The Maurice Wiseman Project 1928 Police Review

The Maurice Wiseman Project 1928 Police Review:

1928 Roanoke City Police Department Review

These pages are taken from the Review of the Roanoke City Police Department Review. L.E. Lookabill was the President of the Junior Fire Company in 1888 as well as a Fireman. Lookabill is seen on page 71 in a picture. He is pictured next to his Leather Fire Helmet, wearing his Leather Belt and a pin in the shape of a traditional Fire Helmet. These three items have been acquired by the History Museum of Western Virginia. They are in exceptional shape and remain to be some of the best kept historical artifacts related to the Fire Service in Roanoke, Virginia. In the article Lookabill speaks of the department from its Volunteer days to the current year 1928.



Check out the new addition to the Roanoke Fire Fighters Association's "Maurice Wiseman Project". Good article from 1928. Explains a lot.
