USMA Class of 1893. Cullum No. 3521. He was the son of Edward Julius Timberlake, who was a Colonel in the Confederate Army and Luanna Small Timberlake, a granddaughter of Andrew Jackson. In September 1893, he married to Augusta Wrenne. His second wife was Ruby M.
From a descendant of his brother:
There are a couple of inaccuracies in the memorial. His mother was not Luanna, the name of one of his sisters, but Louisa. Louisa was not the granddaughter of Andrew Jackson, who had no children, but the great-great niece of Andrew Jackson. And his father, also named Edward Julius Timberlake, did serve for a time in the Confederate Army, but it was his uncle, William Poindexter Timberlake, who was an officer under Nathan Bedford Forrest. Though he was a Captain, not a Colonel. The mistakes in this memorial come from an obituary written by his son, but his history was not quite correct.
