By Bev Garber

November 20, 1947 — The new Garber Mobile Center was set to open on the Broadway-Timberville road south of Timberville. W.B. “Bill” Garber would be the owner-operator.

November 1934 – The Timberville Feed and Implement Company opened for business in the Driver and Hagerman building on Main Street near the depot. The owners were J. Framk Hagerman, Stanley Hoover, and Boyd Garber.

November 17 & 18, 1927 – Charles Lindbergh landed on the Will Hoover farm just east of Timberville on Thursday the 17th of November and left on Friday the 18th. 

November 1954 – The Timberville Drug Store moved to its new location at the corner of Routes 42 and 260 from the old part of town. Braxton H. Coiner was the owner at this time.

November 1954 – Dr. B. W. Nash moved his office into three rooms in the rear of the new drug store. Mrs. Harold Orebaugh was his office assistant at this time.

November 1950—A $150,000 building at the Rockingham Poultry Marketing Co-Operative plant in Timberville was completed for the use of the Valley Feather Company. This company employed 50 people and turned out 8.000 pillows per eight hour day.
