Officer Rank: Deputy City Marshal
Memorial Panel: 20-W: 32
Department: Trenton, Missouri, P.D.
End of Watch: 01/06/1877
Cause: Gunfire
Age: 37

Deputy Marshal of Trenton, Grundy, Missouri, USA.
1-18-1877
Grant City Star
Grant City, Worth, Missouri, USA
Deputy Marshal Richard T Blew received a shot from the pistol of Dr. J. A. Webster, resulting in his death. It appears that Dr. Webster and some other parties were drinking, and while in the street north of the City Drug Store, he drew out his revolver and threatened to shoot, perhaps not knowing what he was doing.
Deputy Marshal Blew undertook to take the revolver from him, when it went off, the ball entering the abdomen of the Marshal, causing his death. He lived until 6 o'clock Sunday Morning, and expired. The unfortunate man stated several times before he died that the shot was purely accidental.
When first spoken to be stated that if it killed him he had only one request to make of the Doctor, and that was, that he would quit drinking whiskey. --Trenton Republican.
