June 27, 1900 - July 12, 1935

Hired as a residential patrolman to patrol the southeast end of the city, Joseph Horald Quigley had completed his rounds and was being driven home by two other officers when they came upon three men attempting to steal gasoline from a parked car. Quigley jumped out of the police car and gave chase, then jumped into the rear seat of a roadster, which had been parked nearby as it sped away. The other officers heard three shots and returned to find Quigley's lifeless body in a pool of blood at 23rd Street and Monroe. From her home, Edith Quigley heard the shots, which ended her husband's life. At the time of his death, 35-year-old Quigley had been a residential patrolman for four years. His four children ranged in age from 2 to 10, and Edith gave birth to a daughter the month following his death.
