Reflections for Town Marshal Walter G. Nicholas
115 years today you were murdered by a belligerent patron at a restaurant. Your service and sacrifice are honored today. You will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace Marshal Nichols.
As for the patron. Justice was truly served. The suspect was shot by the marshal and was in a dying condition when angry citizens seized and hanged him.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 98th 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

On the 100th anniversary of Marshal Nichols' death, we honored his service in our patrol briefing by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job. Marshal Nichols is not forgotten.
