Note about Mike Reilley's Site:  This site is currently under re-construction after AOL terminated the Hometown service and Mike's Remembering Byrnesville site along with it.  As we reconstruct the site here, some of the pages will be incomplete with broken images and missing elements.  In time the site will be re-built in its entirety. Thanks for your patience.  Read more at the bottom of this page about the reconstruction.
WELCOME TO THE SECOND PAGE
ABOUT THE HISTORY OF;
 BYRNESVILLE,PA.
AS I MENTIONED ON THE FIRST PAGE; BYRNESVILLE WAS A SMALL COAL MINING VILLAGE THAT IS NOW EXTINCT BECAUSE OF THE CENTRALIA MINE FIRE.
 DO YOU REMEMBER THE LOCATIONS OF THE HOMES IN BYNESVILLE AND THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED IN THEM? HERE IS A PLOT PLAN, LOCATING HOMES AND SOME OF THE LAST FAMILIES THAT RESIDED THERE. ALSO I NUMBERED LOTS TO ADD THE NAMES OF ADDITIONAL FAMILIES THAT RESIDED IN THESE HOMES OVER THE YEARS. ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME TO ADD NAMES OR CORRECT ERRORS WILL BE APPRECIATED.

These pages about Byrnesville were created by Mike Reilley and were originally hosted under AOL's Hometown site under the address hometown.aol.com/mpreil.  When AOL abruptly terminated the hometown sites, Offroaders.com assisted Mike in restoring his site from archived web pages, cache pages, backups and other resources to restore the memory of Byrnesvillle PA and to give his pages a place to live.  Special thanks also goes to Robert Showalter who had taken the initiative to make an offline copy of Mike Reilley's site thinking that AOL may someday discontinue free hometown site services.  To contact Mike Reilley, you can email him here: MPREIL@AOL.COM.  Mike has begun rebuilding his site under Verizon's Mysite service at this web address: http://mysite.verizon.net/vzermnw3  Visit his site to see his latest updates.
