We're Proud to Help!


The Pensacola News Journal reports this morning that after 67 years, a fallen Pensacola Police officer, Edward O'Brien Pursell, will be honored by being added to the Pensacola Police Department's memorial for fallen officers.  The article reports that Cindy Cherry began doing research on her grandfather in the archives at the University of West Florida.   Finding a 1944 article from the Pensacola News Journal about his heart attack after arresting a person who attacked him, Cindy found more information in a police docket showing that he died in the line of duty.   Congratulations Cindy!
