Curtis: C; “Tarner, 85'S.) of Omaha, Nebraska, met his death in the Chilcoot Pass, Alaska, on April 3. He had been stopping at the Woodlawn hotel at Sheep Camp, and on the morning of his death had started up the trail while a heavy storm was prevailing. He was caught in a snow slide about an hour after leaving the camp, and his body was not recovered until the third day The remains were brought back to his home for burial. Curtis C. Turner was born in Omaha, August 31, 1863. He prepared for Col- lege at the Omaha High School, and entered the Sheffield Scientific School with the Class of Eighty-Five. A year after graduation he took a postgraduate - course of one year in the University, leaving to engage in civil engineering at Omaha. He continued in the prac- tice of his profession until the Summer of 1897, taking an active interest in all public questions of scientific importance, and in the movement for good roads. The interesting field for engineering work in the Klondike region attracted his attention last Summer, and he con- ceived a rich promise of profit in the question of improved transportation facilities. A trip to Alaska in Novem- ber for investigation decided him, and in December he _ started again for Skagway. He chose the Chilkoot Pass as a field for operations, and his plans for a transportation line from there to Dawson were well under way at the time of the disaster. 2 Mr. Turner was a member and Vice- President of the Sons of Omaha, a member and Secretary of the Omaha Club, a member and at one time Presi- dent of the High School Alumni As- sociation. A friend thus writes of him: “Curtis C. Turner was a man of fine physical appearance and marked force and ability. His mind was active and interested in a wide range of subjects, and his views were broadened by educa- tion, by constant reading, by acquaint- ance and conversation with many classes of people, and by extensive travel in this country and abroad. His judgment was keen, critical and conservative, and he possessed the ability to give his de- cisions and opinions effective expres- sion whether in conversation, speaking or writing. His character was marked by inflexible honesty, good faith, direct- ness of purpose in all things and the possession of the courage of his con- victions in a rare degree. His friendship was highly valued by those who possessed it. In ordinary social intercourse he was a most agree- able companion and in times of trouble he was strong, sympathetic and help- 37 ee ~ POINTS oN POLICIES. “ History is Philosophy teaching by Ex- amples.’’ So if one doesn’t know already abou’ the PHCENIX MUTUAL a fact like this that follows may be a good teacher : Policy 44,597, On the life of H.
