• Tidbits: 
  

•       William Harvey went to school in Cullahaw, NC and then attended Duke University (called something different back then).  He became a teacher and was Lula’s teacher at the Indian School.  He was mild mannered and quiet but once when a teacher hit his daughter Rosie Corrine, he knocked the teacher to the floor.  He became a Deputy Marshall sometime during the late 1800’s.  He was in a gunfight in Cookson Hills (Gore, Oklahoma) with Belle Starr.  There are books about her and William Bryson’s name is mentioned.  Supposedly he captured Belle and took her to Fort Smith, Arkansas to Judge Parter, the “hanging judge”.
