life. He was a man of wide acquaintance; and that the people like him is shown by the hundreds of callers who in respect to him and his family, went to his home after his death, and also by the many beautiful flowers that were sent to his home to surround the casket in which he lay. His family will always appreciate the many kindnesses shown to them by his numerous friends. May memories of him be influences for good in the lives, not only of members of his family, but in the lives of his friends. Brief funeral services were held at his home Tues. afternoon, 8 Aug 1944, and he was laid to rest in Greensburg.... Obituaries of Green Co.
