Rev. Turner worked with Salem Quakers helping freedom seekers.

Rev. Asa Turner's 90-acre homestead on the southwest corner of town was given to him by the church as a parsonage and place to grow his own food. The Asa Turner home was later moved west of 9th Street on Houston Avenue. The home is reported to have had slaves' hiding places in it.
