Michael,
I forgot how to add a note to the male descendants.

Obit for DeWitt C. Cooley

Deputy Dewitt Cooley was killed while checking the locks on the cells in the
jail. One of the prisoners had managed to pry open his cell door with a crowbar
and struck Deputy Cooley from behind. Deputy Cooley lay unconscious for several
hours until his wife came to the jail and found him. She was also attacked by
the three escaping prisoners.

The suspect was convicted of Deputy Cooley's murder and sentenced to life.

Deputy Cooley had been with the agency for three years. He was survived by his
wife and two children.
