The business that is now Trimble Inc. was started on March 13, 1874, as "E. B. Knox, Picture Framing and Undertaking." Our founder, Edwin B. Knox, a pioneer undertaker and early mayor of Moline, began his business on Third Avenue (now Moline's River Drive) at about 18th Street, near the current site of the old post office building. He soon moved across the railroad tracks into a new building located on the site of the parking lot on the west side of 15th Street between Fourth and Fifth Avenues. He was reported to be the first businessman to move away from the "downtown business center" which was then located on Third Avenue.
In 1906, after Edwin Knox's son, Luther, had joined his father in business, they closed the picture framing and art supply portion of their business, relocated to a new building they built on Fifth Avenue and 18th Street across from today's Daily Dispatch building, and renamed the business E. B. Knox and Son. A final move to the funeral home's current location on Sixth Avenue and 21st Street occurred in 1923, with the purchase of the former Barber residence and its conversion into a funeral home, which they renamed Knox Funeral Home.
