Abstract:
The early fathers of Ansonville were for the most part staunch Methodists, and while they were willing to send their sons out into the wide world to be educated, they preferred to keep their daughters closer to home. Accordingly, they organized the Carolina Female College. The institution was chartered and given authority to grant diplomas in 1850.
