    Notes:

    Dwight Osborn worked as a supervisor then an equipment operator in the Coal industry for over 35 years, employed by King Knob Coal for 20 years and later several different coal operations in the state. He served as Street Commissioner for the City of Weston and later as a Weston City Councilman. Mr. Osborn was a member of the St. Matthew United Methodist Church in Weston, and United Methodist Men, serving as an Usher and later, a member of the Board of Trustee's. He enjoyed golfing, hunting and traveling back to Gilmer County to retrace his family home place and reminisce of days gone by. Dwight loved country music, watching the RFD Channel and listing to the radio. Dwight was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, who enjoyed being actively involved in his families' sport activities.

    Dwight was stalwart over the years in supporting numerous sports programs throughout Lewis County. A 1958 graduate of Weston High School, he posted stellar athletic seasons during a sports career for the Minuteman football, basketball and baseball teams. His love of Lewis County High School sports was evident by his attendance at many sporting events, both at home and away during the respective sports campaigns. Osborn worked the sidelines for the Minuteman football games for several years as a member of the sideline crew. His support of all sporting teams flowed over onto youth baseball program. Osborn logged several championships while coaching the Cubs in the Lewis County Youth Baseball League. In 1969, he was actively involved in the construction of the youth baseball field behind what is now Robert L. Bland Middle School. He also coached the Orioles and Moose teams in the Lewis County Baseball Ruth League and in the Pop Warner Football program. His dedication to local sports programs was quite apparent by his donation of countless hours of volunteer work with athletic boosters organizations. He was a founding member of the Mainliner Booster Club at Lewis County High School. He loved attending his class reunions to connect with his old classmates and friends. We've heard countless people say, "Dwight never knew a stranger. He made friends everywhere he went." One of his most sparkling accomplishments revolved around his dedication and work in construction of Deerfield Country Club. Osborn became a fixture during construction of the nine-hole golf course. Armed with a D-9 dozer, Osborn has been credited with being a main force in the shaping of the course through moving tons upon tons of dirt during on-site work.
