Biography

Henry is buried at Cavalry Cemetery and Mausoleum (Plot: 3) in the City of St. Louis, Missouri.

Military Figure. Captain Turner's mother was a member of the Randolph family of Virginia. Graduating from West Point, Lt. Turner was chosen with two other officers to attend the royal school of cavalry in France. At that time, the French led the world in the perfection of their cavalry service. Lt. Turner, with the help of another office, translated and adapted the French tactics with some modification, for the cavalry branch of the United States Army. It became a standard authority. He later became associated with James H. Lucas and General William Tecumseh Sherman in the banking business. (bio by: Connie Nisinger)
