GRIFFIN,
THORNTON PEYTON
was born January 25, 1867 in Hearne, Texas.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Griffiin, pioneer citizens
of the
Hearne community, and he lived his entire lifetime in Hearne.
He was married to Miss Lou Shaw, and two children were born to
them: a
daughter, Grace Griffin Adkisson, and a son T. P. Griffin Jr. Mr. and
Mrs.
Griffin had one grandson, Marsene Adkisson.
Mr. Griffin was elected
City Marshal
of Hearne in 1894 at the age of 27 years and served in this capacity
for 43
years, being elected to this office 21 consecutive times without
suffering a
single defeat at the polls.
After one of his
campaigns for the
office one of his opponents was reported to have said, "I lost the
election
to old Chief, but I found out one thing. There
are more liars in Hearne than any place in the world." This opponent
collected the sum total of five votes in the race.
In another election, another opponent of the Chief's is reported
to have
said after the election, "A man who doesn't have any more friends than
I
have should have a permit to carry a gun." This opponent received three
votes.
Chief Griffin retired
from the
office of City Marshal in 1937 after serving in this capacity for 43
years.
After his retirement he remained on the police force as a
'special'
officer up to the time of his death.
During his long tenure
of office,
Chief Griffiin was recognized as one of the most efficient peace
officers of the
state, displaying unusual skill and insight as a detective, capturing
many
fugitives from justice and fearlessly and impartially fulfilled the
duties of
his office. In the early years of Chief
Griffin's service, Hearne was
known as a tough
town being located at the crossroads of two main line railroads.
Many tough characters frequented the town and there were many
saloons
where the usual toughs congregated to settle their differences.
Throughout his long years of service, Hearne citizens looked to
Chief
Griffin for law and order, in fact, the name Chief Griffin, meant law
and order.
He was a courageous
peace officer
and feared no man while he respected the rights of all.
It has been said that he could see a man across the street and
tell
whether he had a gun on or not.
Chief Griffin wore a
big badge, a
large Texas Star, which was presented to him by officials of Anderson
County,
Texas in appreciation for his part in arresting a notorious criminal.
No mob ever took a prisoner from him but twice it was attempted
and he
placed the prisoners on horses and told them to "follow me" and he
took them to another jail and safety.
His knack of spotting
and picking up
criminals earned him statewide notoriety among peace officers, and as a
result
the criminal element soon learned to detour when passing through the
Hearne
territory.
Chief Griffin served
Hearne in the
days when the phrase, "Hearne, Hempstead and Hell" was coined, and in
those days this phrase was to be taken literally.
It meant just what it says ... Hearne was real tough.
The big pearl-handled, silver-plated Colt 45 that Chief Griffin
carried
was a present from a group of Hearne business men and it helped the
Chief in
many occasions in his dealings with the early Hearne desperadoes.
As the years went by
and Chief
Griffin was advanced to the rank of "Hearne Pioneer," there is every
reason to believe that he found happiness and contentment amid the
scenes of a
quiet and law abiding Texas town that he tamed, and loved throughout a
useful
and long life.
With the passing of
Chief Griffin
March 9, 1947, at the age of 80 years, Hearne lost a man who typified
the early
day Texas Marshal - the kind that added such a colorful and glorious
chapter to
the history of Texas.
