A MEMORABLE DAY FOR CHIEF KELSEY PRESLEY
(Ed. Note: The following article was compiled from The Albuquerque Tribune, May 25,
1987, and The Gailup Independent, June 1 & 2, 1937. Can anyone tell us more about
the family and life of Kelsey Presley?)
Truett Eugene Rowe, a 33-year-old El Paso man, was the only FBI agent ever killed in New Mexico and the ninth of 381 agents killed since the bureau began in 1908. George Guy "Bud" Osborne was a 28-year-old truck driver, mechanic, thief, and jail escapee from Oklahoma, who killed him at a remote ranch house near Stinking Spring on June 1, 1937. Kelsey Presley was the chief of police of the town of Gailup, who drove- the wounded and dying FBI agent back to town and then returned to the ranch to capture the killer.
Bud Osborne, who had served two terms for car theft in the Oklahoma State Penitentiary at McAlester, was jailed in Eufaula, Oklahoma, in April 1937 for stealing a Ford truck and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and escaped on April 22 with two other inmates by use of a hacksaw blade. Obtaining a pistol, he picked up his 17-year-old bride, Bessie Louise (Harrison), hitchhiked to Pampa, Texas, stole a 1932 Chevrolet sedan, and drove west on Route 66 to Gailup, New Mexico, where they turned south for 21 miles to the ranch of Bud's adopted brother, John Wesley Osborne, his wife Ethel, and six children.
Truett Rowe was born at Amity, Arkansas, and had been accepted by the bureau as an agent in 1936, an expert marksman who had served in Nashville and San Antonio before coming to El Paso, which had jurisdiction in New Mexico. In late May 1937, Rowe received a tip that Bud Osborne had family near Gailup.
On the morning of June 1st Rowe went to the office of Gailup Police Chief Kelsey Presley. Rowe, who had no car, asked the Chief if he would drive him out to Wes Osborne's place. The Chief didn't know the place and suggested that Rowe try the sheriff, but the sheriff had taken the day off to go fishing. Presley agreed to drive Rowe in his brown Chevy.
At Sam and Simon Danoff's store ten miles south of town, the lawmen stopped for directions. Wes and Ethel Osborne, and 13-year-old J.W. Osborne, Jr., met them in the yard, which was covered by wood chips. Said Chief Presley: "Agent Rowe and I stopped near the Osborne home, and asked if there had been any arrivals there in the past two weeks. We were informed that Osborne's brother was there. When we got to the house, Guy was in the yard. We talked to him. He admitted his identity and agreed to come along with us."

A MEMORABLE DAY FOR CHIEF KELSEY PRESLEY (Continued):
Osborne, who was wearing old overalls, a dirty blue shirt, no socks, and black clodhopper shoes said he would have to go in the house and get cleaned up. Rowe followed him into a back bedroom which had men's shirts for curtains. As he unhitched his belt, a .32 pistol fell out, Rowe scuffled to get it, and Osborno shot him twice through the right hand and stomach.
Presley, who was with the Osbornes in the living room, related: "I heard a shot. Rowe staggered back into the room, holding his stomach. I grabbed rny gun as Guy appeared at the door, his gun pointing at me. Then was when I snapped a si at him and the hammer just clicked on the 'dud1 (shell)."
"For a minute it looked like I'd come to the end of my trail - but instead of firing, Guy bolted out a side door, towards the corrals. I ran through the front, but couldn't see him, ran around the back, and still couldn't locate him. I started toward the barn, but the women said he'd jumped down the Rio Puerco and run. So I went back to Rowe, who had staggered outside. He asked me to get him a doctor. I loaded him in the car and burned up the road."
Just as the Chief's Chevy reached town, Rowe cried for the door to be opene< so he could get air, but Presley later said that all the windows were open and he was doing 80 mph. At the hospital a nurse rushed to the car, looked at Rowe, pro nounced him dead, and directed he be taken to the mortuary. Presley later tostif. that the agent was still moving his lips and breathing, but by the time he reacho the mortuary, Rowe was dead.
Osborne attempted a ruse by going back to the house, changing clothes, sadd a horse, and driving a herd of cows right through the area. A posse of men had g< to the ranch to search when word had reached town, and Chief Presley, deputy chic Mahoney, and a deputy sheriff had also returned in the Chief's car. The cattle-country trained eyes of Chief Presley spotted the shortened stirrups which the tnai had been unable to change in his hurry. The officers pretended to be indifferent to the rider, who appeared to be just a cowhand bringing in some stock. "Why no regular cowhand would do that. If you've'ridden very far with stirrups too short you know what a tiresome job it is. So, I looked closer, and despite the fact the he had changed his clothes, I recognized Osborne," said the Chief.
Presley and Mahoney slowed their car as the cattle crossed the road. "Go ahead and run over them. They ought to be hit," Osborne yelled and grinned, but Mahoney turned his shot gun on the rider and ordered him to dismount. Osborne made no resistance, the murder weapon still in his waistband.
Bud Osborne was taken to Albuquerque, tried in District Court and given a mandatory life sentence. He served his sentence in the federal prisons at Leaven-worth, Ran., and Seguinsville, Texas, was paroled in the. 1960's, and died in Da11. in 1975. Truett Rowe was buried in Oklahoma City. Lawrence Edison "Bobcat" Wils< the only surviving member of the posse of 50 years ago and now a 79-year-old ram remembers going out to supper with Kelsy Presley that June night. "Kels said the agent kept asking for air, more air, " Bobcat recalls. "I always remember that wl I drive out in that area. The place is called Pine Haven now."

CURRENT FAMILY NEWS
Our vice-president, Betty Bostick, has reached her goal of teaching for 40 years, and the second grade teacher has "hung up her chalk." Enthusiasm and motivation have been the terms used to descibe Betty. "A teacher has to care," she says. "It's adding to the student's self-esteem and making them feel they c make it." In addition to her teaching, she has also taught Sunday School at Alamo Heights United Methodist Church for as long as she has been in San Antonio where the Bosticks moved in 1959.
Betty's husband, Ray, retired from Randolph AFB in 1985, and the couple plan to travel and to spend guite a bit of time at their new log house at Groesbeck near Lake Limestone. Her two sisters have homes there, says Betty. "We were initially attracted to square log construction because of the romantic notion of doing it the way our ancestors did."
The Bosticks have been genealogists since they graduated from Southern Methodist University. In addition to gardening, playing bridge, and maintaining a scrapbook for her sorority, Betty belongs to several historical and genealogical societies. She will be corresponding secretary for the Green Mountain Boys Chapter of the DAR and recording secretary for the Jamestown Society and the Daughters of the American Colonists. She will serve as publicity chairman for the Alamo Mission Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic cf Texas, and she is the ongoing historian for the Chi Omegas.
From article by Barbara Wilson in The North San Antonio Times,
28 May 1987.
Tom and Emily Pressly of San Antonio, who wintered in Ireland, have now moved permanently to County Cork, Ireland, and their daughter, Lisa, and husband. Clark Charbonnet, have bought her parents' home in San Antonio. The Presslys have bought a rectory in one of Ireland's villages and are restoring it. Tom is painting and will have a showing in Dublin,in September, and Emily is reported to have taken her family records with her to work on.
Yes, that was their family described in the letter on the front page of the March 1987 Newsletter. Lisa says that Dr. Tom Pressly III" is returning in June to practice medicine in San Antonio, and Tom IV has arrived.
From Betty Bostick, 6914 Scotsdale Dr., San Antonio, Texas 78202
and the San Antonio Express-News, 25 April 1987.
Wayman Presley, founder and chairman of the board of Presley Tours in Makanda, Illinois, was named the National Tour Association's Tour Operator of the Year during the Assocations's recent Convention '86 in Atlanta, Ga. Presley was honored for having made the most significant accomplishments directly affecting his membership segment of the tour and travel industry. He began his career in the travel industry at age 62 after retiring from the U.S. Postal Service. Expanding on his long-time hobby of providing nature tours in the Illinois Ozarks for area children, Presley created Presley Tours - one of the most successful tour operations in the nation - 26 years ago.
From The Troy (Mo.) Free Press, n.d.

MILITARY RECORDS
Confederate Pension Records
(Ed. Note: The Association has begun to acquire Civil War pensions issued to veterans and their widows. Of course, for those who fought for the Confederacy, there are no pension records in the National Archives. These records must be obtained from the various state record depositories. The following records have been located and will be acquired as time and funds allow, but the list may be useful in the meantime to researchers who wish to order records themselves.)

I am a retired Presbyterian minister who has lived on the west coast during my fifty years of ministry, but I was born in Nebraska. My father, Nov. J.W. Pressly, Sr., was born in Rensalaer, Indiana, but lived most of his life in Iowa and Nebraska, liis father, Rev. Robert T. Pressly was born in Battleground, Ind. on 6/21/1848; his father, Nathaniel Weed Pressly, M.D. was from Battleground, Ind., died in 1883. My grandmother, wife of Rev. Robert T. Pressly, was Melissa McGaw. Her ancestors for severu generations were from the Abbeville, S.C. area, jnd the earliest, John McGaw, from Scotland via Irclanc I believe the Presslys were also from Abboville Co., perhaps being among the group who migrated to Ohio during the Civil War period. Can anyone offer any help with this line?

CORRECTIONS
From Stephen J. Presley - The Preslar/Presley Family, of Anson Co. , N_.C_., p. 15:
The writer stated that Elias Preslar "was deeded lOOa on Mill Cr. by John Preslar
in 1835" (Anson Co. DB Z, p. 179). A careful reading of this deed reveals that John
Presley deeded the land on Mill Creek to "Eli Presley his son". Therefore, the Eli
in this deed was not the Elias (#53), son of Elias Preslar, but rather another Eli,
who lived in present-day Union Co. and was possibly a son of John (#68). Further
research on this relationship needs to be done. .
