Tillman, Benjamin R. (Benjamin Ryan), 1847-1918. Benjamin Ryan Tillman Jr. Series. 1885-1950, bulk 1920-1950.

Title: Benjamin Ryan Tillman Jr. Series. 1885-1950, bulk 1920-1950.

This small series contains a variety of personal papers created by Senator Tillman's eldest son, Benjamin Ryan Tillman, Jr., 1878-1950. This material apparently was added to the Tillman Collection at Clemson after Tillman, Jr.'s death. It includes correspondence, papers related to his study of law during the 1920's, his work for the U.S. Department of Justice during the 1930's and 1940's and material related to Tillman's work on a biography of his father. The correspondence is primarily from other family members and concerns the settlement of the Tillman estate and other matters of mutual interest. The material related to the Tillman biography composes about half the series and apparently was created while Tillman resided at Clemson, 1947-1950. There are typewritten drafts, a variety of notes and some recollections by both father and son. The collection also contains a few items related to Francis Butler Simpkins, historian and biographer of Senator Tillman.
