.... I have an obituary from the Shreveport paper for John Killen Turner, Jr., who died a couple of days ago. According to my files, he was the son of Lola Monzingo and John Killen Turner, Sr. He was my father's first cousin (a double cousin through Killens and Monzingos). Brothers are listed as George Turner of Minden, and Harold Monzingo, of White Fish, Montana.
