FIRE LIABILITY Paul O. Landry V T. Johnson I9 Main Sfrttt Ph. TO 2-2526 AUTO PROPERTY Ity Rl'TH KING Honor came last week to the Rev. Caroline Marie Timiv.s who has spent most ot her lifetime, much of it in Klamath Falls, min istering to humanity, spiritually and physically. Her name has been submitted by the United Church Women ot Klamath rails in competition in this state for Oregon Mother of the Year. The honor in 1959 went to Mrs. Harlan P. Bosworth of Medford. The Rev. Mrs. Timms is nearing 85 years and continues as pastor of the Gospel Mission of the United Holy Church of America where a two-week's evangelistic cllort has just been concluded. She is in the pulpit for every church service and her home is a mecca for those of her congregation who need counseling. She lives at 217 Klamath Ave nue, surrounded by photographs of her family, cherished mementoes, and friends. She modestly disclaims accom plishment that would have earned her statewide recognition, but her long ministry which began more than half a century ago, and her aid to her family under difficult circumstances, is probably n o t equaled in Southern Oregon or perhaps in all the state. The history of her work dates back to the time she left her Tennessee birthplace, still shad owed by the Civil War, to establish the first social center for colored people in Chicago. Her grandfath er and her father, who later en tered the ministry had been slaves. The young woman who later was to come to Klamath Falls to help establish the first church for col ored people here, carried the story of Christianity into the saloons of Chicago. She adopted a small boy, the son of a sister, and turned Westward to join the man she was to marry, the Rev. William E. B.. Timms. They were married the day after she arrived by boat up the river on December 19, 1908. She too had been ordained in Chicago and together the two Rev erend Timmses established t h e Union Gospel Mission, an indepen dent church. Her husband was a graduate of the Theological School of Tuskegee University, founded by the late Booker T. Washington and had pastored a church in West Point, Mississippi. Following his death in 1929, she carried on alone, buffeted by the depression years and the struggle to clothe, feed and educate her growing family of eight, including adopted Clarence. Four of the chil dren are still living. During the lean years when mon ey was hard to get, Mrs. Timms said this week, "Wc had been try ing to buy some lots to build a church. -There was still a $200 in debtedness, owed to the cily, and the children and I often didn't eat to save grocery money to pay on the lots." Then highway construction crossed these. lots and a payment of $1,740.40 was paid by the state highway department in reimburse ment (or the land. Other lots were bought and with $800 in the build ing fund, a sanctuary for worship was put up. As her family grew through ear ly school years, each one set up a goal for higher education, encour aged by their mother, who "helped when I could." They went away to other cities, worked and saved. One went into the armed serv ices. Others continued to study to realize their goals. 1 THE REV. CAROLINE MARIE TIMMS Oregon Weather By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 24 hours to 4:30 a.m. Tuesday Max. Min.
