About this Event

The Dyer Family plot in the Galena Cemetery includes 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.
