Officer Down Memorial Page

For Fellow Historians:

Back in the 1890's, Ardmore was nearly completely destroyed by fire. Much of the restoration was due to the discovery of oil. Ironically, oil and its byproducts also led to the great destruction that killed Patrolman Smith, and at least forty-nine other people.

Patrolman Smith may You Rest-In-Peace.
