Herbert W. "Bert" Minnick
Herbert W. Minnick served in the U.S. Army.
Deputy Game Warden Bert Minnick was accidentally shot and killed at Bell's Corner, 3-1/2 miles north of Rockford, while checking a pheasant hunter for a license at 10 am.
The man cradled his 12-gauge shotgun in his arms, and as he reached into his pocket to get the license, the shotgun discharged, striking Warden Minnick in the stomach. Warden Minnick died as he was being transported to his home.
The county coroner ruled the shooting was accidental and the hunter was not charged.
Warden Minnick was a United States Army veteran of WWI and had served with the Spokane County Game Commission for two years.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Deputy Game Warden Minnick gave the Spokane County Game Commission 2 years.
Thank you for your service to the Spokane community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
