Wednesday, May 14, 2014, during the start of the Wood County Police Memorial Service held at the Wood
County Court House. Officers representing police departments from throughout the county paid tribute
Wednesday to Wood County officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. The annual memorial
service was held in the atrium of the Wood County Courthouse. It was moved indoors due to inclement
weather. A total of 12 county officers have lost their lives in the line of duty dating back to 1896.
This year, special focus was placed on two fallen North Baltimore officers. In 1896, Patrolman Jesse
Baker was killed in the line of duty and, in 1932, Marshall Jay Davis, was shot and killed while on
duty. This service is sponsored by the Wood County Fraternal Order of Police and the Wood County
Commissioners. (Photos: J.D. Pooley/Sentinel-Tribune) SEE MORE
