Soundex Code: T656Chris Turner, Spanaway Pioneer, Dies
Chris Turner, 92, Spanaway area pioneer who gave his name to Turner Road, died this morning in a local hospital before he could fulfill his wish to attend the Western Washington Fair, where he exhibited many years. Mr. Turner lived at 105 Military Road S.
Born in Walt-le-Dale, England, he came to this area in 1889 while Washington was still a territory, and engaged in farming. From 1917 until recent years he exhibited grains, grasses, flowers and vegetables at the Puyallup fair and had planned to attend the current show.
In the early days, Mr. Turner was employed in the Snyder-Stevens Sawmill at the head of the bay, when Tacoma’s population was about 20,000. Later he worked at the Tacoma Hotel and Grand Pacific Hotel, and during the depression of 1892 became a gardener for several families, among them Nelson Bennett who built the Stampede Tunnel.
The late Mrs. Turner, who died in 1945, was the former Nettie Greenlaw, member of a pioneer family.
He was a member of the Episcopal Church.
Surviving are three sons, Ben L. and Byron C., both of Tacoma, and Raymond B., of Spanaway; three daughters, Mrs. Ethel Tweeden and Mrs. Alice Prettymen, both of Tacoma, and Mrs. Mary Key of Portland; eight grandchildren, nine great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.
Services will be announced by Mountain View Funeral Home.
