Notes:

Charles was born the oldest of 2 children to Salathiel and Lydia Timmons
just the year before his father went off to fight in the Civil War. His
father came home when he was 4 or 5 years old. Charles and his parents,
along with his younger sister Effie moved to Boone, Iowa in 1881, and in
1890 moved to a farm 2 miles north and 1/2 mile west of Malvern, Iowa.
The 1880 Census shows Salathiel and Lydia, 45 and 40, live with their
children Charles F. 19 and Effie N. in Humbolt Township in Illinois.
Effie was 12. On their farm they had an apple orchard and raised
chickens.

After marrying Emily Bass, they lived for a short time southwest of
Malvern, then moved to a farm northwest of Red Oak, then to a farm
southwest of Pacific Junction, Iowa. In 1907 they sold this farm and
bought a farm south of Ashland, Ne. They sold that farm in 1915 and moved
to Valley, NE with their 6 children, and lived on a farm 1 1/2 miles north
of town, where Charles continued farming until his death.

Notes:

Salathiel and Lydia were married in 1859, and the following year moved to Illinois (1860), and apparently lived is Coles County. Salathiel was one of 10 brothers and 2 sisters. He is known to have lived in Ashmore Township both before and after the Civil War. They owned their farm. A brother Isaac lived with Salathiel and his family for a time after the war.



On August 1, 1862 (He was a married man) Salathiel, Laban, Leroy and Battle H. Timmons all from Hutton township of Coles, County, entered the Civil War as Union soldiers. Their date of muster was September 6, 1862. He left his wife and baby son (Charles) behind. He was in the 123rd Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company A for 3 years. He was honorably discharged in 1865, at Maltoon, Illinois. While in the war he was in the skirmish on Stone Hill (Feb. 14, 1863), Pierce Hill Canesoth, Milton, Tennessee; and the Battle of Chaplin Hill. He had marched 1,191 miles.



His grandson Ellis Graves of Malvern, Iowa, has his discharge papers. While in the army, Salathiel suffered a severe attack of typhoid fever, "losing for a time the power of speech", and may never have recovered his full strength.



THE STORY OF SALATHIEL TIMMONS' NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE, by Glenn Timmons

"My father (Charles Franklin Timmons) told the story many times about his father (Salathiel Timmons) being ill and left for dead when his unit went into battle. In his unconscious state, he dreamt that he was marching into battle with many soldiers and he saw the flashing of guns and decided he did not want to go on and he dropped out of line. He then woke up to see his brother over him. He had come back to claim his body." He also mentioned that his grandfather experienced the sensation of being pulled through a "dark place" or "tunnel" and seeing a light.



Salathiel and Lydia and their children moved to Boone, Iowa after the war,t hen about 1890 they moved to a farm 2 miles north and 1/2 mile west of Malvern, Iowa where they had an apple orchard and raised chickens. They later moved to Malvern. According to Salathiel's obituary (Mills County Tribune, May 14, 1909) he died in Malvern on May 3, 1909 at the age of 74. He had moved to Boone County, Iowa in 1881, to Mills County in 1888, and into the town of Malvern in 1904. The obituary adds: Mr. Timmons was converted to the religious life in Boone County in 1882 and united with the Methodist Church. His conversion was clear and decisive, and he has always been counted a consistent, earnest and faithful Christian man.



Salathiel suffered a "stroke of paralysis" in 1902, another on April 24, 1909, and the third, which proved to be fatal, on May 3, 1909.
