==========

Pretty much the only things I knew about the Timmons family [when I was growing up] were that there were a lot of Methodist ministers in the family, that our grandfather did not feel the call and so did not keep on at Emory University, and that an uncle was a minister, but had to give up his calling when his wife divorced him (divorced ministers were not allowed).  It probably was that uncle who had built a wonderful children's playground in his back yard, compete with miniature ferris wheel.  We stopped there en route from Florida after the war.  My five-year-old mind remembers a courtly, kind man.

-- Mary Frost Steen, granddaughter of Thomas Hezekiah’s half-brother Herbet Fletcher Timmons
