Reflections for Deputy Sheriff William Thomas Beasley
My Great grandfather arrived in Oklahoma in 1883 at the age of 14 years old. He got married and raised several children including my grandfather Guy Keel Beasley. He pursuit of life and law enforcement I was running for sheriff in Tulsa county . He was very much in favor of Black Wall Street in Tulsa Oklahoma to which there are believes among his sons that he was most likely the reason for him being killed and my belief is this also . He was also a friend of Bass Reeves aka (The Lone Ranger) the one and only! Just some points of interest !
