Son of Sarah Clapp and Dr Henry Halsey Childs of Massachusetts. Timothy Childs, MD, of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, married Mary E Huntington of Norwich, daughter of Thomas N Huntington, on July 30, 1852, in Norwich, Connecticut. (The Hartford Times, Connecticut, August 7, 1852.)
"CLASS OF 1841.—Timothy Childs died suddenly at Norwich, Conn., Sept. 3d, 1865, aged forty-two years and nine months. Dr. Childs was born in Pittsfield on the first day of December, 1822. He was descended from a race of physicians. His father was the venerable and distinguished Dr. Henry H. Childs, a graduate of the Class of 1802, and his grandfather was the late Dr. Timothy Childs, also an eminent physician and an honored citizen.
"In college Dr. Childs was a good student, was popular with his Class, and was greatly beloved by his more intimate associates. At graduation he received the second honor, delivering the Salutatory.
"After leaving Williams he studied medicine and received his degree of M.D. from the Berkshire Medical College in 1844. He immediately entered upon the practice of his profession in Pittsfield, where he continued to reside until his removal three years before his death to the City of New York. In the mean time he visited Paris to avail himself of the advantages of the French Medical Schools. During the war with Mexico he was Surgeon of a Massachusetts Regiment.
"Dr. Childs was early appointed Professor of Anatomy and subsequently of Surgery in the Berkshire Medical College. He also held the same position for several years in Bowdoin College, Maine, and three or four years since he was called to the important position of Professor of Anatomy in the Bellevue Medical College of New York, one of the most eminent medical institutions in the country.
"These several positions he filled with marked ability and distinction. He was also during all this period engaged in the active practice of his profession,—and to it he devoted with loving zeal, and with eminent success, all the energies of a thoroughly accomplished mind. He possessed a singularly clear and accurate intellect, a sweet and genial temper, and simple but most winning manners." (Calvin Durfee, Williams Obituary Report, 1865–1875, North Adams, Massachusetts: James T Robinson & Son, 1875, p. 36.)
On October 18, 1865, Dr. E. R. Peaslee offered resolutions, which were adopted, to the New York Academy of Medicine: "Whereas, In a sudden and appalling manner we have been bereft of a distinguished Fellow of the Academy, and towards whom, though but for a short time associated with us, we had already cherished feelings of high regard and esteem: Therefore Resolved—1. That by the death of Dr. Timothy Childs, we lose a member who possessed in a peculiar degree those moral qualities and intellectual abilities which adorn our profession, insure usefulness, and command respect.
"2. That during his brief fellowship with us, we had appreciated his simplicity of character, his gentle and gentlemanly deportment, his frank and generous companionship, his untiring devotion to those under his professional care, and his fidelity and energy in the performance of whatever duties fell to his lot.
"3. That we extend our sympathy to the afflicted wife, and to him whose honored name our late associate bore, and who has been called so suddenly to resign the hope, solace, and support of his advanced age...."
(Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 2:499.)
His father, Dr. Henry H. Childs, died in Boston on March 22, 1868. "He never recovered from the sudden death of his son, which was a great shock to him." Timothy had two sisters, Kate, who married Thomas Huntington, and died young, leaving one son, Thomas Huntington. Dr. Timothy Child's widow raised this child. The other sister was Annie, who married Elias Merwin. ("History of Starling Medical College, The "Old Northwest" Genealogical Quarterly, 1905, VIII:127.)
Timothy's wife, Mary Elizabeth Huntington, died in Florence, Italy, on January 7, 1910.
