If my history and memory are correct, Ed Masterson is the brother to the famous Bat Masterson who is the brother mentioned in this article. Ed and Bat both came to work in Dodge City when they were called upon by their other famous Wild West friend Wyatt Earp. Wyatt, Ed, and Bat worked together even before becoming members of law enforcement. Rest in Peace sir, it's been so many years but your legend lives on forever.

It would be a fitting tribute to dedicate and name the Dodge City Police Headquarters building in honor of Marshal Edward J. Masterson, the first Dodge City officer to die in the line of duty.

Thank you for your service Sir, you were A true American Hero, Marshal Masterson. You servred brave during Lawless times as stated. I feel close and like I knew you even though it's been over a 130 years. My Great Grandmother who died back in 1996 at age 101 years, traveled her entire life and claims to have meet ex- marshal Wyatt Earp in the early 1900's who talked highly about you and your brothers. I heard all kinds of stories growing up. May you RIP and I hope to meet you one day Sir.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the one hundred and thirty first 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.
Rest In Peace.
