Rest in Peace, Marshal Conniff. As a resident of Eastern Washington, I was saddened not only to read of your death but to learned your name is not honored as it should be. I learned of you through the book Breaking Blue, and the fate you suffered is not one I will soon forget. I hope and pray that Alma learned the truth after she departed this earth, and that George, Mary and Olive finally received the peace they had been waiting for. You were a fine man, Marshal Conniff, and you will forever live on in the words of others.
Rest easy.

After reading the reflection left for you by Sgt. Fitzgerald, I further researched your death and was so saddened to learn of the circumstances and people behing your murder. The great majority honor the badge they wear but a few disgrace it and themselves. You were in the first category, it seems your killer was in the other.

RIP, George. You did not deserve this fate nor did you earn it. The men who took your life betrayed you and the solemn vow we all take. God Bless You, Sir.
The death of Officer (Marshal) Conniff was detailed in the book "Breaking Blue" which chronicles the investigation conducted by the (then) Sheriff of Pend Oreille County, Tony Bamonte, who in 1985 began investigating the 50 year old unsolved and virtually non-investigated homicide of Marshal Conniff. I would encourage people to get an understanding of this crime and who the perpetrators were. This murder was shameful and inexcusable.

Being from a nieghboring community this hits home with me. Its a shame that it took 50 years for this officer to finally be able to rest in peace. Your service is not forgotten, and hopefully will never be. Rest in peace brother we will take if from here.

You served and sacrificed. God holds a special place for those who give their lives in service of others. I guess you know that already. God Bless and Keep You Always.
