Hello,
GGrandfather Marion PRICKETT was a U.S. Special Deputy Marshal and was
killed in the line of duty December 15, 1890. He was listed on the U.S.
Marshals Service Roll Call of Honor.
I would greatly appreciate knowing more details of his death. I would also
like the location of his burial.
Are there available county or any other death records for the 1890 period?
Thank you very much for any help or suggestions.
