Since my grandfather was collecting a pension until his death in 1961, I was able to get some records. This is the address that I had from that time which was about 6-8 years ago. St. Louis Metro Police Department Police Headquarters 1200 Clark Avenue St. Louis MO 63103-2845 (314) 444-5555 (314) 444-5590 Here is an index to St. Louis Policeman up to 1910 but I didn't see a Messina on it. I don't know if it included all active policemen. http://www.stlgs.org/DBgovernmentFirePolicephotos.htm Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
