He was known as "Top" Towns because of his red hair. He was recruited as a professional baseball player around 1910 but didn't go because he had a family. He was still famous in South Georgia in 2000, 25 years after his death, as the best pitcher to ever come from the area. He was married to Eula Belle Windham Towns.
