Title

Josella Road

Description

Although most of the roads in Turner County are named after one person of significance whether local or otherwise, Josella Road is an interesting example of a road named after two people. Even more interesting is that they combined both names rather than a double name. The road is named for the sisters, Elmira Josephine Bohannon Betts (May 2, 1858 – September 27, 1907) and Ella Bohannon Evans (December 27, 1852 – February 22, 1910), both married to prominent businessmen and founders of Ashburn.

“Jos”ephine + Ella = Josella Rd.
