Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

My Grandfather did not die of a heart attach as the newspaper states . The back of his head was beaten during the Union Truck riots in 1934. This was discovered during his autopsy at Gearty-Delmore Funeral Parlor, yes they were relatives. My Grandmother Alice Gearty, President of the Women's League of Voter, had to pursue the Mpls Police Department for full benefits of a fallen officer. I never new her well, I was three when she passed away, but I know she was one smart lady.

This Officer was my Grandfather. His death left an empty hole in my mothers heart. He was attacked during the riots in Minneapolis and died as a result. My Grandmother, my Mother and her Brother are with him now and our family will always remember.
