Turner's Country Store
in Four Points, served
citizens for years
Have you been out to four-points in our county? Let me
tell you, there is a good bit of history out these country
roads for sure. One spot that is fascinating to me is the old
Turner's Store.
Turner's located in four points once had gasoline
pumps out front and sold milk, bread, fresh eggs, candies
for the kids and some household goods. This wonderful
country store would have been an essential place to stop
for farmers and others in this section of southern Jenkins
County.
R.L. “Boss” Turner, owned this little country store for
over 40 years. From the 1920's until the 1960's. Dottie
T. Leatherwood is his Granddaughter and she still has
ledger books from the 1920's and 1930's. It is said that the
original building burned and they had to rebuild.
Mr. and Mrs. Turner also lived across from the Elam
Baptist Church, which is not far from the location of the
old store. No one is sure who ran the old country store
in the seventies, however, we do know that Mrs. Betty
Bennett ran the store from the eighties to the nineties. If
you have any other history on this historic country store
or special places in Jenkins County that you would love
to see featured, please send to: samsylvaniatimes@gmail.

At the June City Council meeting last Tuesday, council
members voted to award Coastal Tree Care, LLC the bid
for removing 18 dead oak trees and pruning an additional
10 more from the grounds of the Millen Cemetery. Coastal
Tree came in at $17,600 to perform the work including
grinding the 18 stumps. The dogwood trees also need
removing since the blight that affected dogwoods across
the state several years ago. “The city work crews will
remove those {dogwoods},” City Manager Jeff Brantley
told council members. Coastal Tree Care is owned and
operated by Perry Royal.
