Earl H. Turner joined his brother Wellmore B. Turner in practice with Oscar M. Gottschall until 1920 when Gottschalll died and the brothers formed the firm of Turner & Turner.
He was a tall, spare, and thin man. He couldn’t be bothered with socializing. If you had a case with him, you would talk business and get out. He wasted no time in idleness.
Adam Schantz ran a major brewery in Dayton and had significant real estate holdings. At one point he got into a business dispute with a son-in-law and it boiled over into court. Schantz hired Earl Turner to represent him; the other side was represented by Roy Fitzgerald and Carroll Sprigg. A young lawyer Harry Jeffrey never forgot watching how Turner cut his formidable opponents to ribbons and was so impressed that he went to Turner’s office a few days later to ask for a job.
Earl Turner was killed in an accident at a railroad crossing in Colorado in 1928 that also claimed the lives of his mother and two sisters.
