Note 1: Death TURNER JAMES T 4894/1860 Parents ARTHUR & CAROLINE MUSWELLBROOK Maitland Mercury 14 Feb 1860 Death from the Cumberland Cattle Disease.-On the fifth instant, Mr James Turner, of Halls Creek, came to his death in a very short period from this malignant disease The following are the particulars A flock of fat sheep travelling to market camped in his stockyard, when one of the sheep was reported by the shepherd as being smothered the shepherd advised Mr Turner to skin the sheep, as it was very fat. This Turner did, and when the sheep was skinned, observing it to be excellent mutton, he resolved to salt it for use. While chopping up the sheep he wounded himself slightly In the right hand with one of the bones, but thought nothing of It at the time-the wound being so very trifling. After salting the mutton, however, he complained of pain In the hand and arm, which rapidly extended to the shoulder, producing a swelling under the arm The pain then extended down the side with great rapidity, causing a difficulty in breathing. The pain continuing, and Mr Turner becoming rapidly worse, Dr Thornton, of Muswellbrook, was sent for on the Monday following, but Mr Turner died on that day, and Dr Thornton, learning on his way that he was dead, did not proceed, but re traced his steps. It appears remarkable that In a case of this nature no inquest should have been held The matter requires explanation, which Dr. Thornton, as coroner, is probably able and willing to afford. An inquiry into a case of this kind might prove very useful to the community, in the way of putting them on their guard against this dreadful complaint Mr Turner we understand, has left a wife and nine children to deplore their loss Died leaving a wife and nine children!!

Note 2: Sydney Morning Herald Mon 19 Dec 1881 A YOUNG man named William Henry Turner, 24 years of age, residing at 75, Wells-street, Redfern, died on Saturday night, in the Infirmary, from the effects of an injury said to have been received during a quarrel. The medical examination showed only a slight wound over the left eye. He was locked up, it appears, at the Redfern police station, on the 11th instant, for being drunk and disorderly, and fined 10s., or four days' imprisonment. He was released from gaol on the 15th instant, and again arrested on a similar charge, and fined £1 or seven days. On the 16th he paid the fine, and was taken by his mother the same evening, about 8 o'clock, to the Infirmary, where he remained until his death on Saturday night. It appears he had been fighting previous to his arrest on the 11th instant, and received a cut over the left eye, but did not then complain of any injurious effects.
