Notes:

Retired and decorated U.S. Air Force Technical Sgt. Lawrence C. Timbs died Wednesday, January 25, 2012, at Life Care Center of Elizabethton. Author of two books, "Mountain Memories" (1968) and "Tragedy at Old Fish Springs" (1981), Mr. Timbs was 90 years old. He was a World War II and Korean War veteran, having served in the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force.

One of 15 children, born in Fish Springs, Tenn., to Avery and Roberta Williams Timbs, Mr. Timbs retired from the military in October 1962, after serving in Virginia; the Mohave Desert in California; the island of Kauai in Hawaii; in the jungles of New Guinea; on the island of Moratai in the Pacific; and on the island of Luzon in the Philippines.

Mr. Timbs also saw duty at Seward Air Force Base, near Smyrna, Tenn.; Korea during the Korean Conflict; Eglin Field, near Niceville, Fla.; Austin, Texas; Nagoya, Japan; McGhee-Tyson Air Force Base, near Maryville, Tenn.; and at Ent Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo.

In the Air Force, he was a recruiter, an historian, reporter and newspaper editor, covering some of the early NASA rocket launches and leading a publication focusing on the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) and the Air Force's Space Command. The Skyline Observer, a newspaper he edited in Colorado Springs, won a number of prizes and honors for its outstanding journalism.

Mr. Timbs, who, as a boy, had hoed corn on a rough, steep Tennessee hillside for 10 cents an hour, and retired from the military with a chest full of medals and decorations, including: the Army Commendation Ribbon, Distinguished Unit Citation, Air Force Unit Award, Good Conduct Medal, American Defense Service Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Ribbon with three Bronze Service Stars, World War II Victory Medal, Army of Occupation Medal (Japan), National Defense Service Medal, Korean Service Medal with five Bronze Service Stars, Air Force Longevity Service Award with four Bronze Oakleaf Clusters, Philippine Liberation Medal, Philippine Presidential Citation, United States Presidential Citation and the Republic of Korea Presidential Citation.

Upon completing his career in the Air Force, Mr. Timbs returned to East Tennessee and worked as a park ranger/naturalist in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park at the Visitor's Center near Gatlinburg. He also gave expert presentations and led hikes through the mountains at Cades Cove. He knew the English and Latin name for almost every species of flower, tree and animal in the Smokies.

Leaving East Tennessee in late 1967, Mr. Timbs and his family moved to Newport News, Va., where he was employed for almost a year in the world's largest dry-dock shipyard. He helped build the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy.

Mr. Timbs next worked for the City of Newport News Park as a ranger and naturalist. He retired from that job after 14 years, and he and his wife, Dixie Nadine Jenkins Timbs, moved back to his wife's parents' old home place in Valley Forge between Hampton and Elizabethton. He became a faithful member of the Valley Forge Christian Church, where he served as teacher, Sunday School superintendent, and as president of the Men's Bible Class. He also served as treasurer, vice-president and president of the Carter County Men's Christian Fellowship. He had been an Election Day worker at the Valley Forge Elementary voting place.

Mr. Timbs loved the outdoors, cherished a good story, loved his wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and reminisced frequently about what it was like to grow up in hardscrabble Fish Springs in such a large family. Money was scarce but the Timbs clan always had a few pigs, chickens and a milk cow so no one went hungry, Mr. Timbs recalled. All the Timbs children, he said, always seemed to get an apple or an orange or a piece of stick candy for Christmas. When he enlisted in the military, he didn't' forget where he came from — sending a portion of his monthly $21 paycheck back home to Fish Springs to help his parents and siblings.

In his later years, Mr. Timbs enjoyed gardening, reading, porch sitting, talking politics and eating delicious Sunday lunches prepared by his wife for him and his family and friends.

His two books, "Mountain Memories" and "Tragedy at Old Fish Springs," chronicle what life was like late in the 19th Century and early in the 20th Century in and near Fish Springs. The latter book has been rewritten by his son, Larry C. Timbs Jr., and by Hampton, Tenn., resident Michael Manuel. Timbs and Manuel are seeking to have the book published under the title "Below the Surface: Voices From the Graves at Fish Springs, Tenn."

Mr. Timbs was born February 2, 1921, and was preceded in death by his parents, Avery and Roberta Williams Timbs; by his brothers, Worley, Glen, Carl, Billy Robert and Charlie Timbs; and by his sister, Jonnie Harrison.

Survivors are his wife, Dixie Nadine Jenkins Timbs; son, Larry Timbs Jr. and wife, Patsy Robinson Timbs; daughter, Cheryl Timbs and fiancé, Crawford Alexander; son, Edward Timbs; grandsons, Hugh Anderson and Josh Anderson and wife Debra; grandson, Zach Anderson; grandson, Crawford Timbs III; grandsons, Justin Timbs and Jessie Timbs; granddaughters, Sharyn Calcavecchio, Dorothy Yeung and husband, Patrick Yeung, Elizabeth Roberta Timbs and Jamie Timbs McQueen and husband, Jason McQueen.

Also surviving are great-grandchildren, Antonina, Gabriella, Angelo, and Giancarlo Calcavecchio, Lucy Brooke and Cecilia Clare Yeung, Dylan, Keelan Nadine and Brennyn Avery Anderson, Mason McQueen, Joselyn Timbs and Lane Timbs.

Notes:

ELIZABETHTON — Carmon E. Dugger, Sr., age 86, of Elizabethton, died peacefully at his home on Thursday, March 24, 2016.

He was born July 17, 1929, to E.F. and Maude Murray Dugger.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers, John Dugger and Ray Dugger; five sisters, Mamie Seaton, Nelle Thomason, Erma Dykes, Viola Phillips, and June Owens; two grandchildren, Kimberly Harper and Curtis James Dugger; and several nieces and nephews.

He attended schools at Southside and Elizabethton City, joined the Marines in 1948 and served in Japan and Hawaii during the Korean War. He played baseball for the Marines and broke several pitching and hitting records.

After his discharge, he signed with the St. Louis Cardinals, playing AA Ball. Later, he played in independent leagues. He worked at various jobs while playing ball, including floor sanding, selling life insurance and cemetery lots. In 1966, he was named the first Parks & Recreation Director for the City of Elizabethton. He began his program in the old Lynn Avenue School, beginning with recreation parks, ball parks, tennis courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, horseshoes, basketball programs, volleyball and square dancing.

He renovated a farm house at 201 Perry Street into the first Senior Citizens Center, converted the National Guard Armory into the City Recreation Center, and all the work was done by his parks and recreation staff. He built the linear park beginning at Black Bottom, running along Watauga River to Harmon Field. He worked long hours, doing all paperwork and planning, manual labor, carpentry work, maintaining and improving the recreational facilities. He loved his work crew and the many students who worked during the summer on the work program.

He enjoyed hunting and fishing as well as being an avid golfer. He set up golf tournaments for Elizabethton Municipal Golf Course and began the Buck Van Huss and Charlie Bayless annual tournaments, winning many of them. He was noted for his use of the 7 iron. He was instrumental in bringing the Minnesota Twins to Elizabethton and made the agreement with just a handshake. He and his crew constructed the field, built the dugouts, and the stadium.

After retirement, he bought and remodeled a home in Seville, Florida, where he had a small orange grove. He loved to bring fruit back and give it away. He was a caring and giving man, who especially loved children.

His wish is, in lieu of flowers, to support a charity, that provides care for needy children; or a trust fund is established for his special great-grandson, Ashton James Dugger at Elizabethton Federal Savings Bank.
