General Notes: Eugene joined the U.S. Air Force in September, 1942, and served with distinction during WWII.  Trained as a bombadier in the famed Flying Fortress, he saw action in the European and African Theaters of War. Sgt. Dyer received the Soldier's Medal for Heroism when he saved the life of a fellow flyer after the plane's oxygen system was bombed out.

In May of 1947 Eugene bought a service station and grocery store from C.H. Davis.  After operating the Amoco Station and Grocery Store for 42 years Gene closed the business in May of 1989.  Later Dorothy opened a country store there that dealt mainly in handcrafts.  Then later it was a warehouse for Tim's cabinet shop business.

In civic work Egene represented his militia district on the Union Co., Board of Education for thrity-six consecutive years, a record in the state of Georgia.- F.E. Dyer, THE HERITAGE OF UNION COUNTY, GA. 1832 - 1994 art #405.When death comes near a holiday, such as Christmas, it seems to hold an extra measure of sadness.  My brother, my hero, Francis Eugene Dyer, drew his last breath on December 21, 2009 and was released from suffering and earthly restrictions.  In reviewing his life, I was extremely proud to call him my brother, my hero.  He will live in my heart and memory as long as I myself have breath-and, even beyond this life, I hope to rejoin him in Paradise.

He was born on February 25, 1921 in the farmhouse of his parents, Azie Collins Dyer (1895-1945) and Jewel Marion Dyer (1890-1974).  In his ancestry on both sides of the family he descended from pioneer settlers who were in Union County in the early 1830s when the county was formed.  Azie's parents were Francis Jasper Collins (1855-1941) and Georgianne Hunter Collins (1855-1924).  Azie's grandparents on her father's side were Frank Collins (1816-1864) and Rutha Nix Collins (1822-1893) and on her mother's side were William Jonathan Hunter (1813-1893) and Margaret Elizabeth “Peggy” England Hunter (1819-1894).  And Azie's great grandparents were Thompson Collins (abt. 1785-abt. 1858) and Celia Self Collins (abt. 1787-1880) and John Hunter (1775-1848) and Elizabeth (last name unknown).

On his father's side, Eugene's ancestors were grandparents, Bluford Elisha (“Bud”) Dyer (1855-1926) and Sarah Eveline Souther Dyer (1857-1959).  His great grandparents were James Marion Dyer (1823-1904) and Louisa Ingram Dyer (1827-1907); Little Ingram (1788-1866) and Mary “Polly” Cagle Ingram (abt. 1793-abt. 1830);  John Combs Hayes Souther (1827-1891) and Nancy Collins Souther (1829-1888).  His great, great grandparents were Bluford Elisha Dyer, Jr. (abt. 1785-1847) and Elizabeth Clark Dyer (abt. 1788-1861); John Souther (1803-1889) and Mary “Polly” Combs Souther (1807-1894); John Little Ingram (abt 1755-1828) and Ruth White Ingram (abt 1758-abt 1849).  John Ingram was a Revolutionary War Soldier.

With this list of ancestors, all of whom pioneered and settled land and became landowners, solid citizens, farmers, and some businessmen and teachers, we should not wonder that Eugene himself became a World War II soldier with a heroic and distinguished career, a businessman, a farmer and for 36 years a member of the Union County Board of Education.  Family matters.  Family helps to make us who and what we are.  And he was, indeed, from “solid” stock.

Eugene Dyer served in the Army Air Force during World War II from September, 1942 through the end of the war.  He was a bombardier in the famed Flying Fortress, B-24, serving in the Liberation Group of the 15th Army Air Force.  He saw action in the European, African and Italian Theaters of War, participating in more than 400 combat missions.  He was awarded the Soldier's Medal of Heroism when he saved the life of a fellow flyer.  He and the one he saved were the only survivors of the plane's crew when its oxygen system was bombed out.  Other decorations included the Purple Heart, the Air Medal with oak leaf clusters, the Good Conduct Medal, the European-African-Middle Eastern Theater War Ribbon with five campaign stars, and the Distinguished Unit Badge with two oak leaf clusters.  He attained the rank of Staff Sergeant.  He spent fifteen months in Italy, much of which was in an army hospital recovering from severe injuries, the results of which were present with him the remainder of his life in the form of shrapnel in his legs.  He can truly be termed a “hero,” a member of “The Greatest Generation.”

As a merchant, he operated a grocery, gasoline, feed, seed and fertilizer store from 1947 through 1989.  He was known for his credit to farmers that badly needed his help to get their crops planted.  In this respect, he followed the practice he had observed from his grandfather, Francis Jasper “Bud” Collins, who also had extended credit to hurting families during the Great Depression, and before and after.

As a school board member in Union County for 36 years, an elected office, he helped to make decisions that brought the school system from scattered country schools to strong consolidated schools, adequate and state-of-the-art buildings and equipment, and well-qualified teachers and administrators.  Education was high on his list of priorities.

He was a family man.  His wife Dorothy, his children Connie, Ivan and Tim, his grandchildren Jason, Alexandra and Emily, and his brothers and sisters and a host of cousins can all attest to his love, respect and reverence for family ideals and priorities.

And as a church man, he was quiet and often did not say much, but when he spoke on matters of building decisions, church finances, and expansion, he was heard and heeded.  His devotion to Choestoe Baptist Church where he was a faithful member extended from boyhood through all of his adult life.

Noted events in his life were:

•  He had a residence in 2006 in Blairsville, Union Co., GA.

Francis married Dorothy Velma Dyer [11063] [MRIN: 4076], daughter of John Dyer [11087] and Ida Nix [11088]. Dorothy was born on 21 Mar 1929. They had three children: Connie Jean, Ivan Eugene, and Timothy Maurice.

Ethelene Dyer Jones, recipient of Governor's Award

At the 26th Governor's Awards in the Humanities event held on Thursday, October 6, 2011, at noon at the Old Georgia Railroad Freight Depot in downtown Atlanta, Ethelene Dyer Jones was among 10 Georgians who received medals. The purpose of the event is to recognize exemplary work in the humanities and to highlight the awardees as models for others in the state.

In making the award, the Georgia Humanities Council stated that for over 60 years Mrs. Ethelene Jones has been a leader in documenting, preserving, and sharing the stories of the Georgia mountains and Appalachian culture through publications, journalism, and other programs.

Mrs. Jones is a native of Union County and her career as an award-winning teacher and media specialist spanned Union, Bibb, Hart, and Fannin counties. She worked to secure an auxiliary off-campus center for college classes at Epworth and taught English there. She served as co-editor of Facets of Fannin, a 600-page volume of local history and lore. She also has published four other books on church history, family history, and poetry. For over 20 years, she has written a weekly history column for the News Observer newspaper of Blue Ridge and the Georgia Sentinel in Union and Towns Counties, and her columns have led to an increased appreciation of local history and folk traditions. Many of her columns are posted online at the GaGenWebProject.

Active with the Georgia Poetry Society, the Byron Herbert Reece Society, and the Fannin County Heritage Foundation, Mrs. Jones' leadership has led to the development of exhibits, documentaries, genealogical resources, and theatrical presentations. In addition, during her retirement in central Georgia, she volunteers as an advisor for the Georgia War Veterans Home, has reorganized a church library, is active in Learning-in-Retirement, and is a mentor in creative writing for a person in state prison.

We congratulate Mrs. Jones on this significant recognition for her outstanding work.
