8. ELIAS T. TURNER [663] was born 10 September 1821 in Perry County, Click to view larger versionTennessee, and died 11 March 1885. He married SARA DURNING. She was born 25 Jun 1815 in North Carolina, and died 29 Dec 1893. Elias was a farmer. They settled in Franklin County, Arkansas in 1847. At this time Elias contracted to buy 500 acres between Cass and Ozark for $2 per acre. He and his wife settled on the land, and it wasn't long until they acquired many new friends, one of them a neighborhood school teacher. Elias confided in his new friend that he had $1,000 with which he was going to purchase the 500 acres, and before too much time had elapsed, the teacher stopped by the Turner house when he knew Elias was sway for the day and Sarah was down at the creek washing clothes. Although he had not been told where the money was hidden, it didn't take him long to find it tucked away in a walnut chest the Turners had brought with them from Tennessee. He took the money and skipped the country, never to be found. The $1,000 was lost forever, but the Turners were still obligated to buy the land because they had signed a contract. Somehow, over the years, Elias managed to pay his debt, and the land became his, later to be handed down to his heirs. Elias served as Justice of the Peace for a number of years. When the Civil War broke out in 1861 Union troops eventually edged through Arkansas, Elias preserved food for his family by storing corn in the logs of the cabin where pilfering soldiers and renegades could not find it.
