255 James Frederick (1860-c1917) Fred is reported in Marjory Waters' book to have fatally injured a man in a fight, and fled to Winnipeg where he joined the North West Mounted Police and fought in the Northwest Rebellion in 1885. A search of RCMP records has not surfaced any record of Fred's service. Perhaps he may have been a teamster in support of army troops.
But he definitely was in the west in 1885. It was in Port Arthur, Ontario that year that he married Margaret Conrad Jones, a widow. At the time, he was a locomotive engineer, probably with the CPR.
In December 1888, at the birth of his second son, John, Fred was living in Chippewa County, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, where he was an engineer. He was likely employed by the CPR which had reorganized the Minnesota, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad ("The Soo Line"} that year. In John's birth record, wife Maggie's birthplace is listed as Paris, Kentucky.
The 1900 census for Rockland Township in northwest Michigan, about 150 km south of Thunder Bay, includes an entry for Fred, his wife Maggie, and children 15 year old Frank and 11 year old John. The record shows Frank being born in New York. Rockland was a copper mining hotbed at the time, and Fred operated a lodging facility with 20 boarders. Fred was listed as "Landlord".
In the 1905 census for Beaver Bay, Lake County, Minnesota, a small community on Lake Superior northeast of Duluth, Fred J. Turner and wife Maggie and 16 year old son John are listed. Fred was a mechanical labourer and John a fireman.
Fred may have returned to Canada at Fort William, Ontario on July 24, 1911 from Superior, Wisconsin to work for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway which was completing its line across Western Canada.
Waters' has a possible death for Fred in 1934 in Fort William. No record of this has been found.

Bystanders, concerned about the nearly-drowned youngster, neglected his rescuer, who, energy expended, had not the strength to pull himself from the water. Young John slipped beneath the surface and was drowned". Turner, John (I1458)

289 John Turner was a most colourful character. He was a tall man with a flowing mane, full beard and moustache. He was adventuresome at an early age, leaving home to work in the wilds of northwestern New Brunswick. He became one of the Province's well known stagecoach "whips", and he used this expertise, together with a strong and fearsome entrepreneurial spirit, to start new businesses alone and with others. His limitless ambition and drive led to uprooting his family for a new life in Rivière-du-Loup. His enterprise became the basis for the family's wealth and its transformation into railroading.
In 1848, he owned and operated the St. Mary's Ferry. In the 1850s and 1860s, he drove or operated a stagecoach service on a number of routes including Fredericton to St. Andrews and Fredericton to Woodstock. He also took over his father George's cab service for the N.B. Assembly upon George's death. He was also a blacksmith in Fredericton.
In 1868 he and his family moved to Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec, where, in partnership with J.R. Tupper, he commenced a stagecoach/mail courier service along the Grand Portage Route to Edmundston. John took over ownership of the business in 1876 and continued through to the 1890s. It was a substantial operation with up to 28 horses, several drivers, coaches and sleighs, and stables at several points along the route. The service was vastly curtailed with the coming of the Temiscouata Railway along the same route in 1889.
John and his wife Agnes Nicholson had nine children, two of whom died before reaching adulthood. Four of his five sons continued in transportation as railroad engineers.
Agnes died in 1894 in Rivière-du-Loup. John lived his remaining years, there and in Ottawa and Winnipeg, where he died in 1911.
John's legacy was the lure and love of transportation that he instilled in his boys, that carried on in the careers of Turner men in three successive generations.
