Gospel preacher and co-founder of Nashville Bible School.
"J. A. Harding, in speaking of the beginning of the Nashville Bible School, wrote: 'W. H. Timmons, David Lipscomb and myself founded the Nashville Bible School.' I have given these facts to show that Timmons was not a member of Vine Street Christian Church and that he did not sympathize with the societies. It seems that Timmons is a forgotten man so far as having any part in establishing the Bible school. I feel that his name should be restored to its proper position in connection with the school, and that those in authority should see that it is done." --C.E.W. Dorris, Gospel Advocate, Oct. 28, 1964, 854.
Brother W. H. Timmons died at his home in this city, a few minutes after noon, Friday, February 17, 1911, in the sixty-eighth year of his age. He embraced the gospel in his youth and started on the Christian life. He never grew tired of the Christian life, and never at any time manifested the least disposition to turn away from the narrow way that leads to the eternal city. He was regular in his attendance at the meetings on the first day of the week to worship the Lord as the word of God directs; and while engaged actively in several different branches of business, first one and then another, he never slackened his zeal in the cause of Christ. When the Fanning Orphan School was built up, he gave a helping hand in that; when the Nashville Bible School was on the way, he also assisted in that; and when congregations were to be started, he was ready to assist in that work. In the midst of his other pursuits he added preaching, and assisted in that way in helping to start and to build up some of the congregations in and around Nashville. He was married to Miss Mary Jones in 1875. He leaves a widow, three sons, and two daughters, to mourn the loss of an affectionate husband and father, and many relatives and friends to mourn the loss of a good man. He had also started out to publish a religious magazine and had published one number. He had been in failing health for some time; but the end finally came sooner than his friends were expecting it. Thus an earnest and useful life has passed on to the shores beyond. But his family and friends weep not as those who have no hope; and if they, too, will serve the Lord in earnestness and devotion of heart, they may meet him where sad bereavements will never again come, and where happy associations will never again be broken by death. ---Gospel Advocate, March 2, 1911, page 273.
