Reflections for Police Officer Peter Poull, Jr.
Peter Poull, Sr. is my great-great-great grandfather, so I stumbled on this story while researching the family tree.
As a retired military policeman and genealogy enthusiast, I felt compelled to act when I saw this man's ruined grave marker. The replacement was financed by a generous donor, Johnsons Auto Repair of Moorhead, MN.

On today, the 123rd anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Moorhead. It took another year but your murderer finally got the justice that he deserved.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 121rst 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Rest In Peace

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003). Unfortunately, I had to add the name of another friend recently. Deputy Jeffery Hewitt, Buncombe County (NC) Sheriff’s Department, E.O.W. April 4, 2004.
I want to honor all of those who gave their life in the line of duty. Although your death was many many years ago, you are still a hero.
God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.
...Gone, but never Forgotten....
