I wish I could do more to help in your search for the history of Turner Co., SD, but just in case you don't get any better offers... I was born in Parker, in Turner Co. in 1933. We moved to Belmond, Iowa in 1936, so obviously I have almost no memory of the area. But because my mother was born in that county (in Chancellor / Germantown) and was married there, I have done and continue to do some research there for my (Meyer) family tree. But distance (we live in SE Iowa) and time seem to keep such research down to a minimum. My father's side of the family lived near and in Lennox, in Lincoln Co., bordering Turner Co. I do know that the Lennox library has a Centennial book on Lennox. It includes history of that area. My paternal grandparents moved there in 1884. I might be able to answer, or get answers for, a few specific questions on Turner Co. Also I would be glad to see what I can find for you when I have opportunity to be in Lennox, but I have no idea when my next visit can be, possibly in late June. Sorry this is not much help.
