Howard Melville Hanna, who often went by the nickname Mel, made a fortune from several industries in Cleveland that enabled him to retire at age 45. He and his older brother Marcus Alonzo Hanna began visiting Thomasville, Georgia, in the 1880s with their families. In the 1890s, Mel Hanna began amassing former cotton plantations and turning them into quail plantations. The best known of these was Pebble Hill, which is now a house museum. | Creator: George Mountain Edmondson | Date: 1907 | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph CollectionDownload Original File
