View all 3 ReflectionsDear Grandfather George,
We remember with great sorrow your untimely passing. You were joined this Monday by your granddaughter Ann Claire Bridges Walker upon her passing. You and Grandmother Allie hold a special place in our hearts and the history of the State of Texas. You were elected Sheriff and on your death, Allie was appointed Sheriff to fill the remainder of your term.
That appointment means that Grandmother Allie was the only female Sheriff to serve in the history of Dallam County, Texas and (to our knowledge) the only female Sheriff in the history of the State of Texas.
