Joe, it has been several years since I left a reflection. Not that I didn’t want to. I just couldn’t do it. You are my hero. I visit your grave often. Put up wreaths, plant flowers and even sit on a headstone and talk to you. Not sure how I got thru the past 16 years…..you have missed out of so much. I love you and think of you all the time. Until we meet again my dear Son.

Love. Mom

Deputy killed a century ago, honored in ceremony

MEMORIAL UNVEILED — David Corr, himself the father of a slain police officer, unveiled the new memorial plaque for Oneida County Sheriff’s Deputy Charles Krammerlohr, who was killed in the line of duty 100 years ago Thursday. The new memorial will sit alongside Krammerlohr’s original headstone on the right.

UTICA — Killed in the line of duty 100 years ago attempting to stop some bootleggers, Oneida County Sheriff’s Deputy Charles Kammerlohr was honored on Thursday at his gravesite in the Forest Hills Cemetery.

A new memorial plaque has also been added to his plot to mark the centennial anniversary.

According to history, Deputy Charles “Charlie” Kammerlohr and his partner pulled over a suspected bootlegging truck on Whitesboro Street in Utica on July 8, 1921, within the first years of Prohibition. Authorities said Kammerlohr stepped up onto the truck’s running board and was immediately blasted with gunfire, shooting him in the heart.

Officials said Kammerlohr was able to get a few shots off as he fell, wounding both suspects — one of whom would die from his injuries two days later.

Kammerlohr died as he hit the ground, officials said, the first member of the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office to be killed in the line of duty. He was 37.

“Deputy Kammerlohr fought for our community. His sacrifice will never be forgotten,” said Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri at a memorial service on Wednesday.

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Kammerlohr’s death, the Officer Joseph D. Corr Foundation purchased a new memorial plaque and gravestone to sit alongside Kammerlohr’s original headstone at the Forest Hills Cemetery on Oneida Street.

The new plaque and gravestone were unveiled on Wednesday at a small memorial service, attended by local law enforcement leaders and the families of other recently slain officers.

“We do this so that we will keep a promise to never forget their memories,” said David Corr at the ceremony.

New Hartford Police Officer Joseph D. Corr was shot in the line of duty chasing a carload of thieves on Feb. 26, 2006. His parents, David and Kathleen Corr, now run a foundation in his name to memorialize and remember other fallen officers.

David Corr said his organization helped clean up the Kammerlohr plot in the cemetery.

The Corrs were joined on Wednesday by the families of Sheriff’s Deputy Kurt B. Wyman, who was killed on June 7, 2011, and Whitesboro Patrolman Kevin F. Crossley, who was killed on April 11, 2018. Corr said they were unable to find any surviving members of Kammerlohr’s family. The ceremony was attended by members of the Rome, Utica and New Hartford police departments, as well as the state police, Department of Environmental Conservation Police, the Sheriff’s Office and security from Hamilton College.

I remember that night like it was last night. I had just seen Joe the day before because I wanted his opinion about some juveniles in my complex that were troublesome. As always he was smiling and we joked about “teenagers

I thank you for your comments--Offender Rehab Coordinator-Retired. Many people in our hometown will comment about where they were when the news hit about a NHPD Officer killed. It has been some time that I have left a reflection.. I get through the days by planting flowers and making my own wreaths. Nothing will bring him home to us all. Memories are very precious. Hard to believe Joe has been gone for 12 1/2 years. I really miss him terribly . A parent should never have to bury their child. So,, thank you again for your kind remarks..Joe's Mom. Kathy Corr

I remember living in Whitesboro at the time, and watching WKTV in horror. How did this happen in quiet upstate New York? Why did this happen to one of the good guys? I have seen his stone up on Woods Road when I visit my family and best friend, also resting there. I PRAY for peace, comfort, God's Love and Mercy for them.

My daughter just played in Joseph Corr's memorial softball tournament in Mud City. As I sat in my chair waiting to watch my daughters game a man passed by me with a smile and said hello, and I replied hello. My son asked if I knew him, and I said no but he seems to be a very nice man. Just after I had a very nice conversation with a women while watching the game. We remarked about some of the plays both good and challenging. How the easiest of throws can be tough to make. What I did not know is it was Officer Corr's parents until the dedication took place. When they left they wished best of luck in my daughter's season. There is no doubt in my mind that this Officer who dedicated his life to us with his service with the New Hartford Police department was just as genuine and caring as his parents. May God rest his soul for the service he provided to his community and country. What the police across the nation do should never be underestimated! I would like to thank all of you for your service!

Joe, 9 years seems like a very long time but to me it seems like yesterday. I know exactly what I waste doing each and every minute of the 5 days from EOW to the funeral. I miss you like only a. Mother can. No one could ever understand. Except another Mother. Your little squirt is growing to be a beautiful young lady. You would be so proud, Daddy. Gotta go now. I love you Joe. I wish I could have said it a million times before 2/27/06. 8:27 pm. I was so happy being your Mom then and now. Love,Mom
