Like Celeste Ed was also my uncle. I am the son of His Sister, Mary and Celeste is the Daughter of Judy, Ed's and Mary's Sister. My Mother Spoke of him often. My Dad, a California Highway Patrolman frequently played baseball against Ed's team and knew him. However My Dad, Jim Wallace Did not meet my Mom until 1938, a year after Ed had passed.

My Mom and her family have always revered his memory. lHe will always be remembered

If you ever watch the movie, Dirty Harry, you will see the SFPD Memorial with his name on it. This is shown within the first 10 minutes of the movie.

Edward Francis( Brunskull) Flagler was born on Dec. 18 1905 in San
Francisco to Julia Ellen Wall and Albert Richard Brunskull. His
parents divorced in 1908 and Uncle Ed took the surname of his
stepfather Wm. I. Flagler. His birth father was a boiler inspector
for the railroad and went away shortly after the 1906 earthquake and
had no contact with the family after leaving SF.

Uncle Ed was a talented baseball player and was offered a chance to
play professional baseball for the San Francisco Seals, the minor
League baseball team prior to the arrival of the New York Giants in
the San Francisco.

After graduating from Lowell High School, he worked as a photo- engraver before joining the San Francisco Police Department. My
mother stood in the rain watching him direct traffic at the corner of
Stockton & O'Farrell Streets in San Francisco first day he was on
duty. I don't know when he became a police officer but believe it was
after 1929.

Uncle Ed enjoyed classical music and had a fine collection of 78
speed RCA records. I remember my mother playing his records on his
RCA Victrola Phonograph when I was a little girl.

Uncle Ed married Alma May MacFarland July 27, 1935. They had no
children. He died Feb. 8, 1937, which was also his birth fathers'
43rd birthday.

My grandmother was beneficiary on his insurance policy. After he died
my grandmother signed over all his benefits to his widow. Uncle Ed
failed to remove my grandmother from his insurance policy and my
grandmother wanted his widow to be taken care of financially.

Uncle Ed's name is on a memorial marker in the SF Hall of Justice on
Bryant St. in San Francisco. My grandmother, mother and aunt were
invited to the dedication by the PD.( about 1955 )

Uncle Ed was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma California. About
18 months later his widow had his remains transferred to WoodLawn
Cemetery also in Colma. He was interred in a crypt in a wing
decorated with stained glass ceilings and windows crafted by his
stepfather Wm. I. Flagler. I discovered all of this information while
doing family history research after 1993. My grandmother and mother
spoke very little about Uncle Ed...it was too painful for them. I found
photos, papers and other items among my mothers papers after she
passed away in 1993.

The night Uncle Ed was injured my parents were coming back from
seeing a movie in the Mission District of San Francisco. As they
approached the "Bernal Cut" on Alamany Avenue, my dad saw there was
an accident up ahead of them and turned off to avoid being tied up in
traffic. When they arrived home a few minutes later my grandmother
told them about the accident and they went to SF General Hospital
where Uncle Ed died 2 days later.

California Peace Officers killed in the line of duty are memorialized
in Sacramento near the capital building. The website is:

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to post information about my
Uncle Ed ( Eddy to the family ) He died before I was born.
