Her mom was Mary B. Reynolds Langley who supposedly came from Scott County. She died shortly after a brush fire incident near Jackson Mountain in the Coalfield area after her skirt caught fire. I would love to have more information on these Langley's too.

We will all miss Neal and his contributions to genealogy! Rest peacefully friend!! BYRGE, NEAL BURNARD, Senior Master Sergeant United States Air Force Retired, departed for the "Wild Blue Yonder" 14 Mar 2011. Coal miner, Soldier, Airman, and author of the published Byrge family genealogy, Neal was born 14 Aug 1922 in Kettle Island, Bell County, Kentucky to the late Jasper Porter Byrge (1899-1935), a native of Scott County, Tennessee, and Dona Elsie Ferguson (1899-1952), a native of Claiborne County, Tennessee. Preceded in death by Mona Geraldine Walters Byrge, wife of 63 years; sisters Mary Helen (1928-1936), Lois Hope (m. Foster Minton) (1920-2005), Francis Imogene (m. Walter Graham and Hatler Cook) (1924-2003); sons Infant (b/d 1952), Thomas Porter (1945-2003), David O'Neal (1947-2005); grandsons Kyle Burnard (b/d 1972) and Timothy Gordon Fischer (1969-2003); and great-grandson Kember McCray Peele (b/d 2010). Survived by daughters Mona Marlene (m. Phillip Angelo); Lucy L'Dona Byrge (m. Jerry Tackett); and ten grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. On 17 Jan 1944, Neal married Mona Geraldine ("Jerry") Walters of Middlesboro, Bell County, Kentucky, daughter of William Thomas Walters (1874-1940) and Lucy Andrew (1884-1979), both natives of Whitley County, Kentucky. Jerry was born 24 May 1924 in Spencer, McLean County, South Dakota and died 26 July 2007, in Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida. At age 15, Neal skipped school to become a coal miner but, with all due respect to coal miners, later decided it just wasn't for him. On 20 Sep 1940, at age 18, he enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps. A veteran of the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations during World War II, Sergeant Byrge served with the 63d Army Airways Communications Service, part of the 14th Air Force "Flying Tigers." Subsequent tours included 18 months in Alaska (1948-1949), and service during the Korean Conflict with the "Mosquitoes" of the 6147th Tactical Control Group, part of the 5th Air Force. Neal also served three years on the Island of Bermuda (1963-1966), often joking that it "was one tough tour, but someone had to take it." Senior Master Sergeant Byrge retired from the United States Air Force on 1 Aug 1968, and continued working with the Hillsborough County Automobile Inspection Department and Board of Public Instruction until 1 Jan 1983. Known as "Pop" to some and "Gramps" to most, Neal never met a stranger. Everyone was an opportunity for conversation, and it usually involved genealogy or Florida State University football -- he was their biggest fan. A Kentucky hillbilly with a big heart, Neal wanted more than anything to simply be remembered. He got his wish - in so many ways, Neal will forever be a part of us. He forever will be loved and missed by all who knew him. The family will receive friends at 9:00 am Thursday, 17 Mar, at Marsicano-B. Marion Reed-Stowers Funeral Home, 4040 Henderson Blvd in Tampa, Florida. Funeral services will follow at 10:00 am in the funeral home chapel with Pastor John Meisenbach officiating. Graveside services and burial will be held at approximately 12:30 pm at the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the Air Force Aid Society at (800) 769-8951 or www.afas.org.

WILSON, MR. JACK DEAN, age 80, of the Joyner Community, passed away Monday March 7, 2011 in the Park West Medical Center in Knoxville. He had been a resident of Ben Atchley Veterans Home in Karns, TN for the past several months. He was a devoted husband, adoring father, doting papaw, loving brother and friend to all that knew him. He was preceded in death by parents, Clifford Wilson and Mamie Johnson Wilson, sisters, Maxine Wilson Sweat and Carolyn Sue Wilson Fudge; Brothers, Estel and Vernon Wilson. Jack had unwavering faith in God that was evident throughout his life; he was a dedicated member of Liberty Baptist Church Wartburg where he was an active part of the “good looking” Senior Adult Men’s Sunday school class, which was taught by Glen Duncan. He was a U.S. Army Veteran, member of the American Legion. He was retired from the Tennessee State Highway Department, where he worked for over 41 years. He not only took pride in his family, but also truly relished the friends he made throughout his life. He was an avid collector who could always find a bargain. He also enjoyed hunting and being outside on his tractor. Jack loved to travel and visit new and exciting places. During his travels he was able to visit 48 states. Some of his fond memories were of the Grand Canyon, San Francisco, Las Vegas, New York City and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He also loved going on bus trips with his wife Imogene, which were led by Jerome and Freida Rogers. To try to explain what kind of a person Jack Wilson was in a few paragraphs is virtually impossible. But he was one of the most unselfish and loving individuals you could ever meet. He was always willing to give of his time, gifts, and talents every opportunity he got. He always had a joke and a smile for everyone. To say he will be missed is an understatement. Jack is survived by wife of over 57 years, Imogene Duncan Wilson; Daughters and sons-in-law; Anita Wilson Giles and husband Steve Barbara Wilson Olmstead and husband Wayne. Five grandchildren; Christopher Giles and wife Leigh Hampton Giles, Jonathan Giles, Allison Olmstead, Ashley Olmstead and Amelia Olmstead.
