Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.

Samuel Henderson Smith was my grandfather. My father was 8
years old when his father was killed. My grandmother Josie
was left to raise 5 children alone. My father's life was
forever changed due to this tragedy, and my oldest brother
became a police officer himself, following in his grand-
father's footsteps. My brother retired as a police captain
in Franklin, TN. God bless all who have served, and those
who remember the fallen heroes.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the ninety-fifth 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.
