Individual Details

Lillian Irene Timms

(8 Feb 1903 - 1 May 1993)



Lillian's Social Security Application/Claim indicates she was born 8 Feb 1903, Oklahoma City and died 1 May 1993. Her parents were Harold Timms and Marie Johnson. In 1944, apparently when she applied - her name was Lillian Timms Christensen, later Lillian Salmon.
Another application, 17 Nov 1972, with the same date of birth, born Oklahoma City, and date of death, states her father as J. F. Osborne; mother as Mary M. Johnson. Strange. I suspect Osborne was her stepfather.
