Roll of Honor
Charles Hendrickson Null
Incident
Constable Charles Null was shot and killed in an ambush while en route to court to testify against cattle thieves. Two of the suspects eventually confessed to the murder and fled the area. The third suspect, who paid the two others to murder Constable Null, was killed by Constable Null's son in revenge for the original murder.
It has been 126 years since you left this earth. You will always be remembered as a man who was a stranger to fear, a friend to bravery, and a relation to justice.
