Island story

Catherine A. Turple is commemorated at R4-014 in the Pioneer Cemetery. The memorial records her death in 1903 and identifies her as the wife of Charles A. Turple. It also names Alexander D. Turple as their son. This stone adds an earlier family layer to the later Charles Alfred Turple memorial at R6-001, where R. Jane Harris Turple is identified as his wife. This account therefore treats Catherine as a distinct, earlier spouse rather than collapsing the two family monuments.
