Thousands Pay Tribute To Officer Wm. Pat. O'Malley
City Offices are Closed in the Morning
Ranks of Uniformed Police Guard for Honor to the Dead
East Chicago and Lake County citizens today express their grief over the death of Police Officer William Patrick O'Malley, who lost his life Monday afternoon in the holdup at the First National Bank when thousands surrounded St. Mary Church and lined the route of the monster cortege on its way to Calvary cemetery.
City, County and State officials attended the services and a guard of Police and Fire officers from all surrounding cities of the region and the state were on duty.
The funeral services were held from the home at 8:30 o'clock to St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church on 144th St. and Indianapolis Boulevard with Rev. Edward S. Vurpiltat officiating.
The Police guard, which preceded the cortege was led by a guard of 30 motorcycle officers and a color guard of Veterans of Foreign Wars and delegations from the Fraternal Order of Police Chapter of the Region.
Chief of Police Nicholas Maker and heads of the region Dept. headed the ranks of Police Officers, followed by a guard from the Fire Department, headed by Assistant Chief Art Newtown.
As the cortege approached the church it traveled between ranks of uniformed officers and the casket was carried in to the church under crossed flags and the color of the police fraternity.
Following the impressive rites at the church the funeral party traveled along Indianapolis Boulevard, and was escorted to the city limits by the marching officers.
Offices at the City Hall were closed during the hour of the funeral by orders of the Mayor, and every mark of respect and official mourning was paid as a tribute to the bravery of the slain officer.
