Reflections for Railroad Policeman Henry Talcott
Rest in Peace Officers Talcott and Frith. Thank You both for your Service and Sacrifice protecting America's steel roadways.
I Pray that the hounds of hell forever gnaw at the rotting corpses of your murderers. May their souls know no peace. May the flames of hell forever scorch their souls.
Amen.

Policeman Talcott, thank you for helping to protect one of America's greatest assets, it's railroads. Your sacrifice has not been forgotten and yet I find it sadly disgraceful that your murderers were granted a pardon.
On this 122nd anniversary of your murder, may God Bless you and may you eternally Rest in Peace, Brother.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the one hundred and nineteenth 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. The pardon two years after your murder was a travesty of justice.
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....
