Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

He was my GG grandfather's brother. His widow sent two letters that I have describing the trial. His life was threatened by the KKK, as, even though he was a Major with Thomas Legion from NC, he became a Republican and considered a traitor by many of his former comrades and was gunned down in the middle of the road. The murder was covered by Jacksonville & Savannah papers. The killer was released.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 139th anniversary year 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.

Time never diminishes respect, not even 139 years.
You served in and survived the Civil War only to be murdered as a peace officer.

Rest In Peace
