Relict of Capt William Henry Timrod of Charleston (son of German immigrant Heinrich Dimroth), officer in the Seminole Wars and a poet, died from tuberculosis on July 28, 1838, in Charleston, at the age of 44, leaving behind his wife of 25 years, Thyrza Prince Timrod, and their four children.
Thryza Prince of whom her daughter wrote "It was from her, more than his gifted father, that my brother derived that intense, passionate love of Nature which so distinguished him. Its sight and sound always afforded her extreme delight...a walk in the woods to her was food and drink, and the sight of a green field was joy inexpressible...I can remember her love for flowers and trees and for the stars; how she would call our attention to the glintings of sunshine through the leaves; to the afternoon's lights and shadows, as they slept quietly, side by side; and even to a streak of moonlight on the floor."
Children of Thyrza and William Henry Timrod:
Rebecca Adeline Timrod, died June 9, 1865, age 43.
Edith Timrod Crotchett, died Oct 3, 1865.
