Reflections for Deputy Marshal Elijah F. "Lige" Hoskins

Rest in peace Great Grandpa Hoskins. The first time I got to read your story was at our Hoskins reunion this year. Thanks to Sue, Melissa for bringing it.So proud of what you chose to be. I know you were an outstanding man. I know this because our Grandpa Hoskins was an outstanding man as well. You were a true Hero in my book. Trying to do your job to the fullest of your ability and get jumped and murdered in the line of duty is hard to swallow.
R.I.P Great Grandpa Hoskins <3 another great granddaughter Balinda Lewis Barney.
