Sheriff Hamilton B. Dickson was shot and killed by an escaped outlaw in Wharton County in 1894. I grew up near the thicket he was murdered 3 miles from Egypt, Texas. It is very real to me to be able to visualize what this great man sacrificed in the line of duty. Although we call the thicket, Braddock's Thicket after the outlaw that murdered him, he is permanently memorialized with a monument on the Wharton County Courthouse Square. May he always be remembered.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003). Unfortunately, I had to add the name of another friend recently. Deputy Jeffery Hewitt, Buncombe County (NC) Sheriff’s Department, E.O.W. April 4, 2004.

I want to honor all of those who gave their life in the line of duty. Although your death was many many years ago, you are still a hero.

God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....

You are not forgotten! We will continue to do the job in your honor and in memory of you and all who laid down their lives so that we could live in a civilized society. We are stronger because of you. Rest in peace.

It has been over one hundred years since your passing...Law Enforcement has come so far...yet men must still put on the badge and go hunt down those who prey on society. Your efforts will not be forgotten, nor will the sacrifice that you made so long ago. I only hope that you are looking down from Heaven with as much admiration for those of us who wear the badge today...as we have for your legends.


May you now rest in peace. God bless your soul.
