This is one of my favorite old country stores in this part of Georgia, and I’ve been trying to find out something about it for three years. Thanks to Bobby Akins, and Brenda Justice, I now have an identification.

According to Hoyt Pittman, this is the second structure to house this congregation. The first was on Georgia Highway 147. Hoyt also notes that there was a small community and post office which made up the community of English Eddy proper, on Old River Road. It was named for a feature of the nearby Altamaha River.

The gate enclosing this small family cemetery is ornamented with several of these metal finials, representing what looks to be a spaniel of some variety. A marker notes that the cemetery was established in 1906 on land given by Confederate veteran James B. Cave and his son Johnny B. Cave. Levy M. Cave placed the marker in 1969 in memory of his wife, Wilma Lentile Cave.

This old country store is located on a what looks to be a busy farm in the crossroads community of New Branch. I imagine it was once a busy place, full of local farmers and their families.

It’s so rare to find an old country store like this today. This one even had gas pumps and Sunbeam bread signs and seemed to be very busy.

It’s sad to see this great old Craftsman style cottage in such disrepair. The old tour bus in the image below looks to be from the late 1960s or early 1970s.
