\"Gone<\/a>
Gone but no longer forgotten, Bel Air Police searching for family of fallen officer from 1920.
Source: Baltimore Sun, July 8, 2015<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While working on a lecture related to women\u2019s suffrage in Maryland, I tripped across some records about a Bel Air police officer falling in the line <\/a>of duty in 1920. The memory of this tragedy had been lost as time moved on, so I handed the information over to the Bel Air Police Department. A detective immediately got to work on\u00a0documenting the incident.<\/p>\n

To support the department’s investigation, I picked up those fading traces in the historical records.\u00a0 After finishing my fieldwork in Harford County, Annapolis and Baltimore, I provided a historical records report to the agency.<\/p>\n

Recently, Bel Air completed its work and the officer\u2019s ultimate sacrifice\u00a0will no longer forgotten. He is going to\u00a0be listed on the National Law Enforcement Memorial.\u00a0 Over the decades, I have found officers in Wilmington, Clayton, and Crisfield who fell the line of duty, but were never listed on memorials, nor remembered n their communities. In those places, a similar process generally happened.<\/p>\n

The Baltimore Sun and Aegis picked up on the story and wrote an article \u201cGone But No Longer Forgotten, Bel Air Police Searching for Family of Fallen Officer from 1920<\/a>, published on July 8, 2015.<\/p>\n
