This Timms became very wealthy as a result of striking oil on his land in Erskine, Alberta. When his daughter Ruth married against his will, he essentially disinherited her (he left her only $5), and left his estate in a trust to establish the Timms Centre at the university of Alberta in Edmonton. Although saddened by her father's decision, Ruth was nonetheless pleased with the fact that Albertans would enjoy the Timms Centre (and the artifacts therein) which would not otherwise have been built..
