Notes for Doctor Floyd Clark Timmons
See http://www.steen-frost.org/Pub/Docs/Timmons_files/1874_Doctor_Timmons.pdf for a profile of Doctor Floyd Clark written by his father William as an appendix to his Life book, itself available at http://www.steen-frost.org/Pub/Docs/Timmons_files/1873_Life_Book.pdf.

==========================

“In his early years {Dr. Floyd Clark] developed remarkable mentality and his educational opportunities were of the very best. He was an honored graduate from Emory College. He taught and served as a pastor for 14 years. Bishop Pierce said of him, "He is the best combination of teacher and pastor that I have ever known." After mature deliberation he determined to give himself wholly to the pastorate and was transferred by Bishop McTyeire to the Texas conference where he rendered service in high stations with conspicuous ability and phenomenal success for 18 years. He was a member of the Ecumenical Conference in London in 1902.

“Under the pressure of excessive labors, his health gave way and he returned to his native Georgia to linger awhile and die. After a hard fight for life, he fell asleep on Sunday morning, August 16, 1908, leaving a wife, three sons, and one daughter. The body of this noble brother rests under the sod and the dew at Monroe, Ga.

-- Thomas Holmes Timmons, “Ancestral Etchings”

============================

In William Timmons’ “Life Book”, Floyd Clark is called “Docton Floyd Clark” (or perhaps “Doctor Floyd Clark”). On the 1850 U.S.census when he was 3 years old, his name is written as “Doctor.”

============================

I believe the youngest son [of William Timmons] was Doctor Floyd Clarke and not Docton. He was named after Doctor Larkin Floyd who delivered him. I have a new copy of the will of William Timmons which is better than the one I got in 1981, and you can tell it was an "r" at the end as it was different than the “n” on Benson Ellison Lane Timmons.
