Long-time Sullivan County officials are mourning the loss of one of their own this week, following the death Wednesday of Margaret Massengill DeVault.
A memorial service is scheduled for 3 p.m. Saturday at the State Street Methodist Church.
DeVault represented the city of Bristol on the Sullivan County Commission from 1982 to 1994. She also taught fifth-grade classes at Fairmount Elementary School and math at Vance Middle School before retiring in 1979.
“She was just an exceptional commissioner,” said County Commissioner John McKamey of Piney Flats. “She served on the commission just like she taught school. She did everything by the book.”
McKamey said he worked side-by-side with DeVault when she served on the commission. They were especially tight at the end of her tenure when McKamey served as county executive and DeVault chaired the commission’s Administrative Committee.
In addition to her duties with that committee, DeVault headed up the commission’s justice center committees, which played a role in designing and building the Kingsport and Blountville Justice Centers.
“She stayed on top of everything,” McKamey said. “Her mind was as sharp as a tack.”
DeVault was 94 at the time of her death and is survived by three children: Meredith Pence, Merle DeVault and Charlton DeVault.

OBITUARY - Bristol Harald Courier, April 29, 2009
Margaret DeVault
Margaret Masengill DeVault was born in 1914 to attorney Charles H. Masengill and Sara Akard Masengill in Blountville, Tenn. She received a two-year degree from Virginia Intermont College in Bristol and a four-year degree from King College. Margaret had the highest grade point average of her graduating class at King College and was also selected the College's May Queen.
In 1939, Margaret married Chauncey DeVault, who had played football at Kingsport's Dobyns-Bennett High School and had captained Emory & Henry College's football team. As Chauncey matriculated for his master's degree at Columbia University and received specialized naval training at Princeton University, he and Margaret temporarily relocated to New York City and then to Princeton, N.J. Margaret lived with her parents in Blountville while Chauncey served as a naval officer in the Pacific theater during World War II.
Margaret and Chauncey are survived by three children; daughter, Meredith DeVault Pence resides in Nashville, Tenn., with her husband Ken and their two children, Charlton DeVault Pence and Meredith Masengill Pence. Meredith is a senior counsel to the Tennessee Attorney General and her husband Ken is a professor at Vanderbilt University; son, Merle Masengill DeVault is retired from his management position at Levi-Strauss and continues to live in San Francisco; and son, Charlton R. DeVault Jr. practices law in Kingsport, Tenn.
Growing up, Margaret's three children listened in amazement as their mother recounted episodes of her sojourn in the northeast, described her naive walks through New York's Harlem district and Central Park, her rides on the city's subway system, and told them about her acquaintance with Albert Einstein at Princeton. Margaret's memories of her repeated trips from Bristol to San Francisco on troop trains to see Chauncey after his ship had docked for leave are bittersweet. She had to watch from the Golden Gate Bridge as her husband sailed back out to war.
Margaret taught mathematics and geometry at Blountville High School before moving to Bristol with her husband. Chauncey had coached at Appalachia Virginia High School and Virginia High School and had been principal of Virginia High School immediately before the war. In 1945, Chauncey and Margaret opened DeVault's Sporting Goods Store in Bristol Virginia. Chauncey operated the store and also served as president of Major League Baseball's Appalachian Rookie League until his death in 1980.
After her youngest child was of school age, Margaret began teaching the fifth grade at Fairmount Elementary School in Bristol Tennessee. During the mid-1960s Margaret transferred to Vance Junior High School, where she taught mathematics until she retired in 1979. Margaret was active in various State Street United Methodist Church circles and classes, in local Bristol book clubs and in the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Margaret also served her community as a member of the Bristol Charter Review Committee and the Bristol Planning Commission. In 1982, Margaret was elected to the Sullivan County Commission, where she represented her Bristol constituency and the entire county for 12 years. In addition to chairing the county's administrative committee and serving on various other committees, Margaret chaired specially designated justice center committees which promoted, co-ordinated, planned and monitored the construction of the Kingsport Justice Center and the Sullivan County Justice Center in Blountville, Tenn. Her justice center committee also initiated the planning for the City County building in Bristol.
At the time of her death on Wednesday, April 29, 2009, Margaret was residing at The Oaks in Kingsport, Tenn.
The memorial service for Mrs. DeVault will be held at 3 o'clock Saturday, May 2, 2009, at State Street United Methodist Church, with the Rev. Dr. Mike Jackson officiating. The family will receive friends immediately following the service. The committal service will be at 3 o'clock Sunday, May 3, 2009, in Glenwood Cemetery.

Dead Were:
Janes V. Breeding, 37, RFD Jonesboro and his brother-in-law Elon DeVault, about 25, Route 10, Kingsport.

In critical condition late Saturday night was john W. Correll, about 42, 128 Boone St., Jonesboro, who suffered chest injuries and head lacerations.
Less seriously hurt was Gus Breeding, 34, Bloomingdale Rd., Kingsport, brother of James and driver of the car, according to investigating officers. He was admitted to Memorial Hospital for treatment of small head lacerations.
The Washington County Sheriff's Department at Johnson City said a manslaughter charge had been placed against Breeding.
The accident occurred about 5 p.m. at a dangerous intersection about one forth mile off Route 23. Correll, a worker in heating units and guttering was alone in his 1948 model car and apparently driving towards Jonesboro.
The 1950 model car in which two were to be fatally hurt evidently was traveling towards Gray Station.
The roads leading to the intersection are straight.
The right front of the Breeding car struck the left front of Correll's vehicle, knocking it about 20 feet from the point of impact, according to the first person on the scene after the accident, Clarence Mattingly, an auto repairman from Jonesboro.
The Breeding car had stopped after breaking through a panel fence to the left of the road, Mattingly said, and two men lay near it, one whose feet were in the car and his head on the ground. He did not see a third man near or in the car, he said.
Correll was lying in the road curled up, Mattingly stated.
As others arrived and stopped, Mattingly advised Mrs. B. D. Young, whose home is nearby, to call an ambulance and the Highway Patrol. He said he also advised against moving any of the victims until an ambulance came.
Saturday's fatal crash was investigated by Sheriff John R. Deakins, Deputies Ed Phillips, Milt Sluder, and Chief Deputy Bill Taylor and Highway patrol Cpl. Jim Long.
James Breeding was a native of Sullivan County and an Air Force veteran of World War II. He owned and operated Williams Machine Shop at Litz Manor. He leaves his widow, Mrs. Janie Breeding; two children, Carolyn and Jimmy; his mother, Mrs. J. K. Breeding, Route 2, Kingsport; three brothers in addition to Gus - Ernest, Sydney and Kemper, all of Route 2, Kingsport; three sisters, Mrs. I. E. Bevins, Bristol, Mrs. Mabel Peters, San Diego, Calif. and Mrs. Parker Lovelace, Route 1, Kingsport.

BASIC FACTS
Lillie Etta Gillmore was born on 3 December 1868 in Pike Co., Illinois.1,6 She was born on 3 December 1868 in Macoupin Co., Illinois.7 She and Joseph Turner Collom were married on 18 October 1897 in Kansas City, Jackson Co., Missouri.1,7 She died in Still alive in 1940. She was buried in Columbia Gardens Cemetery, Arlington, Arlington Co., Virginia.8 Lillie Etta Gillmore had reference number 16619. She resided in Arlington, Fairfax Co., Virginia (1929.)9 She was enumerated on the census in Barton County, Missouri (1870, 1880); Crawford County, Pennsylvania (1900, 1910); Alexandria County, Virginia (1920); Arlington City County (1930, 1940.) Newland sayd that Lillie died on the 13 April 1938. This is the date that her daughter says that her father died on. I am guessing that Newland was incorrect.
Note: There is some confusion between the various census and SSDI records, etc. Sometimes the location is listed as Arlington, Arlington City County, Virginia, sometimes as Arlington, Alexandria County, Virginia and sometimes as Alexandria, Alexandria City County, Virgina and sometimes as Arlington, Fairfax County, Virginia.
