William I. Van Arsdale
Police Officer William Van Arsdale drowned after falling into an ice-covered canal while making his rounds of the docks and coal yards.
It is believed that he was attempting to maneuver around a fence when he fell through the ice at approximately 2:00 am. His body was located the next day after a worker noticed a hole in the ice and a hat frozen into the ice nearby.
Officer Van Arsdale was survived by his wife and six children.
