Turner. Otis, Esq., Cashier of the Hamilton Bank, Boston, at half past one o'clock A. M., at his residence, 66 Charles street, July 21st [1855], ae. 59, of a disease on the brain, with which he had been confined to his house since the 3d inst. Mr. Turner was connected with the Hamilton Bank until the time of his death, as Teller and Cashier from its incorporation, for the past twenty-seven years. Correct, prompt and energetic in the performance of its arduous duties, and that he was fathful to his trusts no one can gainsay. Calumny alone would breathe a blight over his memory. Handsome in features, erect in personal appearance, above the medium height, reserved in deportment, exem plary in character, precise in all business affairs, possessed of no ordinary intelligence, endowed with much general information, quite a genius for mechanics, which he employed in his leisure moments for his amusement; and by strict economy leaves his family with an ample competence. Beloved by his children, and by a wide circle of friends, their regrets for his death are only exceeded by what they know to be their loss. Mr. Turner was a lineal descendant, in the 7th Generation, from Humphry, of Plymouth (1630), and Scituate (1633), whose son John ("young son,") of Scituate, had Japhet, of Duxbury and Pembroke, had Joshua, of Pembroke, had John (Judge,) of Pembroke, had John, Jr., of Pembroke, had Otis, of Pembroke and Boston, who had Otis, Jr., (only son, born Oct. 1796), of Boston.
