Road Commission to purchase more LED stop signs
The Daily Reporter
Recently installed LED stop signs at four Branch County intersections received enough praise for the added safety factor, the Branch County Road Commission authorized spending $14,000 to purchase five more.
The first one went up two weeks ago at Fremont and Copeland roads. Three more sets of two were installed at Union City Road and River Road, Block and Central roads, then at Central and Centennial roads.
All four locations are sites of major serious crashes. All are locations where cross-traffic on county primary roads do not stop. All are locations where there have been serious crashes from vehicles failing to stop.

Melvin Jones
PROSPECT – Melvin Jones was forged in love and born to Clay and Ola Jones (née Hampton) on May 23, 1941 in Columbia, S.C. As a young boy, Melvin had a penchant for math and loved his girls (mom Ola and sisters Annette and Caroline, all deceased).
As a devoted brother, he made sure his sisters had every opportunity to pursue their dreams before reaching his own. On June 9, 1967, he would join in a partnership of 53 years with Joyce Kennedy from Spartanburg, S.C., and later give birth to their only daughter, aptly named Melva, after her father. Melvin always wanted a girl.
