Appended to Newell Turner's obituary was the following:
The Skaneateles Press, 15 November 1910
"My father was a carpenter by trade at Red Creek [Wayne Co], N.Y. When I was 14 years old, I was called on to go to work with him, sometimes being away from home from Monday morning till [sic] Saturday night. In the spring of 1843 (when I was 21 years old), I asked my father if I ought not to go out for myself. He said he thought I ought so to do. At that time I had a brother who had left home and had come to Skaneateles to work, so I walked from Red Creek to Skaneateles [34 miles by today's roads] in search of him, and found him learning carriage making. There were five flourishing carriage shops in Skaneateles.
"After having supper with my brother, I told him I wanted work, so he took me at once to see Joseph Hall. After talking some time we came to terms and I engaged to work for him as a carpenter for four years. For the first year I was to have $26 a month beside board and washing.
"On the following morning I started back home to get the few things I possessed. Red Creek was some distance from any public conveyance—the nearest was a stage, running from Oswego to Auburn, which daily passed through Victory, a town five or six miles from my home. I was confronted by the problem of getting a small trunk from Red Creek to Victory. I could not hire, as I did not have enough money to do so—50¢ being all the money I had in the world. I got my brother Nathaniel to go with me. He carried one end of the trunk and I carried the other from Red Creek to Victory. When the stage came along, I gave the driver 25¢ to carry the trunk to Auburn and 25¢ to pay the stage driver to carry it from Auburn to Skaneateles. Then I had no money and was going to a strange place. I walked 12 miles to Cato, where I had another brother working on a farm. I stayed overnight with him and next morning after borrowing $5 I started on foot for Skaneateles. In spite of pretty poor beginning, I saved during the first year, besides buying clothing and tools with which to work, $100 in money.
"The first watch I ever owned cost me $21. I worked nights over time to pay for it. After doing my day's work, I would go to the shop and work until 11 or 12 o'clock on piece work, then be up early ready for the next day's work. All I ever had in the world I earned by close application to business, having always been blessed with good health."
