What is the history of Memorial Day? It began as a holiday to honor fallen Civil War soldiers and has since expanded to honor all veterans and non veteran loved ones alike.

Honoring River View resident Lola G. Baldwin who On April 1st, 1908, was sworn in as the nation’s first female police officer. She became involved with the Travelers Aid Society in 1905, a human services network that particularly fought for the safety of single, vulnerable, female travelers.  She did incredible work to improve conditions so that women and young girls could experience the same safety and opportunities of men at the time. Nicknamed, “The Municipal Mother,” she demonstrated to the country that women can make incredibly effective police officers.
