The body of Jarvis Noe, 53, was found Saturday afternoon in the wreckage of his single-engine plane, in a mountainous area of Knox County about seven miles south east of Corbin. Noe, a flight instructor who was associated with the Taylor County Airport several times during the period since 1962, apparently just "ran out of gas" and was attempting a crash landing sometime during the night of November 27, 1972, possibly in bad weather. He was flying a 1956 model Cessna 150, and had left the airport at Russell Springs, Kentucky enroute to Albany late on the afternoon of Friday, November 27. He was never heard from again. Members of the Civil Air Patrol spotted the plane with Noe's body strapped in place late last Saturday afternoon. Officials for the CAP told local pilots that Noe apparently was prepared for an emergency landing as all switches were turned off in the craft, and he was strapped into his seat tightly. Police who visited the scene said that Noe was apparently killed instantly. Noe in recent months had made his home in Albany where his wife, two sons and two daughters survive. Funeral services were held in Albany on Monday afternoon of this week, and the body was taken to Harlan where services and interment were scheduled on Tuesday. ~Obituaries of Taylor County, Kentucky, Volume III, compiled by Eunice Montgomery Wright, p. 8
