My Osage family is from Pawhuska, and there's no doubt my white grandfather and Osage Grandmother were about that area while you served. Based upon his history, you may have even...shall we say...crossed paths. Those were tough times, indeed, and men like you hopefully protected the (newly, oil-wealthy) Osage people who were being ripped-off, and often killed, for their money.
I thank you for the service you provided in those very difficult days. May God grant you eternal rest and may His perpetual light shine upon you.
