Reflections for Sheriff Jake Mulder

Rest in peace Sheriff Mulder.

Sheriff Mulder was my grandfather. My older brother and I would go to the jail and meet him and grandma to play and eat. O'Brien County was a lot like Mayberry, with grandma cooking for the inmates. As we grew up we would thumb through a huge scrapbook grandma kept. I got my start in law enforcement through these activities.

A couple things the blurb doesn't say is grandpa also served about 30 years as an officer and eventually Chief of Police in Sheldon, Iowa. It doesn't mention he had a hook hand after losing a hand in an industrial accident in the 20's.

I just wanted to give you a little more info on this man.

My grandfather was Jake Mulder. As children, my brother and I would go to the jail and were shown around. Grandma was the cook for the prisoners. I don't remember much of this, my older brother does. O'Brien County was much like the fictional Mayberry.

I have served in law enforcement for the past 37 years in many capacities. Some of my fondest memories are of reading a huge scrapbook as a child and more recently, being presented the badges he wore and his service revolver. Priceless.

Time never dimishes respect, and your memory will always be honored and revered. .

Rest In Peace
