Title A name given to the resource Portrait of John West Evans Description An account of the resource JOHN WEST EVANS (September 27, 1844 – January 16, 1904) Born in Hancock County to Sterling G. and Mary West Evans, John and his wife Ella, followed his business partner/brother-in-law John Samuel “J.S.” Betts (July 29, 1848 – April 25, 1918) and moved to Turner County in 1888 before it was even known as Ashburn or Turner County. John soon established himself as one of Turner County’s most entrepreneurial and civically active citizens. He was a leader in establishing the town as we know it. John was a bookkeeper for the firm and a prominent partner in the J.S. Betts Company which brought a lot of interest to the area with their sawmill. He also had his hand in the Betts-Evans Trading Company and Evans Realty Co. When the first post office was opened in Ashburn, he served as the first postmaster. He was also the Sunday school superintendent of the Methodist Church. “He had the wisdom twenty-five years ago to see that there had come a golden age for the lumber business, and forsook a good position to try his hand in a field of larger opportunity. He built up a great enterprise and made much money, and in doing of this was a chief factor in the building up of one of the best towns of South Georgia, and enabling a large number of men to make an [sic] hundredfold more than he made for himself. Not only did he make two blades of grass grow where one grew before, but he made many blades to grow where none grew before, and served his generation well.” To read more about John West Evans, check out Men of Mark in Georgia Volume 6 (covering the period of 1733-1911), pages 224-226.

Betts was one of Ashburn’s founding fathers, long-time Mayor of Ashburn, and owner of the Betts Lumber Company. It was said that his wife Elmira Josephine Bohannon Betts (May 2, 1858 – September 27, 1907) used to “signal” her sister Ella Bohannon Evans (December 27, 1852 – February 22, 1910) from the widow’s peak on the third story. (Unfortunately, the widow’s peak was damaged in a storm and never repaired). The Evans home was just a few blocks south and was also another three-story Victorian home. The two brothers-in-law were business partners at the lumber company.

Title A name given to the resource Turner County Courthouse - National Registration of Historical Places Application + Photos - #80001247 Description An account of the resource Pages: 4 This red and buff colored courthouse has three entrances. Two are elaborate. They are projecting, Ionic tetrastyle. The cement columns are coupled on each side of a pedimented doorway. The columns are capped by a pediment filled with a design featuring a center cartouche and tendrils. The modillioned cornice and use of quoining on the facade give a bold, direct appearance. The rectangular windows on the first story have lintels in which the key stone and end voussoirs are emphasized. The rectangular second story windows have a flat arch lintel and elaborated sills in which the end stones are emphasized. Small rectangular windows are under the cornice. In the courtroom is a coved pressed metal ceiling which consists of recessed squares with leaf motifs in each corner. Ionic pilasters that echo the exterior columns alternate with the windows. The balcony remains open and has an ornate spindle railing with brackets beneath. It is held up by iron columns of the Corinthian order. The pew like spectator seats are hand grained (see photograph). This fine graining was done in the last eight years by a Mr. Beasley of Turner County, now deceased. According to F. H. Wordlaw, Jr., [Floyd H. Wardlow, Jr.] Turner County Attorney, a mixture of paint and beer was used to create the wood graining. The square bell tower, which rises majestically, is capped with an octagonally domed cupola. The Historical Society of Turner County has used this tower adaptively by exhibiting artifacts, memorabilia, and photographs as one climbs to the top fo the tower. One is literally "inside" the hooded clocks (E. Howard Clock works) which have been electrified. The domed cupola contains a bell with a yoke pulley and rope so it could be run independently for fires, riots, etc. SIGNIFICANCE: The plan of the courthouse is an eclectic one. A highly patterned, bold, red and buff colored structure, it is the most outstanding building in Ashburn, a most unlikely setting for an Italianate clock tower. It depicts the local flavor of politics in 1907 and reveals the taste of the leaders of the community that selected the plan. The hand grained spectator seats in the courtroom are the only ones founds in Georgia.

Title A name given to the resource New County of Turner Presents Her Claims, c. 1905 Subject The topic of the resource Proposes to take small parts of four large counties - other new counties to be heard from. Work of Legislative Committees Description An account of the resource "'Turner' count was the first case on the docket yesterday before the house and senate committees on new counties." ... "Judge Lawton Miller, of Macon, appeared as counsel for those interested in and urging the creation of the new county of 'Turner.' He called attention to the fact that Turner county stands on a different footing from many of the other applicants, in that it proposes to take comparatively small portions from four large counties, namely, Dooly, Wilcox, Irwin and Worth. These four counties contain 2,700 square miles and 92,000 people. Judge Miller presented considerable statistical evidence as to area, taxable property and population, and filed with the committee petitions which, he stated, were signed by more than 90 per cent of the citizens and property owners in the district to be affected, urging that 'Turner' county be created. It was proposed to make Ashburn, in Worth county, the county seat of the new county, as the town is located near the center of the territory of which it is proposed to create the new county."
