"D.A. Timberlake
The death of D.A. Timberlake at his home in Huntsville, Ala., on August 22, 1917, removes another from the fast-thinning ranks of gray.  Enlisting in the spring of 1861, he served throughout the war in Law's Brigade, A.N.V., as a member of Company F, 4th Alabama Infantry.  He was in many engagements and at Gettysburg he was wounded, captured and imprisoned; but he was again in active service at the close of the war.
Comrade Timberlake was a man of quiet and unassuming demeanor, of a retiring disposition, but possessing many friends.  He was married to Miss Minnie Duncan of Corinth, Miss., and five daughters survive him."
