Fidelis ad mortem - Faithful Unto Death - the Motto of the NYPD. Research disclosed that a child of his (he left a wife and daughter), who was under guardianship, and was receiving money from the Police Pension Fund, died on December 23, 1879. I wonder if the mother pre-deceased her or if the child was placed in guardianship. The annual payment was $150.00 & the death payout $259.58. It appears that a local FOP Lodge maintains the headstone with volunteers.

On July 19, 2003, the County Executive of Orange County, NY proclaimed that July 19 will be forever known as Edward Dippel Day in Orange County.
