- Through hard work and donations, volunteers have been able to identify and add gravestones to the resting places of many police officers who died in the line of duty.
Rosehill, located in the Ravenswood community, is Chicago's oldest and largest non-sectarian commentary. It's the final resting place for Chicago Police Officer Phillip Robinson killed in the line of duty in 1887. The gravesite is old but the marker is new; it was put there recently by a group of volunteers because the burial took place without one. Norman Schwartz of the Chicago Jewish Historical Society is one of them.
Officer Henry McDowell was killed in the line of duty on September 7th 1892. His marker and others placed by volunteers were donated by Tom Gast of Gast Monuments.
A noble cause to remember our fallen. Especially in light of today's funeral. God Bless Nate Taylor and all of the CPD Officers taken before their Tour was completed.
