The photographs on the following pages were taken between 1913 and 1924 by
Charles Speer Ansley ( b. 1887) on and around his father's plantation. Tallow
Town was the name of an early pioneer settlement in Sumter County approximately
five miles south of Americus on the Lee Street Road. The roughly 2000 acre
plantation incorporated what little remained of the earlier settlement as well
as a portion of the land once a part of the Speer plantation, the original
family seat.
In addition to the views of Tallow Town, the sizable collection of negatives
and prints produced by my great uncle contains other scenes of life in Americus
and Sumter County during the first part of this century, from pictures of
picnics, swimming holes, and parades to baptisms in Muckalee Creek.
