Photograph of William J. "Wee" Timbers and his younger brother, Jett "Elmer" Timbers. They were the sons of William B. and Sarah Evelyn (Bibbs) Timbers, and grew up in Woodstock. William "Wee" Butler never married and spent his career working as a hotel waiter. In 1950, he worked and lived at The Homestead Hotel, a resort in Hot Springs, Virginia. He lived a long life and when he died, his residence was on High Street in Woodstock, the same street where his sister, Fannie, had raised her family. Jett "Elmer" Timbers did not stay in Woodstock. When he registered for the WWI draft in 1918, he lived in Washington D.C. and worked at "Camp Humphreys", now known as Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. Later that year, he married Saffena Beatrice Lacy (1898-1992) in Allegheny County, Virginia, where his occupation was “waiter”. While his wife appeared living back with her parents in Botetourt County in the 1920 and 1930 censuses, old phone books from 1922 and 1925 mention Elmer Timbers as being a “Barber” living on 7th Street, N.W. Washington D.C. The couple had two children, Sarah and Charles. By the time Elmer registered for the WWII draft in 1942, he was listed as self-employed in Boyce, Virginia. He died shortly after.
