A Lee County, Iowa lawman I would like to pay tribute to is Norman Dale Juhl, the only policeman killed in the line of duty while serving on Keokuk's police department. At 12:45 a.m. on October 14, 1949, a call came into the police department about a suspicious person behind the George Koch Buick Agency on North 9th, the site of today's Coffee Grounds building. Juhl, driving car #61, heard the dispatchers radio call and headed for the auto agency. Upon arriving, he turned off his engine and coasted silently to the curb. He drew his revolver and entered the shadows behind the garage. Within minutes, several shots rang out and Patrolman Juhl slumped to the ground with two bullets in his lower abdomen. A woman who had phoned the first report called a second time stating that from her kitchen window she could see a man lying on the ground, saying that she thought it was a policeman. Instantly, a general alarm was sounded and all Keokuk police officers headed towards the garage. Upon arriving, officers found Juhl unconscious and immediately started a search of the area for the shooter, but found no one. It was determined later that Officer Juhl had fired five time with his revolver before passing out. Patrolman Juhl was transported to Graham Hospital and lingered near death for eight days, finally succumbing on October 22nd. Funeral services were held at Schmidt Memorial Home with hundreds of friends and area law enforcement personnel attending. The Gate City reported that an "unusually large proportion of those attending joined the cortege to the Montrose Cemetery where burial was made." The search and subsequent arrest and conviction for Juhl's killer took three years to complete. Through great detective work, Keokuk police officers finally found their man, one Lloyd Woodson, who was serving time in Joliet Penitentiary in Illinois, prison on a 1950 burglar conviction. They drove to Joliet when Woodson was released in June of 1952 and arrested him at the prison gates. On September 5, 1952, Woodson was sentenced to life imprisonment at the Fort Madison penitentiary. He was released in the early 1990's due to ill health and died shortly thereafter. Norman Dale Juhl's name is on the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C.
