On December 30, 1924, Patrolman Benjamin F. Law, though off duty, responded to a report of a robbery at Foltz’s Grocery at 19th and Russell.  The robber shot Patrolman Law five times.  He died six days later on January 5, 1925. The murderer was never caught.

We believe that Patrolman Law survived his first wife, Margaret, and that his second wife, Mary (42), survived him, along with his four children, Irene (19), Farrell (15), Francis (11), and Schadler (10).
