On December 12, 1937, Buford Hayes Pusser was born in Finger, Tennessee. In 1962 he became Adamsville’s Chief of Police. He was elected Sheriff of McNairy County in 1964. Soon his courageous fight against crime exposed him to much danger and may personal injuries. A movie and a book based on Sheriff Pusser’s experiences made him a nationally known hero. He died in an automobile accident here on August 21, 1974.
