_______________

*This store may have been operated briefly by Robert Lee Covington (1899-1994) at the interesection of Melvin Wrenn Road and Old Highway 86 in the "Covington" community of Caswell County. Arthur Swann may have once operated his trucking business there, and the old concrete/stucco building may have been later used by the Yanceyville Explorer Scouts.

**Earlier, there was a larger store at Allison, for which the community was named. It stood near the junction with the Scott King Road.
