Fewer people going to trial means, fewer people doing time behind bars, and fewer inmates available to help with trash pickup.
Shortage of inmates causing bulk waste pick-up delays in Columbus By James Giles | May 12, 2021 at 10:23 AM EDT - Updated May 12 at 10:23 AM
COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - The Fountain City is seeing a two week delay waste pickup, according to a presentation Tuesday evening at Columbus City Council.
Deputy City Manager Lisa Goodwin tells News Leader 9 that the shortage of inmates right now is causing about a two week delay in bulk and yard waste pickup for the city. Fewer people going to trial means fewer people doing time behind bars, and fewer inmates available to help with trash pickup. However, the Fountain City has a solution now.
BRYAN COUNTY HISTORY: The Turnbull Cemetery
Bryan County Genealogy Library
In July of 1908, the Washington Post reported that “the man who made his Winchester the law, and scattered graves of horse thieves all along the valley of the Blue and Boggy rivers” had died. That man was Turner Brashears Turnbull and his resting place is now an abandoned cemetery located northeast of Caddo. It’s on the Stuart ranch and contains over a dozen other Turnbull graves. It was surveyed in 1983 by Mary Peters, who also found numerous headstones for the Benton, Houser, and Tigert families, along with others. Her listing can be found in Bryan County Cemeteries, Vol. 3, available from the Bryan County Genealogy Library & Archives in Calera. It was canvassed again in 1984 by Gwen Walker, Joy Blankenship and Mary Armstrong. They located 53 marked headstones. GPS location devices have revealed that more than one hundred people may actually be buried there.
