| Abstract/Notes |
Henry Eyring Turley was born on 7 June 1902 in Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. Because of a logging accident, he attended a chiropractor for his injuries and became interested in chiropractic as a career. He moved to San Antonio and graduated from Texas Chiropractic College (TCC) in December, 1924. After practicing in Mexico for a few years, he moved back to the United States and joined the faculty of his alma mater, 10 March, 1927. Turley had interests in neurology and radiology and authored texts on both subjects. [He was k]nown for sitting for graduation photos holding an X-ray tube and, ever popular with the students, he continued on the faculty for thirty-eight years, finishing when the school moved to Pasadena from San Antonio in 1965. During this time, he gave many postgraduate lectures, participated in extracurricular activities such as singing with a quartet and playing on a basketball team at the TCC. He also found time to earn a Bachelor of Science degree from Trinity University in San Antonio in 1947. He continued in private practice until 1990 and died 19 July, 1997, in Boerne, Texas. He is very well remembered at TCC; in 1979 the Turley Anatomical Building was dedicated and the 2006-2008 school prospectus features his photo. With materials supplied by Joseph C.
