It was an HONOR and PRIVILEDGE to be able to research your untimely death and the death of two MPD Officers, Officer Conrad and Lt. Dunigan who were providing assistance to you on behalf of the Charles County Sheriff's Office. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten! Special thanks goes to Kathryn Lynn and the Gillette Famliy. I was lucky enough to find Mary Alice Gillette (cousin) who provided your photograph, 95 years later. Rest in Peace my Brother. Ret. Lt. Edward B. Godwin Sr. #145

It is so good to finally have a photo of you here on your page! I'm sure you are well aware of the efforts of your fellow Charles County Officer to learn more about your life and tragic death and to honor your memory, and of your cousin to provide photos and additional information about you. It took a while, but you can rest in peace knowing that you and your sacrifice were not forgotten.

You spent your life in service to others - including in the fire department of your hometown, in the Navy as a Damage Controlman, and in the Charles County Sheriff's Office. We thank you for that service, and continue to honor your memory.

Be safe and rest in peace.

Found you! It took the combined efforts of several folks, some related to you, some not, but we found you.

For any who are interested, Ptm McParlin is buried with his wife in Hartland Central Cemetery, Hartland, Niagara County, New York. This link - - is to his memorial page on a website called Find-a-Grave.

Be safe, Officer.

And the same to all of you who visit this page.

Deputy McParlin's wife, Ethel Bradley, was a cousin of mine. I knew his name, but, until tonight, did not know of his tragic death. I will be looking for your burial place in Lockport, NY, Deputy. Until I find you, be safe.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 92nd anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace

Lawrence

You were the first CCSO Officer known to have been killed in the line of duty. As the Agency was formed in 1658, we saw the passing of 260 years before our first tragedy. We know that you had only served a few short months before your death in Washington DC. Not much else is known about you, but your name lives on in the hearts of all who wear the badge. Rest in Peace. 80 (retired).

Rest well, Deputy. Jesus Loves You, and so do we!
