A Liberal, he would be re-elected in each following election up to and including the 1921 election. He was summoned to the Senate of Canada in 1922 representing the senatorial division of Gloucester, New Brunswick on the advice of William Lyon Mackenzie King. He served in Parliament (both the Commons and the Senate) for 44 years until his death[1] in Bathurst at the age of 95 in 1944.[2]
Turgeon was married twice: to Margaret Eulalia Baldwin in 1876 and to Mary Loretta Meahan in 1905.[2]
His son James Gray Turgeon also served as Member of the House of Commons and the Canadian Senate for many years.[1] His other son, William Ferdinand Alphonse Turgeon, was a Saskatchewan politician and judge.[3]
He was author of Un tribut à la race acadienne. Mémoires, 1871-1927, published in Montreal in 1928.[1]
