Transcription of obituary published in the Primitive Methodist Magazine by G.G. Martindale

Mrs. Turner, of Wickersley, Rotherham First Circuit, passed home to God full of days and honours on Tuesday, March 11th, 1913. She was in the eighty-ninth year of her age and in the sixty-ninth of her membership with us. In her girlhood Mrs. Turner devoted her life to Christ her Lord. 

Deprived of early educational advantages themselves, she and her late husband utilised to the full the means at their disposal for the mental and religious equipment of their family, of whom one son (Rev. G.W. Turner) and two daughters at least are members of our Church. For fully forty years she generously entertained the superintendent minister, and the memories of the kindly welcome are very pleasant. 

On Friday, March 14th, a funeral service was held in the church, followed by the interment service in the Parish Church, in which the writer took part.
