I am so thankful for this web-site. As my family pieces together questions we have about our ancestors, we ran across the information about our grandfather, Clark Minor Irven was killed in Canton, Missouri on October 19, 1889. He was born in Ohio in 1834 and was married to Eliza M. Sterrett (July 30, 1854-May 15, 1942). Together, they had several children and many grandchildren.

Without this page to honor the fallen, we would have never known the details of his death. Having this information led us to the newspaper articles in Canton, Missouri and has provided great information; thank you!

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....
