Reflections for Watchman Theodore Franklin Wiser
Watchman Wiser,
On today, the 120th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the Union Army as a member of the 5th NY Heavy Artillery Regiment during the Civil War.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your service and sacrifice is honored today, the 114th anniversary year of your death. I am privileged to leave a tribute to you. 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.
Phyllis Lasater Loya

Ms. Gordon, maybe it could be photographed and used to represent Watchman Wiser on this page.
On this, now 113th anniversary of his tragic death, we would appreciate what he looked like.
Thank you.

I am not an officer, but Mr Wiser married a relative of mine. I am in possession of a large portrait of him & would like to give it to one of his descendants. If anyone could help me find them, I would appreciate it. Nancy Gordon

Damn those who beat you and damn those who did not believe those reporting the beating. Though we can never know what truly happened to those who murdered you, at least we know that they went to prison. As for those who disbelieved the ones who wished to get you help, we can only hope they face true justice.
Please forgive my harsheness, but your life was taken so needlessly and it could have been saved.
Thank you for your service to your nation and for the time you spent protecting one of America's greatest assets, it's Railroads. You are a hero.
God Bless you and may your rest continue to be peaceful for all eternity, Brother.
