Special Officer Charles Freiherr
End of Watch: September 6th, 1895
Charles Freiherr was a painter in Sheboygan and also employed as a “special officer,” to cover regular patrol shifts when officers were on vacation or were out sick. On September 6th, Freiherr was assigned to watch the Ashland Ave Depot in the City of Sheboygan on September 6, 1895. During Officer Freiherr’s shift, witnesses believed Officer Freiherr was looking for people hopping onto railcars without tickets. Another witness thought Officer Freiherr was pursuing someone on foot. A switch engine at the train depot was pushing four box cars north on track number two from the platform. Officer Freiherr stepped between two of the rail cars. A switchman standing on one of the railcars shouted and warned Officer Freiherr of the danger. Officer Freiherr, unfortunately, was struck in the head by one of the railcars and ran over by three railcars.
