Sheppard’s Grocery, 1940s, Allenhurst
Darrell Sheppard writes: The old building in Allenhurst was Sheppard’s Grocery. It was built by Troy Allen Sheppard, Sr., after leaving Willie, Georgia, in the 1940s. It had the living quarters in the rear. After his death in 1967 Troy Sheppard, Jr., opened an auto electric repair and operated it until his death in 1991. It now belongs to Darrell Sheppard.

Lanier, Georgia
Located between Pembroke and Ellabell on US 280, Lanier was established in 1893 and a post office operated here until 1955.
One viewer has identified this as the Stubbs turpentine commissary, but I can’t confirm that at this time.
