Byron James “Jimmy” Hinderlong of Wayne, died on Sunday, March 25, 2012.

Jimmy was born in Miltonsburg, Ohio (population 29), a small and very rural farming town located in south eastern Ohio. He was raised by his mother Maida and his grandparents. His grandparents owned three small farms in Miltonsburg where they raised beef cattle and later his grandparents purchased the country store in the center of town. It was the only store within sixty miles. Jimmy and his family truly lived off of the land. Everything they ate was grown on their own farm, including their beef, and Jimmy would hunt squirrels, rabbits, groundhogs and deer as well. His mother and grandmother would can and cold pack everything he brought home. His home was the first one in town to be outfitted with indoor plumbing and electricity. He also saw the first street lights in town installed near his home and he recalls a man coming each evening to turn them on and then come back again in the morning to turn them off. Jimmy attended classes at a one room schoolhouse until entering high school. He went to Woodsfield High School and graduated with the Class of 1952.

Jimmy joined the U.S. Army in 1955 and after training he was assigned to the Missle Division. He served at Fort Leonard Hood in Missouri, White Sands Missle Proving Grounds in New Mexico, and at Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook, NJ. He was eventually stationed in Wayne, at the NIKE Missile Base off of Rt. 23 and at the Radar Base which was located on Alps Road. He was honorably discharged as a Corporal in 1961. While in the Army, Jimmy rented a room from a family in Pompton Plains. He was introduced to a cute girl from Wayne named Gloria Gailey. They soon fell in love and married on August 1, 1959 at the Mountain View Methodist Church in Wayne by the Rev. Rhorbach. They honeymooned at Niagara Falls, NY and have enjoyed over fifty two years together.

After his service he worked for A&C Paving in Pompton Plains. He later worked for the Grimal Excavating Company in Montville before retiring in 1991 after suffering a severe heart attack.

Jimmy was a true outdoorsman and to say he enjoyed hunting would be an understatement. He was an original member of the Red Barn Hunting Club in the Catskills since 1956, as well as the South Gate Hunting Club at Smoke Rise in Kinnelon, and a Past President of the Deer Run Hunting Club in Branchville, NJ.

He was the loving husband to Gloria (Gailey) Hinderlong; loving father of Lisa Inzalaco of Wayne, and Bryon Hinderlong and his wife Michelle of Oak Ridge, NJ, and Bryon’s step-daughter; Nicole Yatsonsky of California.
