December of that year he was elected
Chancellor of the University of Georgia,

was appointed Major-General to com-
mand Georgia’s forces when that State
seceded and in 1861 was commissioned
a Brigadier-General in the Confederate
Army. After the war he resumed the
practice of law at Savannah. He was
appointed United States Minister to

joined Terry’s Texas Rangers, the most

Confederacy, serving with conspicuous
gallantry until the close of the war.

_ CURTIS CHAUNCEY TURNER, 785 S.
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-
