In his sermon father Divine announced a brilliant eulogy one Patrolman Tuohy, saying that he was a man who was faithful to his duties. A delegation of 40 policeman from the central district attended the funeral. The pallbearers were for patrolman from that district and Mrs. Charles Lutz, Charles Miller, Senior., Charles Miller, Junior., And Benjamin DeRosa, of Zita conclaves, improved order of the Heptasophs, of which Patrolman Tuohy was a member. Burial was at Bonnie Bray Cemetery.

Among the many flowers sent was a large cross of roses from the men of the central district. Many persons who admit Patrolman Tuohy while he was a member of the traffic squad called at his home to express sympathy. Among them was Mgr. William A. Starr, of Corpus Christi church. Mgr. Starr conveyed to the members of the family the sympathy of Cardinal Gibbons, who, Mgr. Starr said, had learned to know Patrolman Tuohy as he stood at the Fayette and Charles Streets corner and had become an in Meyer of the efficient and courteous way in which he performed his duties

The Baltimore Police Historical Society put this and other articles on this website together using research from old newspapers, old books, photos, and artifacts.

We rely more heavily on books written at or near the time of the incident we are researching or writing about. We do not put too much weight on the more recently written history books, or books that have been written with a biased opinion or agenda.

We try not to tell our readers what to think about our past as much as we tell a story with hopes of our readers forming their own opinions. That said, ever so often we come across a story that to us is so exciting that we might express that in our writings. but we hope our readers will form their own opinions based on the information written at the time, not information that was added years later using a filtered history that has been twisted and pulled in the direction of various storytellers that may or may not have had their own agendas.
