Danville once rivaled Americus in Sumter County life
Captain C. T. Furlow recalls Danville as Sumter County’s rival to Americus, thriving around 1850 with 300 to 400 residents, aided by the Magnolia river steamer and early brick building. The town declined after the railroad favored Americus, leaving no brick houses and scattered landmarks by today. A water rate dispute, unclaimed letters, and local notes on lawn tennis and a controversial marriage appear in the same issue.
