Beschreibung:

1910 Turner has a population of 200: By 1910, Turner had a population fo 200 with a school, a post office, several stores, express and telegraph facilities, and a small depot. The first businesses and much of the original town developed on the south side of what is now known as 55th and Kansas Avenue. C.S. Wilson started a bank on the west side of the street. On the north side was a small white frame Baptist Church. Founded during the 1860's it was originally called the Mountain Grove Baptist Church, later renamed the First Baptist Church of Turner and moved to its present location. Several other churches have faithfully served the Turner community. Mrs. Helen McDaniel, former Principal of the Turner Elementary School, compiled and wrote, along with other residents, a fine history of the Turner community in 1979. This 37 page booklet distinguished old families that have graced Turner's heritage. Some of these include: the Lovelace, McCamish, Wilson, Mamie, Madden, Lillich, Potter, Clark, Pitkin, Swartz, Wendt, Dreyer, Hubert, Godard, Perkins, Partonnar, Ainsworth, Rodgers, Locke, Petigo, Probst, Arndt, Payne, Barber, Swingley, Hearin, and Strickland families. Many of these and other early day resident of Shawnee Township are buried in the Maple Hill Cemetery and the Shawnee Township Cemetery on South 55th Street. Major industries in the post-war era such as Boise Cascade, Thompson-Hayward, T.G.&Y., Southwest Industries, Fairbanks Morse, the Bulk Mail Center and the soon to be completed Swift Processing plant have located in the Turner bottoms and greatly contributed to the economic growth of Kansas City, Kansas.
