Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Eli Pittman
I am proud to be your Great-granddaughter. I know you had a hard life growing up in Dark Corner at Glassy Mountain, but you did overcome those obstacles to make a better life for your family. It's very unfortunate that my Grandfather Alvin lost you at such a young age and my daddy William "Cowboy" never got to know you. Your story was kept secret by the family all those years until it was uncovered so you could receive the honor you deserved. My family and I will always remember you and all the stories of your life. You'll not be forgotten.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 106th 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 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.
