GEO. W. TURNER, farmer and stockraiser; P. O. Poindexter Station; was
born Dec. 21, 1829, in Harrison County, Ky.; son of Thornton and Elizabeth
(Van Deren) Turner; he, a farmer, born in Virginia in 1799, and dying in
1859; she, born in Harrison County, Ky., and dying at the age of
thirty-seven years in 1841, leaving seven children.  The grandparents of
our subject came to Kentucky at an early day, and were among those brave
and hardy pioneers who helped to turn the wilderness into the garden spot
now known as the Blue Grass region.  Mr. Turner, our subject, after
receiving a moderate education, began farming and has continued that
occupation since.  In addition to farming, Mr. Turner has made a specialty
of stockraising, breeding horses, mules, cattle and hogs, and producing
some of the finest animals raised in that county.  He owns a farm of 160
acres of fine land.  In 1861 he married Julia B. Thompson, born in Harrison
County in September, 1840, daughter of Robert and Emily (Linsey) Thompson,
natives of Harrison County, Ky.  Mr. Turner and family are members of the
Baptist Church and he is a Democrat.
