Henry Poskey was my Great Grandfather. He was at the grocery store one day and a man threatened to kill him. Henry went out to his car and got his gun, which was a 25 automatic. He unloaded it on the man right there and it killed him. My Dad said that he never spent a day in jail because he fired until the gun was empty.
When Henry was on his death bed he gave a young boy 50 cents to go buy him two shells for his 410 shotgun. He whittled on one and then shot himself in the head with the other one. That's all that I know about him other than he was a big man.
