From Ohio-The bright, red doors of St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church have beckoned to a Who’s Who of city residents over the years.
City founder James Duncan, influential businessmen J. Walter McClymonds, C.M. Russell and Thomas H. Russell, stage and screen stars Dorothy and Lillian Gish and Congressmen John Warwick and Ralph Regula are among the names woven into the history of the old stone church overlooking the corner of Third Street and Tremont Avenue SE.
In 1991, the church hosted the funeral for legendary Massillon Tiger, college and NFL coach Paul Brown.
The service was standing-room only, according to church member Margy Vogt, a local historian.
“Most of us were on the outside looking in. It was very large. I’m thinking they had a list of people who could go in,” Vogt said.
Founded in 1836, St. Timothy’s, 226 Third St. SE, is preparing to celebrate its 175th anniversary with special services at 8 and 10 a.m. Sunday.
