Sheriff John McHargue, the correct spelling of his name, was my second great grandfather. The leader of the mob was McHargue's brother-in-law, Campbell Williams. The older brother confessed to the murder and stated his brother had nothing to do with the crime and asked that he be spared. Both brother were hung with telephone line.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 118th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace
