Notes:

Charlie Byrd, as he was known to his friends, served in Vietnam.

In about 1975, Charlie was visiting his mother. Their neighbors, Judyand Gary Smith, were preparing the ground for a garden and Gary wasoperating a tiller in an area between the homes. Judy was behind thetwo houses. Andy Carter, then 3 1/2 years old, was sitting on theside of a ditch between the two houses. Andy was wearing a pair ofyellow Brogan Boots, splashing his feet in the shallow water of theditch and in a world of his own.

Judy went towards Andy to call him to come into the house and calledhim above the noise of the tiller. Andy didn't hear her. Judystarted to go closer to Andy when she suddenly saw a snake goingtowards the creek but between Judy and Andy. Juddy started to screamwhen she saw the second snake. It was about that time that Andy heardhis mother and got up to come to her. Judy by then was screaming atthe top of her lungs. Gary continued his tiller, unable to her herscreams. But Charlie Byrd heard her and came around the Byrd housetowards Judy. When Judy finally got out the words "snakes", Charliewent towards Andy and picked him up and brought him to Judy. Charlietracked down the snakes and declared them only Chicken Snakes. Judywas sure they were poisionus and would devour her little boy. Charliewas her hero on that day and forever after.

When Charlie died, several people called Judy and asked her to go toMiss Dot's house and be there when the message got to her of Charlie'ssuicide. Charlie had sent his best friend, Mike Carroll, with hisdaughter to his mother-in-law's house and when they returned, thedaughter ran in the house and found her father dead. Charlie and hiswife were on the verge of divorce, with Charlie's sister creating someof the problems according to community gossip. Others were at thehouse and Judy elected to stay home so as to NOT alert Miss Dot to aproblem.

Since then, Miss Dot has lost her oldest son and how has only herdaughter of her four children. 2009.

Charlie served in Vietnam.
