Barham, Mrs. Jessie McNabb, John Richard Timberlake and Capt. E.J. Timberlake, Jr., all of whom were with him at the end except Capt.

Howard, and several specialists had been called from Jackson and Nashville during the past two weeks and the constant care and nursing of his wife and children who spared nothing to render him relief and who were devotion itself in their attention to him. In the death of Mr. Timberlake the county loses one of its best and most useful citizens. Always of a progressive spirit he identified himself with every undertaking for the uplift of the community, and he was one man who could always be found on the moral side of every question. He was a faithful and consistent member of the M.E. Church, South, and was buried surrounded by his fellow members and a large gathering of friends at Beech River on Wednesday morning. Mr. Timberlake served one term as Circuit Court Clerk and represented this county in the Legislature at one session [1875-1877]; was a licensed attorney and practiced for awhile in the courts here.
