Surnames: Turner, Thornton, Sprague, Towers, Phillips, Sharp, Carter Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wEC.2ACE/1201 Message Board Post: John Turner, attorney at law, Mauston, son of John Turner, was born in the county of Kent, England, Nov. 3, 1828. Having attained a suitable age he became a law student in the office of Sir Richard Thornton, of London. When near twenty years of age he attached himself to the Society of Chartists at Blackfriars, London, and was elected secretary of its council. He was subsequently connected with what was known as the Potters' Emigration Society. As the operations of this society led them to establish a station in Wisconsin, it is deemed appropriate to give some explanation of the object of the organization. This was to effect the deportation of skilled laborers from Europe, and to provide for their settlement in the New World, with a view of forcing, by the law of supply and demand, better terms for those at home, when employed. Acting in the interest of this society, Mr. Turner visited Paris. Happening to hit the time of the emeute and the abdication of Louis Philipi, though! only a spectator of the turbulent scenes of the day, he received a saber cut across the face at the hands of a careless trooper. Returning to England by the same ship that carried the royal fugitive, Louis Philipi, he found the political situation such that his blackened and disfigured face was very much to his advantage in concealing his identity. Being assured that the choice lay between transportation, and emigration, he chose the latter and made his way to the United States, commissioned to act as book-keeper and store-keeper for the society. On reaching Fort Winnebago, May 4, 1848, he selected a site, eight miles below the fort, and on the opposite bank of the Fox River. Here a store-house was built on the unsurveyed Indian lands, and the town of Port Hope was founded. On completion of the store Mr. Turner proceeded to Galena, Ill., where a large stock of goods was purchased, and shipped on the steamers "Tiger" and "Enterprise" and landed at Fort Winnebago, and then ca! rried overland to Port Hope. The plan was to give each immigrant forty acres of land a team and tools, and credit of $200 at the store without security. About 2,000 skilled laborers were so deported, quite a portion reaching the station at Port Hope and becoming settlers of the county. Like many another plan that has been adopted by earnest enthusiasts in the cause of over worked and poorly paid labor, it proved a beautiful thing in theory, but a failure in practice. The gigantic efforts of the few intelligent earnest workers were not equal to carry the many selfish, shiftless, or indifferent members, so after dispursing many thousands of dollars, the cause was abandoned. Mr. Turner spent two years at Port Hope, and then moved to Fort Winnebago. In 1854, he came to Mauston and opened a law office. June 10, 1857, he began the publication of the Mauston Star, a weekly Republican paper, which he published for twenty-one years and then, in 1878, sold it to the present proprietor! , Mr. Sprague. In the Fall of 1857, he was admitted to practice in the Circuit Court. He was elected Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of the town of Lemonweir for several years. Served one term as a member of the Wisconsin Legislature (1859), and on the organization of the village of Mauston he was elected the first President, and re-elected eight or ten times. Jan. 2, 1863, he was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of Wisconsin. Aug. 31, 1870, he organized the first military company of this section, and elected its captain. The company has retained its organization to this time. The old captain now being its quartermaster. He was elected District Attorney for Juneau County for the years 1873-74-75. On the division of the State into two districts he was appointed United States Court Commissioner for the District and Circuit courts. Mr. Turner was married in Portage City, June 14, 1853, to Miss Ann Towers, of Sterling, Scotland, daughter of Walter and Janet Towers.! Mrs. Turner was born in Sterlingshire, Scotland. Seven children were born to them - Rose (now the wife of Dr. E. C. Rogers of La Crosse), Louis K. (married to Mabel Phillips, of Mauston), Lilly (now Mrs. Ken C. Sharp, also of Mauston), Alice (now Mrs. Nelson Carter, of Lisbon), Walter D. McI. (deceased), John, Edna and Richard. Source: History of Northern Wisconsin.
