Main Street and operated it in conjunction with Piedmont Furniture Company. After several years, Mr. Timberlake was joined in the funeral business by John F. Beck and John D. Craver. His son, Casper H. Timberlake joined the firm in 1925. In 1928, the funeral home was moved to a new building on E. Second Street. Mr. Craver's son, Charles F. Craver joined the firm in 1935. After Edgar Timberlake's death in 1939, Casper Timberlake and Charles Craver would assume operation of the funeral home for more than fifty years.
