Shelton police recounted the 1936 death of Marshall Louis H. Jacobs and invited the public to attend his induction into the Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial on May 2.
A department representative told the council that Louis H. Jacobs sustained fatal injuries while attempting an arrest in downtown Shelton in August 1936. The speaker described Jacobs’s service history and said the department will present Jacobs’s family with a Medal of Honor at the Olympia ceremony. A reception is scheduled at 2 p.m. in the Columbia Room at the Capitol Building, with the memorial ceremony expected to begin at about 4 p.m., the speaker said.
The presentation asked community members to attend and noted the department’s continuing work to locate descendants; staff said they planned to seek community assistance through social media to verify family contact information.
