    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.
