Transcription Notes:
words typed as written with errors by author Attempted to verify (through historical records) who the Sheriff was in 1867- the last name could be Griston, Guston, or Gufton. The letter that appears to be an 'f' or a 'p' is consistent with the manner of 's' that was commonly written during this era. The 's' in cursive often looks more like a 'p'.
