  Notes	According to his obituary, and that of Blanche Marie Elizabeth Pitard, he married his wife’s niece Blanche Coffee after his wife Agatha's tragic death. One possibility for his parents are Brisbinall Turnbull & Louisa, who in 1880 have a 9 year old son named Paul. They also have a daughter named Leonora, 7, and a Leonora Turnbull married a "J.T. Sullivan," who appears in his obit in 1948. But: "Mrs. J. T Sullivan, nee Leonora Turnbull," died in 1903 (obit, Times-Picayune, 16 June 1903): why would he list her as an apparently living relative in 1948? The wedding notice, Times-Democrat, 9 Feb. 1896, p3: PITARD - TURNBULL — On Tuesday, Jan 28, 1896, at the Jesuit’s Church, by Rev. Father Gaffney, S.J., Mr. Paul W. Turnbull and Miss Agatha Pitard. No cards. San Francisco papers please copy. Who is in San Francisco?

  Notes	Clarion Ledger (Jackson, Mississippi), 10 Feb. 1923, p3 Miss Blanche Coffee Becomes Bride Friends and relatives in Jackson have received announcement of the marriage of Miss Blanche Coffee, of Shreveport, but formelry of Jackson, and Mr. Paul Wharton Turnbull, of New Orleans. The marriage was a quiet affair in the home of the bride's mother in Shreveport, and the happy couple left at once in a touring car to spend the honeymoon in the Ozark Mountains. Mr. and Mrs. Turnbull are now at the St. Charles, in New Orleans, awaiting the completion of their home where they will at once begin housekeeping. The bride is remember as an assistant to Prof. Robert Pitard and also as an instructor of music at Belhaven College so it is that her Jackson friends are hastening to offer congratulations and best wishes for the happy couple.
