This is from the book "History of Waukesha County".... WILLIAM S. TURNER, Secs. 25 and 26; P. O. Waukesha; born in Orange Co., N. Y., Sept. 30, 1845, son of William and Margaret (Porter) Turner. The parents and seven children settled on 80 acres of the homestead, in 1848; it was bought of one Manderville, and was timbered; about 20 acres were cleared on which were no buildings of value; William Turner did good work here, clearing and adding to the farm and erecting a house and barn; he was born in Belfast, Ireland, and died May 16, 1862, one of the honored old residents of his town; was a prominent member of the R. P. Church of Vernon, and one of its original Trustees. His son has proven himself worthy of his heritage, having added 25 acres, which gives him an improved farm of 140 acres; he has also built a 30x40 foot barn on the modern plan, and erected other needful buildings. Married Miss Margaret Loughbridge, a native and resident of New Berlin, by whom he has a son, Ira Wallace Turner, born Aug. 31, 1 876, and a daughter, S! arah May Turner, born May 20, 1880. Mr. and Mrs. T. are members of the R. P. Church. A brother, Samuel R. Turner, now a resident of Minnesota, enlisted in Co. G, 28th W. V. I. serving with the Western army for three years. Good luck with your search. Holly
