NOTE:* Walter E. Meek was the youngest sheriff ever elected to office in the history of Johnson
       County. He was well liked by almost everyone. While out doing his duties in 1966, he was
       killed by a man he was trying to serve a warrant on. A story of this shooting is available
       online at  Bob Marsh's "JOHNSON COUNTY HISTORY"   website (tragedies), and is very
       interesting reading.
