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.
