Gone But Not Forgotten: Memorial Service Honors 19th Century Wardens Killed in Line of Duty
Sarah Craighead Dedmon
Not far from the Whiting farm where he was raised, Lyman O. Hill’s descendents last week gathered with representatives from six law enforcement agencies and the state house to honor Hill and cousin Charles Niles, the first two Maine Game Wardens to die in the line of duty. Together with his parents, wife, and children, Hill is buried in his family cemetery, overlooking Gardner Lake.
