HUSBAND NOTES: When the Atlantic, Valdosta, and Western Railroad was constructed from Jacksonville, Florida to Valdosta in 1896 it entered Lowndes County, near the south eastern corner running north-west into Valdosta. At a point about 8 miles below Valdosta and 4 miles south of Naylor a small station on this road was named for Mr. J.N. Blanton, who owned a large portion of land in that section. This was a voting precinct, and an old primitive church is also there. Settling around here were Tom Blanton, Sam Lightsey, and others. The Obituary of June Roy Blanton appeared in the Valdosta Times on Tuesday April 6, 1976, page 2.
