She was the seventh child in a family of eight children and leaves to mourn her losss her aged parents Ezra Q and Susan M Timmms; four brothers and three sisters, and a devoted husband, her death being the first break in the family circle in more than 50 years. She spent her childhood days on the farm playing among the flowers and trees, God's own playground, which she so dearly loved in later years. She was educated in the public schools of her own county and entered her high school work under the principal who afterward became her husband. Completing her high school course she entered a sucesful career as a teacher, which she supplemented with a commercial course in the Mountain State Business College at Parkersburg, West Virginia, after which she became associated with the Central Newspaper Association in Cinncinnati Ohio as a bookkeeper. This position she held at the time of her marriage to Milton S Cos of Los Angeles California, which occurd on April 24, 1913 at the Central Christian Church in her home city. After becoming a resident of Los Angeles, she transferred her membership from Bethel Christian Church at her old home to Broadway Christian church, where she was active member in church and Sunday school wrok until ill health compelled her to resign from active service. A very beautiful and impressive service was held at Vesper's Undertakering Parlors at 1938 East First Street on June 19, under the auspices of the Broadway Church , her pastor Charles F Hutsler, delivered and eloquent address and paid a beautiful tribute to her home life, and splendid Christian character, pointing out in his logical way the relationship, the security, the guidance and the joy of being with and having Christ as one's Good Shepherd and assuring the bereaved husband in the words of Christ, " I will not leave you desolate" after which he recited an original poem of consolation: "And some time when my day is ended And the duties He gave me are done I shall watch at Life's western windows The gleam of the setting sun. I shall fall asleep in the twilight, As I have never dreamed before, To dream of this beautiful city Till I waken to sleep no more: There will fall on my restless spirit A love, oh so wondrously sweet, And I shall cross over the river My loved one in Heaven to meet." Following this touching ceremony the remains were removed from under a wealth of floral offerings to Evergreen Cemetery."
