Anecdote (fam). JAMES W. TURNBULL, M.D.
A brief excerpt from the book, The StOlY of Saskatchewan and its People, By John
Hawkes, Volume Ill, 1924.
Dr. James W. Turnbull, physician and surgeon, came to the starting point of his career
well equipped by thorough training, and in the intervening years has been a close and
discriminating student, quickly adopting those methods and measures which his judgment
sanctions as of value in the work. He has practiced in Regina for some years and is held in high
confidence and esteem by both his fellow practitioners and townsmen. He was born in Carleton
County, Ontario, in 1876, a son ofRobert Turnbull, extended mention of the family being made
in the sketch ofR. W. Turnbull on another page of this work.
In the pursuit of his education James W. Turnbull attended the public schools of
Kemptville and Vankleek and upon the completion of his schooling he engaged in teaching
school. He taught in Ontario for four years and in 1898 came to Regina, Saskatchewan, and
taught there and in the schools at Strathcona and Red Deer until 1902. In 1898 Mr. Turnbull was
a student in the Regina Normal School. In 1902 he enrolled in McGill University for the study
of medicine and was graduated from that institution in 1906 with the M. D. degree. He took
postgraduate work in surgery and obstetrics in New York in 1907 and remained in that city until
1911, completing an intensive course of study. In 1912 he returned to Regina and opened offices
for the practice of his profession. Dr. Turnbull has specialized in surgery and maternity cases
and has achieved success in those branches of the profession. In addition to his professional
duties he also cultivates one thousand acres of fine land in this district.
In 1906 Dr. Turnbull was married to Miss Stella McNeel, who was born in Chesley,
Ontario, a daughter of Rev. Mr. McNeel, a Presbyterian minister. Mrs. Turnbull received her
education in the place of her birth. To Dr. and Mrs. Turnbull two children have been born:
James, who is a student in the local school; and Bill, who is five years of age. The religious faith
of the Turnbull family is that of the Knox Presbyterian Church. The Doctor is a member of the
Canadian Club, the Country Club and the Golf Club and he is president of the Provincial Chess
Association, having held that important position for some time. The Doctor's hobbies are
checkers and chess and he is proficient in both games.

AnecdoteJOHN TURNBULL M.D.
Reference Material: Broadstone Volume #2, History of Greene County, Ohio, 1918
In the memorial annals of Greene county there are few names held in better remembrance than that of the late Dr. John Tumbull, who died at his home in Bellbrook in the summer of 1907 and whose widow is still living there, her place of residence ever since her marriage at the close of the Civil War.
Doctor Tumbull served as a surgeon in the Union army during the Civil War and a narrative of his experiences in that connection would make a most interesting book. He was graduated from Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia in the spring of 1861 and had hardly returned to his home in this county when the President's call for volunteers to put down the armed rebellion against the government came in April of that year. He at once enlisted for service and went to the front as a member of Company A, Seventeenth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, enlisted for three months. He was promoted to the position of hospital steward and after four months of service was mustered out in West Virginia. He then served gratuitously for nearly a year as a volunteer assistant surgeon with the Sixty-fifth Ohio and with the "minute men" of 1862, and then was appointed assistant surgeon of the One Hundred and Fifth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, joining that command at Tullahoma, Tennessee, July 4, 1863. The surgeon of this regiment, Dr. Charles N. Fowler, being constantly on detached service as medical director, Doctor Tumbull was practically surgeon of the One Hundred and Fifth Ohio until the close of the war and during that period of service rendered his professional offices with a skill and a kindliness of manner that endeared him to all members of the command. During the furious charges of the battle of Chickamagua, Surgeon Tumbull was on duty with his regiment and two men were shot while he was dressing their wounds. After the battle was over he was left to look after the wounded and was captured by the enemy, but two weeks later was released and sent through to the Union lines at Chattanooga. While thus a prisoner the Doctor served friend and foe alike, but his kindly offices in behalf of such of the enemy as stood in need of surgical attention did not prevent a squad of Confederate cavalry from robbing him of his coat, hat, boots, money, case of instruments - in fact, everything he had save his shirt and trousers, the rebels giving him an old pair of shoes in exchange for the good pair they took from him. So completely stripped was he that in describing afterward the act the Doctor quaintly observed that the "rebs" had taken from him "about everything except his hope of salvation, which was so small they did not find it." In consequence of the exposure thus entailed Doctor Tumbull was confined for several weeks in a hospital at Chattanooga.
Dr. John Turnbull was a native son of Greene County, a member of one of the oldest families in the county, both his father and his mother having been representatives of pioneer families in this section. He was born on a farm in Cedarville township, March 10, 1840, son of John and Catherine Margaret (Kyle) Turnbull, the latter also was born here, daughter of Samuel and Ruth (Mitchell) Kyle, the former was for many years a member of the bench of associate judges for Greene county. John Tumbull was born in the neighborhood of the "Hermitage," Andrew Jackson's retreat in the vicinity of Nashville, Tennessee, February 17, 1801 and was still in his "teens" when his parents, William Tumbull and wife, came up here with their family in 1817 and settled on a tract of land on what is now known as the Columbus pike, in Cedarville township, about three miles from the village ofCedarville. Of the children born to the pioneer William Tumbull and wife six sons, Alexander, Thomas, Gilbert, John, James and David, and two daughters, Betsey, who married Joseph Sterritt, and Isabella who married John Chalmers, grew to maturity and reared families of their own, hence the Turnbull connection hereabout became a numerous one, as well as in the neighborhood of Monmouth, Illinois, to which latter place William Tumbull and his sons, Alexander, Gilbert and David, moved in 1833, establishing their homes there. John Tumbull grew to manhood on the pioneer farm in Cedarville and on February 21, 1824, was united in marriage to Catherine Margaret Kyle, one of the daughters of Judge Kyle. After his marriage he began farming on his own account on a farm in Cedarville Township, erecting there a log cabin for the reception of his bride. In 1842 he supplanted the log house by a good-sized two-story frame house, which on the night of the day on which it was finished was nearly destroyed by fire communicated from a blaze which had broken out in the adjoining and abandoned log cabin. The damaged house was then restored as a onestory house and in it the family lived until later a brick addition was erected. John Tumbull lived to be near eighty years of age, his death occurring on August 12, 1880; and he was buried in the Cedarville cemetery. He was twice married, his first wife having died in 1852, after which he married Margaret J. Alien, daughter of Hugh and Catherine AlIen, and was the father of nineteen children, all of whom grew to maturity save three. The home place came into the possession of Samuel K. TurnbulI, who rebuilt the house, tearing away the brick addition and erecting a two-story frame house. The Tumbulls, originally Seceders, became affiliated with the United Presbyterian church following the "union" of 1858.
The younger John Turnbull was reared on the home farm in Cedarville township, received his elementary schooling in the neighborhood school and early turned his attention to the study of medicine, presently entering Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia from which institution he was graduated in the spring of 1861, at twenty-one years of age. Almost immediately thereafter he enlisted his services in behalf of the Union arms, as noted in the opening paragraph of this memorial sketch, and served until the close of the war. Upon the completion of his military service Doctor Turnbull returned to Greene county and opened an office for the practice of his profession in the village of Bellbrook, where he spent the remainder of his life, his death occurring there on July 19, 1907. Doctor Tumbull served for some time as president of the local board of education, as a member of the town council and at one time was the nominee of the Democratic party in this district for a seat in the Ohio General Assembly.
On September 9, 1865 Dr. John Turnbull was united in marriage to Josephine Kyle, daughter of Dr. John and Caroline (Bullard) Kyle, of Xenia, and to this union were born two children, Jesse, who died at the age of sixteen years and Pearl A, who married Harry Armstrong, attorney-at-law, and had one child, a daughter, Josephine. After the death of her husband Mrs. Turnbull continued to make her home at Bellbrook.
