William Timson, second son OF
| William Timson and Elizabeth
Brewer Timson, was born just out
side the city limits of st. Adams, in
Hertsford County, England, Dec. 3,
1863. When a boy, William was
confirmed in the Episcopal Cathedral
in the city at ST. Adams. In the
spring of his goth year (18S3) Will
lam came to America. The first
place in this county where he
stopped. for any length of time, was
at his uncle's home in Fitzdale, with
in the limits of the town of Lunen-
burg He went from there to East
farm of Frank Grant for several
years. Later he removed to Little
ton, n. H., where he worked several
years in a glove factory. On May
a, 1888 he was united in marriage
with Sarah r. Bean of Bethlehem,
N. H. The newly married couple
kept house in Littleton for some
time. While there, Mr.. Timson was
naturalized. Two children were
born to the Timson's while living in
Littleton, William Frederick, the eld-
er son, June IA, 1891, and Lawrence
T. r., the younger, Aug. II, 1893.
Later, Mr.. Timson became the first
superintendent of the first green
houses opened in Littleton. In the
spring of 1896 Mr. Timson bought
the old Chester Thomas place on
Baptist Hill, in the town of Lunen-
burg, near the Thompson place which
he had owned for some time and
moved to the place with his family.
While living on the Thompson place
a daughter, Fannie Marietta was
born, Feb. II, 1898, but she died in
infancy. In the spring of 1913, Mr..
Timson purchased the Allen Smith
place making him in all an estate of
about 400 acres. In 1905 Mr.. Tim
son suffered a partial shock and
from that time was never in good
health. The family rented the farm
and spent the winter of 19O9-191O
in Nebraska. The climate, however,
did not agree with Mr.. Timson' S
health for while there he suffered
another relapse. They returned to
Lunenburg in the spring OF 1910.
From that time until this Mr.. Tim
sons health has been gradually wear
ing out. A complication of diseases
set in and at last cancer of the liver
combined with heart failure, caused
his death. His health failed rap
idly from the early part of the spring
of 1915. He was a member of the
Church of England. Mr.. Timson
was lovingly and tenderly cared for
during his sickness by his attentive
wife and willing sons. Mr.. Timson
passed away about 8 o'clock Tues
day morning, May IS. His death
bed was surrounded by his imme-
diate family, who had truly proven
their love while he yet lived. Inter
ment was in the Baptist Hill ceme-
terry, near the homestead, where he
sleeps by the side of his infant
daughter.
