| Mother | Margaret (d. 1872) |
BMDB Events
| Birth | David B. Turnbull was born on 16 April 1827 in Newark, New Jersey, United States. |
Other Life Events
| Anecdote | David B. Turnbull, manufacturer, was born at Newark, New Jersey, April l6th, 1827. He was a son of James and Margaret Turnbull, the former born in Scotland, and the latter in England. His father came to this country in 1817, settling in Newark, New Jersey, and engaged in the business of carriage making, following it until his death, which occurred July, 1848. His mother died in 1872. His education was only what he could obtain at the district school. Choosing carriage making as his trade, he served an apprenticeship for seven years with his father, and succeeded him in the business on the death of the latter. In 1852, desirous of increasing his trade, he opened a branch in New Orleans, which he successfully operated until the beginning of the Rebellion, which broke up the enterprise. Sixty thousand dollars, which he had accumulated during the last nine years, were lost by this. In 1861 he sold his business in Newark to his brother, Alexander, and removed to Madison, Wisconsin, where he engaged in farming for a year, remaining there, however, two years longer to regain his lost health. In 1864 he went back to his native place, staying until the following year, when he moved to Aurora, Illinois, where he assumed the entire management of the business of Keith & Snell, who had taken a wagon manufactory on an assignment. He remained in their employment two years, and the end of the next year found him without a cent in the world, having spent his whole salary. He then made a bold resolve to try his fortune again, and, borrowing ten dollars of a friend, he went to South Bend, Indiana. The following day he bought some lumber and made himself a bench, and then commenced and laid the foundation, by hand, of the immense business now carried on by the firm of which he is the head. He remained there one year, and then removed to Goshen, in the same State, where he enlarged his business so that his place was capable of producing about twenty-five thousand dollars of finished work per year. He remained in this place until 1870,when he removed to Laporte, and formed a stock company known as the Laporte Wheel Company, of which he was the general manager. After conducting this business three years he sold his interest to William Niles for the sum of two thousand five hundred dollars. In 1873 he removed to Napoleon, Ohio, and rented an agricultural manufactory, carrying on business there for three years. During this time he associated with him his eldest son, Frederick A. Turnbull, and Mr. S. P. Shelly, doing business under the firm name of Turnbull & Shelly. In these three years his business had increased to such an extent that his accommodations were far too small, and he saw that he must look for more extensive ground. He selected twelve acres in Defiance, the county seat of the adjoining county on the right bank of the Maumee river, just below the confluence of that stream with the Auglaize river. In 1876 he erected the buildings he now occupies, and engaged in the manufacturing of wagons and agricultural wheels. His business has increased very fast, requiring additional buildings, year by year, until now they cover an area of five acres. From the small beginning at South Bend, in 1870, has grown a business of about half a million dollars per annum, or an average of about twenty wagons and one thousand agricultural wheels per day. His position is very favorably located for his business, as he can utilize both rivers for a market in which to buy his logs, they being rafted down to his neighborhood and remaining in the water until he is ready to saw them. At this writing he has about four million feet in the water. In 1852 he was made a F. A. M., and has attained the degree of Knight Templar. In politics he has never taken a very prominent part, but has used his influence and given his support to the Republican Party, which he has always adhered to, his father being an old-line whig before him. He is not a church member, but entertains sound orthodox views, and is a regular attendant at, and a liberal supporter of, the Presbyterian Church, of which he is a trustee and his wife a member. He was married January 20, 1848, to Miss Frances J. Hayden, daughter of Mrs. Hayden, a widow lady residing in Newark, New Jersey. Three children have blest this union Fred. A., David H., and William. The two eldest are associated with their father in business, Fred. A. attending to the financial department, and David H. acting as superintendent, while William is fitting himself to be a competent machinist and draughtsman. He has already served his full term as apprentice in a shop, and is about to travel in Europe to complete his education, and upon his return will be superintendent of machinery for his father. Soon after he came here Mr. Turnbull found the Presbyterian Church building in a dilapidated condition, not inviting to the members or calculated to bring additions to their number. Through his energy, ability, and inventive genius he has made it one of the finest churches in the city. For the benefit of the musical interest of the city he has furnished a room and piano to a teacher free of charge. Mr. Turnbull is a gentleman in every respect, and ranks high in social and business circles. He has done more the past five years for the welfare of Defiance than any other, and bids fair to become one of the leading men of the Northwest. |
