WILLIAM F. TIMM,
VETERAN BALL PLAYER, DEAD
Reached the Age of 63 Years. Remains
Will be Laid to Rest Today (Thursday)
W. F. (Billy) Timm, businessman and veteran ball player, a resident of Arlington for the past 40 years and diamond star for a quarter of a century, passed away at his home in this city Monday morning at 7:55 o'clock. Mr. Timm had been ailing with heart and liver complications since last October, but was able to be up and around for some time previous to his death. Although the end came quite suddenly, Mr. Timm passed into the arms of His Maker with the same peacefullness that characterized his every day life. His death brought to an end a long period of suspense and suffering which he bore with great patience and fortitude.
The demise of Billy Timm removed from our midst one whose name was synonymous with baseball in this community for more than 25 years. He is not only held in high regard by friends and fans in this community, but the news of his death will bring pain and memories of hard fought ball games of the past to thousands of old time fans throughout this part of the state. During the many years that he played the game, both as an amateur and semi-professional, Mr. Timm became widely known not only for his ability but also because of his splendid personality and the spirit of fairness and true sportsmanship which he displayed at all times.
William Fred Timm reached the age of 63 years on February 23 this year. His wife preceded him in death several years ago, and he is survived by nine children, several brothers and sisters.
The funeral will be held today (Thursday) with services at the family home at 1:30 p.m., followed by services at St. Paul's Lutheran church and interment in the cemetery of that congregation.
A complete obituary will be published in the next issue of The Enterprise.

WILLIAM TIMM LAID TO REST LAST THURSDAY
Many Friends and Old Acquaintances
From a Distance Attend the Last Rites.
William F. Timm, whose death on May 8th, was recorded in last week's issue of The Enterprise, was born in Le Sueur county on February 23, 1870. His parents were pioneer farmers and they made their home in that community until William was six years old, then moved to this county and took up their residence on a farm near New Rome. He grew to young manhood here and in 1897 was married to Miss Susie Fossum. Shortly after their marriage they came to Arlington to reside, and this has been the family home ever since.
Mr. Timm established himself in business here in 1898 as a member of the firm Timm & Hensler. This partnership was dissolved in 1917 with the retirement of Mr. Hensler. Mr. Timm continued the business until recently when it was turned over to his son, Leslie.
The death of Mrs. Timm in 1923 brought to a close a period of 26 years of happy married life for the couple, curing which time they were blessed with a family of nine children, six daughters and three sons, namely: Mrs. Ray Barry (Viola) of Waseca; Mrs. Wallace Withrow (Grace) and Mrs. Leonard Holmberg (Eleanora) of Minneapolis; Mrs. E. Engstrom (Clara) of Young America; Mrs. Ben Lichttenegger (Helen) of Little Falls; LeRoy of New York City, and Miss Edna, Franklyn and Leslie at home. Deceased is also survived by three sisters and three brothers as follows: Mrs. Wm. Kurtzweg, Mrs. Frank Reidler, Albert, Charles and Herman, all of this community, and Mrs. Bertha Wigand of Dickinson, N.Dak.
As stated in last week's issue of The Enterprise, Mr. Timm made a reputation thruout [sic.] this section of the state as a baseball player. He started his career with the old Henderson Blacks in the late 90's as a pitcher. He also played with Gaylord before his marriage. As a player he was at his best during the period extending from about 1900 to 1915. He was considered by many to be the best catcher in the state outside of the professional ranks and his services were sought at various times by clubs in the American Association. He always declined these offers, however, because of his ardent devotion to his family and his desire to be with them continually.
The funeral was held Thursday afternoon with services at the family home at 1:30 o'clock, followed by services at St. Paul's Lutheran church and interment in the cemetery of that congregation. Rev. R. Heidmann officiated. The pall bearers were: Messers. Bart Hunt, Bart Lichttenegger, A. W. Luff, Wm. Duehlmeier, Jr., Ben Meyer and Edwin Goetsch. The Arlington fire department, of which the deceased was a member for 35 years, attended the last rites in a body. Members of the Henderson fire department also took part in the funeral procession. The large attendance and the beautiful floral offerings were a tribute that spoke louder than words of the popularity of the deceased and the esteem in which he was held by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances.
May his soul rest in peace.
Besides the immediate members of the family, the following relatives from a distance attended the funeral: Theo. Fossum, Otto Fossum, Mrs. H. Sunderman, Mrs. Alfred Bergh, Gladys Fossum, all of Waukon, Iowa; The Wm. Kohls family of St. Paul; Mrs. J. Boland, Harry Timm, Ray Timm, Mrs. J. Falkanger, Mrs. L. Hartshorn and Delores Timm, of Minneapolis.
