Reflections for Police Officer William Sheahan

He was my Great Grandfather. The City of St. Louis, Missouri has refused to acknowledge his death while on duty. It was documented in the St. Louis newspapers. I guess a part-time officer doesn't matter.

On today, the 125th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of St. Louis. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

My Great Grandfather. Thanks for creating the memorial. As far as I know
His sacrifice is not acknowledged by St. Louis city police memorials.
