To any interested Woolsey researcher: Does anyone know anything about this Joplin, Missouri policeman? Detective William Woolsey, died 8 Dec 1917. >From ON-LINE: <http://www.joplinpolice.org/fallen.htm> FALLEN HEROS On December 8, 1917, Detective William Woolsey was standing on the 3rd Street Viaduct when Frank Warren and Chub Hardin attempted to rob him and another citizen he was talking to at the time. Although Warren had stuck a pistol in Woolsey's abdomen, the Detective still went for his gun and had even squeezed the trigger before Warren realized what was happening. The Detective's gun did not fire, however, so the Detective pulled the trigger a second time. So did Warren. Both guns fired and both men fell to the ground and died. Chub Hardin was captured later, but because he was a juvenile, he received no harsh punishment. Does this man fit into anyone's family? Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker
