Jasper County Democrat, Volume 17, Number 104, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 April 1915 — Vern Robinson Appointed City Marshal. [ARTICLE]

Vern Robinson Appointed City Marshal.

Mayor Spitler has appointed Vern Robinson as city marshal, to succeed W. H. Shesler, resigned, and he entered upon his duties Sunday. it is predicted that Vern will make a good officer. He is a good worker, and really Rensselaer needs a working marshal more than a dress-par-ade officer. It is all right to put on the pressed “regimentals” and carry the locust of a Saturday and Sunday, perhaps, but in a town as peaceable as Rensselaer, with no saloons and therefore very few drunks, we have very little need for solely a peace officer. There were two other candidates for the place, True Woodworth and J W. Childers.
