Surnames: Bradshaw Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IiB.2ACE/794 Message Board Post: I am a volunteer researcher for the Texas Peace Officers Memorial. The Atlanta Constitution (1 May 1883) reported that on Saturday 26 April 1883 two black men charged with trival offenses were ordered to jail in Longview. Officer BRADSHAW took the men to the train depot when a rescue attempt was made. BRADSHAW summoned to 2 citizens to aid him and a gunfight erupted. Officer BRADSHAW and 3 black men were killed. I am in interested in more facts about the case, family history of the officer, date of birth, place of burial etc. Any assistance would be appreciated.
