I have only recently come across Lee Lynam in my ancestry research. He was my great grand uncle.

So far we have not been able to find a photo of Lee Lynam nor do we have contact with his direct descendants.

My brother remembers that we had his revolver in our family collection of firearms, but that has long since gone.

We have many photos to go through. If we find something definitive, we will let you know.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 132nd 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

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

Rest In Peace
