The Turner Siblings

The six Turner siblings were Jesse William De Garmo, Olive Eleanor, Henry Mann, Chester Helmer, Jessie Gertrude, and Wallace Foote.  All were born in Jackson, the gold-rush town where their parents grew up (with the exception of the second child, Olive, who was born in Surprise Valley).  The family eventually moved to Berkeley in the 1880's, where the mother Adeline ran a boarding house for students at 2239 Dwight Way and the father Clarence worked as a bookkeeper.  His mother Ellen De Garmo Turner, lived with them.  The older siblings would have been nearing or in adulthood at the time of the move.  Only the youngest two siblings, Jessie and Wallace, attended Cal.
