JACKSON HERALD, Fri, Jun 26, 1970:
Mrs. Candace Yerian Timlin of Hubbardston, Michigan died on Sunday evening, May 23rd, 1970 in New Horizons Nursing Home, Springfield, Ohio at the age of 107 years, 4 months and 19 days. She had been a resident of the Home since the latter part of 1960.
Mrs. Timlin was born on a farm in Liberty Township, Jackson County Ohio on December 14, 1862. She was the third child in a family of 6 children born to William F. Yerian and Miriam Harvey Yerian. Her sisters and brothers were: Effie, Iva, Frank, Joe and Ed. She attended Coen school which was a one room elementary school.
She came from a family of patriots. Her father was a Civil War veteran, her maternal grandfather, Gideon Harvy, was a veteran of the War of 1812, and her paternal great-great-grandfather, Frederick Yerian was a veteran of the Revolutionary War.
She had the God-given privilege of attaining the greatest age of anyone in her family for whom there is any family record. She was the last living member of her family.
During her long and useful life, four presidents of these United States were assassinated, namely, Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley and John F. Kennedy.
She was born in the horse and buggy days and lived to see many changes in our mode of transportation, the latest of which is jet planes. She also lived to see the landing on the moon of the American Astronauts. It is not given to many people to pass the century mark in age.
In young woman hood, she suffered severely from asthma and was sent to Boulder County, Colorado by her parents to gain relief. Two brothers had preceded her there.
She recovered her health and there met Bernard J. Timlin of Hubbardston, Michigan who became her husband in Eldora, Colorado on December 20, 1898. At the time of their marriage, Mr. Timlin was foreman in "The Village Belle" Gold Mine in Eldora.
They lived in several mining towns and in Boulder, Colorado until 1915 when they returned to Mr. Timlin's home town, Hubbardston, Michigan, which became their home thereafter.
Mr. Timlin died in January 1941 in Hubbardston from the effects of an auto accident a few days before.
Mrs. Timlin continued to live alone in Hubbardston after her husband's death. But in May 1962 she fell on her dining room floor and broke a vertebra in her neck.
After being confined in a small hospital near her home for sometime, she was moved to a hospital in Springfield, Ohio, to be near relatives as she had no family of her own.
Altho she was nearing the 100 mark, her broken neck healed completely and she was transferred to New Horizons Nursing Home in Springfield, where she spent the remainder of her life. As late as two weeks before her passing, she was able to sit in a chair and feed herself. Her intellect had remained keen until a year or two before her death. On her 106th birthday, surrounded by relatives, she sang a hymn, quoted the 23rd Psalm verbatim and offered a beautiful prayer, then asked all to join her in praying, "Our Lord's Prayer".
On two occasions she received birthday greetings from Governor James Rhodes, of Ohio, and once a greeting from President Lyndon B. Johnson.
In younger years her hobbies were photography, gardening, and needlework, at which she was very skilled. She was a faithful church worker and attended her church until she suffered the broken neck at age ninety-nine and one-half years.
She passed away quietly of natural causes. Her body was returned to her home in Hubbardston, Michigan where last of which she and her husband were members. Burial followed in St. John The Baptist Cemetery nearby on May 6, 1970.
She is survived by 13 nieces and nephews, as follows: Bertram Keeton, 92, Gearhart, Oregon, son of her sister Effie Keeton; Ida H. Friend, Wellston, Ohio; Joe Harper and Lesta Coty both of Rockford Illinois, children of her sister Iva C. Harper; Percy Yerian, Bell, California; Eileen (Babe) McDavitt, San Bernadino, California and June Eubanks, Tarpon Springs, Florida, children of her brother, Frank Yerian; Betty Schuck, Springfield, Ohio; Mabel Rowland, Ada Swan, Maxine Yerian of Columbus, Ohio; Anna Dulaney, Jackson, Ohio and Warren Yerian, Troy, Ohio, children of her brother Ed Yerian.
She also leaves 33 great nieces and great nephews and several great-great nieces and nephews.
