January Quarterly Meeting
Doctor Turner’s daughter, Mrs. Barbee spoke about her father and her life as the child of a man most people affectionately called Doc. Turner. The doctor was the medical center, maternity ward and the emergency room of Bagdad. Can you imagine the number of babies he delivered and the number of stitches he administered to workers of the mill? Mrs. Barbee remembered her father leaving the house many times after midnight to deliver a baby.
Her husband, Mr. Barbee, spoke about World War II. He graduated the academy in 1939 as a pilot and flew a fighter in the “Great War”. Now in his late eighties, he is one of only a few pilots still around after literally helping save the world.
Mrs. & Mrs. Barbee greeted by Millie Hatcher and Ed Bailly
