"Delaware County's Pioneer Naval Aviator"

by David Simmons

In the Dyer Family plot in the Galena Cemetery is a marker for Jay Norton Dyer who died in 1919 at the young age of 21. His name is followed with this inscription: Chief Q. M. U.S.N. R.F. What can these official-looking abbreviations mean? The answer involves the tale of innovative turn-of-the century Galena-area farmers, the Galena school, agricultural schools in Mississippi, Ohio State University programming-including football, the far-ranging impact of World War I, and the early years of US naval aviation.
