The partners were Herbert Alexander Rawson (1846-1909) and Henry Turner (c.1849-1911).  Rawson was the brother of Percy Rawson (see Rawson Bros); Turner’s background is uncertain.  By the late 1870s, they were ivory cutters and dealers at Sellers Works (see John Sellers) in Arundel Street.  They moved to Cambridge Street Horn Works, but ended their partnership in 1884.  Rawson continued to trade in ivory in Cambridge Street.  He lived at Sale Hill and died on 4 January 1909, leaving £3,039.  Turner also continued as an ivory and pearl cutter and brought his son, Thornton, into the trade.  In 1895, Thornton disappeared on a business trip to Cologne.  A body with a bullet in the heart (found floating in the Rhine and later buried) was suspected to be Thornton.  Only after his father had attended an exhumation was this disproved.  Reports on the incident filled the Sheffield press in July 1895, until Thornton turned up a few weeks later in Vienna, where he had been living (Sheffield Independent, 12, 16,18, 20 July, 11 September 1895).  Henry Turner later abandoned the ivory trade and became a sewing machine salesman.  He lived at Club Garden Road and died on 4 October 1911, leaving £58.
