i never got the pleasure of meeting my greatgrandpa william lashley. His son, Jessie Lee Lashley, was my grandpa. Grandaddy always told me that his daddy,William, was a farmer. Grandaddy had to go to work in the fields at a young young age because William was paralyzed from the waist down and needed his help in the fields.In 1930 William was caught with red liquor in the house during the prohibition. He was sentenced to Baldwin State Prison for 12 months. He was released after 8 months because Jessie was a sickly child and Emma couldnt take care of Jessie and 2 more children on the $10 a month from the state. So William took a job as a prison guard to support his family. He sat in his wheelchair with a rifle across his lap to guard the prison and inmates. Grandpa Jessie said that even in his wheelchair, he was an excellent shot.
