Patrolman Smith,
On today, the 49th anniversary of your murder, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Wellington. It took two more years, but the piece of scum who murdered you finally got the justice that he deserved.

To my father,

Your life ended so tragically on May 4th, 1957. Although you were taken from me physically I know you have always been with me in spirit. Hardly a day goes by that I don't think of you. I am so proud to be the daughter of Edmund and Margaret Smith. You will always be my hero and never be forgotten.

Love you,
Marcia

Edmund, and family, in Ohio

My grandfather is William John Smith,(Bill) Great Grandfather was Henry Smith, First Cousin and Uncle to Edmund, all from the Rocky River/Olmstead Falls and Avon Lake, Ohio area. I am a police officer, with the Ontario Provincial Police, serving the residents of the province of Ontario since 1988, at the Thessalon OPP Detachment.
I visited the family farms, homes, schools, in Ohio, in 2003 with my Grandfather Bill (Elsie) Smith, and Mother Sallie, and he told me of your sacrifice in the line of duty. Bill still lives here in Thessalon, Ontario, Canada, and speaks of you in the highest esteem and pride.
I can only hope and strive to display the qualities of charactar, professionalism, and conviction that you did.
May the creator guide you.
