Many <br />descendants of Victor Helburg attended the <br />groundbreaking ceremony for the Louisville Law <br />Enforcement Memorial at Helburg Park. Victor Helburg <br />was shot and killed in downtown Louisville on October <br />28, 1915 while serving as a marshal for Louisville. His <br />assassin was never apprehended. Fortunately, Helburg <br />remains the only Louisville law official to have died in <br />the line of duty. <br />Members of the Helburg family, a group of dedicated <br />citizens, and Louisville police officer Robert Sampson <br />began raising funds for the memorial over three years <br />ago. The Louisville City Council and the Louisville <br />History Foundation provided financial support for the <br />memorial, and to date, over 80 people and businesses <br />have generously donated over $40,000 to help make it a <br />reality. <br />The Louisville Law Enforcement Memorial at Helburg <br />Park will serve to honor the memory of Victor Helburg <br />and any future Louisville police officer who makes the <br />ultimate sacrifice. <br />Councilman Hank Dalton, Helburg great- <br />granddaughter Cheryl Lewis, Michael <br />Menaker, Mayor Bob Muckle, and Police <br />Chief Dave Hayes participated in the <br />groundbreaking for the memorial next to the <br />Louisville Police Station. <br />Don't Miss an Issue of <br />The Louisville Historian <br />Membership in the Louisville History Foundation is a <br />must for those interested in Louisville's unique history <br />and cultural character!
