Deputy Turman is my maternal great grandfather. His daughter, Barbara ("Bessie") Elizabeth Turman, Jackson, is my maternal grandmother. Gramma Jackson often told us the story of her father's murder. She possessed one of the .45 Colt bullets that killed her father. Deputy Turman was present when Geronimo and his lieutenants came through on the train to San Antonio. She remembered her father lifting her up so she could see Geronimo when he and his men were taken off the train for a rest stop in Junction, Texas.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 111th 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 who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.
