He was mentioned in the following excerpt from the writing of Jacob Carter Keithley:
"I was then 19 years old; and after working on the farm all summer, I concluded to go to Levi Tumer's in Calhoun County, IL., to spend the winter. He had married my oldest sister, Nancy, and they had raised four children, George, Margaret, Levi and Edwin. So I boarded a steamboat at Hannibal in the evening and at midnight was at Tumer's landing. Being then sixty miles down the River, the boat stopped for wood. The deck hands were all negroes about twelve in number. As they went to work to load the wood the ______took up his song and all followed until the boat ______ ______ and went m her course. Where I _______ cabin occupied by two men. I slept _____ till morning and then was directed to the Turner residence two miles up the river, where I was received by my relatives and given breakfast, after which the boys showed me over the bottom which was covered with heavy timber of various kinds.
Calhoun County is long and narrow, lying between the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers and coming to a point near Alton. Levi Turner moved there from Missouri about 1834, bought land from the Government, kept a woodyard, sold cord wood, and got wealthy. He owned a large tract of land in the bottom and all of an island in the Mississippi River. He hired many wood choppers who lived in shanties and chopped and corded through the winter. This wood he sold to steamboats for many years. The bottom was thinly settled though the land was very rich; for some seasons it was overflowed by the river, driving the inhabitants to the hills two or three miles from their homes for several weeks, and scattering the cord wood over the bottom.
After looking the situation over, I concluded to stay and help haul cord wood with George, the oldest son, who was about my size. Levi had two yoke of oxen and two wagons. So we took them and went to hauling wood and cording it on the bank of the river in long ricks convenient for the steamboats. And it kept us busy to keep them supplied. During the winter he kept fifteen or twenty men chopping cord wood and saw logs. He owned a flatboat seventy-five feet long, twenty feet wide and four feet deep which was used to carry wood, barrel staves and heading to St. Louis, there to be sold to coopers to make into barrels. That fall the boat was loaded, and six men put on board to row and steer it down the river to St. Louis. A cabin with a cook stove and beds and at the end of the boat, there was a man to do the cooking. It was sixty-five miles to the city, and it took two days to get there. We tied the boat to the shore and waited for the morning. We could see the lights of the city and could hear the fire bells ringing; but we did not dare to leave our boat. Next morning we ate an early breakfast and then wended our way to the city to see the sights we had long wished to see.
St. Louis was founded by Pierre Laclede in 1764, and at the time of our visit in 1849 was eighty-five years old, and was the largest city in the State. It was quite a sight to a boy who had never before been away from home. We spent two days seeing the city while Levi was selling the contents of his boat. And as he was not yet through, we boarded a steamboat at dark and at midnight were back at Turner's landing. Four days afterwards we were warned by a steamboat whistle that the flatboat was coming, it being towed by the steamer. So five men took the skiff and brought it ashore. It was now ready for another trip. After a few days George and I dropt it down to the woodyard and loaded it ready for a steamer. That night we went to bed, and at daylight a steamer whistled and by the time we were ready, it had drawn up the landing, and then took us in tow. (The next few lines are illegible.) There were no railroads to compete with them, and it was very seldom that one of them was sunk. Pilots commanded high wages. The celebrated Mark Twain was a pilot on this river, and made his home at Hannibal, where a monument is built to his memory.
The Mississippi sometimes overflows and spreads over the bottom. At such times the inhabitants would take their families and stock to the hills three or four miles away and camp for several weeks. If it came in June, it would destroy the crops and gardens and wash away the cord wood or scatter it and make the bottom
unhealthy for a time.
In the fall of 1849 we took a trip to St. Charles County, Missouri. George, Martha and I got in the skiff and paddled down the river about twenty miles till we got opposite St. Charles County. We tied the boat to the bank near a big warehouse and walked four miles to Uncle Absolom Keithleys where we spent the night. The next day we visited his cooper shop and saw five of his boys making barrels and some other farming. Mack, Hiram and Carter I had seen before. The name of others were John, Jacob, Abram, Wiltshire, Franklin, Harrison,
Henry, William, Mary and Jane.
Capogray was a town five miles down the river on the Missouri side where- we often got our supplies. Also on the Missouri side six or eight miles up the river was a grist mill where we went to get corn ground. We rigged the boat with a sail and went upstream before the wind, and then came back with ease with the current. Gilead was a small town up the river on the Illinois side where we got the mail and supplies. A few miles opposite, on the Illinois River was the town of Harding, where I went to get young apple trees for an orchard. Here I stayed all night and took a wagon load home the next day and set them out in a young orchard.
In the spring of 1850, 1 was sent in Levi's place a few miles away to help raise a log school house. When I arrived at the place I made it known that I was sent to help raise the building, they said they lacked a man to take up a comer. I told them I would try. So I got on the comer with an axe (?) and notches and fitted them together until the house was raised and completed to the roof to their satisfaction. I do not know whether this school house was ever completed, or whether any school was ever taught in it, for I soon left Illinois for Missouri. The winter was now over and the wood-choppers had measured their cord wood and received their money and were on their way home. But a great deal of the wood was yet to be hauled to the landing. So we continued our work for several weeks delivering wood and hauling saw-logs to the river to be rafted to St, Louis. When this was done, we plowed some new ground, and planted some corn and worked in the garden until the latter part of June.
When I told Levi that I wanted to go home to attend school, he said that if I would stay he would give me a job that would not be hard work and would be more remunerative. But I told him that I was determined to get an education. He said that was right; so he concluded to send George with me to go to school."¹¹
