Warren: So let me give you some background before you start recording. Okay I want you to understand where I'm coming from when I start talking. To you about the Mr. Cribs hanging. I'm going to give you the background on my family. The Hancock family. They came to Turner County in 1860 and settled on Alapaha River on what's now Hill Young's farm. And there's still a two-story house over there that I think my great grandfather built. He was a primitive Baptist preacher. Redheaded man. And he pastor in Bushwick Creek Church in Irwin County.mAnd he spoke several times in the church just south of Abbeville. But he had this huge family of boys and two or three girls. I don't remember how many. My grandfather built a house next to his house on Hill Young Farm field now. And he had eleven, ten or eleven people. Which our father was in the crowd. Shelley: He was one of the crowds. Gail: So your great great great grandfather was originally came here. Warren: No, great grandfather. My father, my grandfather, and his father were all about forty years old when the ones in my family were born. My father was, his daddy was about forty when he was born. My daddy was about forty. And your grandfather was about forty. fSo we go back five generations fast. Real easy. Because this great grandfather died in 1879. Shelley: And they all had you think eleven or twelve kids. Warren: Yeah. Shelley: That's a bunch. Yeah, they did that. Warren: In the 1800s, they did. All this- J.J. Hancock was his initial. It came in 1860. His children all turned out, the majority of them, to be politicians. One of them was clerk of the court in Wilcox County. One of them was the sheriff in Irwin County. My grandfather was what we call ordinary. I don't know if you know how the county works here or not. He was the ordinary Turner County. Shelley: Oh, okay. Probate. Warren: And my father was the justice of the peace. A deputy sheriff. Justice of the peace used to be a big thing. And he married a lot of people. They got him as minister of the gospel in the history of Turner County one time and he always got a kick out of there. But anyway, he was a politician from his toes. And all of the boys that my grandfather had worked at one time with other ordinary office over the deputy ordinary. And my father did. Shelley: So it was the preacher that raised all the politicians, is that correct? Warren: Yeah. He was the preacher. That would be my grandfather's great uncle's name.

Title A name given to the resource County Jail Turner County - National Register of Historic Places #82002490 Description An account of the resource From Application: "The Turner County jail was built in 1906 as the newly formed (1905) county's first jail. County records show the first order of business was issuing $60,000 in bonds for a jail and courthouse. The jail was designed by Wagoner & Dobson of Montgomery, Alabama and cost $10,855. Mrs. Netta Shingler has described the last hanging in Turner Count in 1914 as a "once-in-a-lifetime" community event, with Sheriff King, Deputy Sheriff O.B. Jarman, C.H. Bishop, School Superintendent, and J.B. Thrasher, Methodist Minister present. A service was held, two hymns were sung by Mrs. Netta D. Jacobs [Shingler], the Public School Music Teacher, and Mrs. J.J. Story, a former teacher. ("If the prisoner heard us he made no sign but those conducting the service were overcome.") Ashburn, from its charter in 1896, had the nickname of "Holy City" because the merchants held prayer each morning before opening their shops. The Turner County jail has continuously served as a prison since 1907, although it may soon be closed if not significantly altered to meet state fire code and life safety requirements." The bottom floor was the home of the sheriff and the upper floor housed prisoners who committed the pettiest to the most violent of crimes. The jail closed down after 87 years of operation in 1993.

Boylan was replaced by Lt. Hoiton, as compound officer. Changes in buildings and grounds: Great improvement in the grounds, which have been landscaped; tents have small gardens around them. Furniture was built for most of them. A small day-room is now available. The chapel is started and will be finished within a month. Current activities: Movies and gramo-concerts, in the open. The "cultural evenings", led by the German doctor, have now ceased, but may be resumed in a later part of the year. Church services are still poorly attended; a new chaplain, German prisoner of war, was just installed, and may be a helpful element in camp.
