Deputy Marshal John Sellers of Shelby was killed in the line of duty in 1897, but nearly 130 years later, his sacrifice is finally being formally recognized. At this year’s Ohio Peace Officers Memorial Ceremony, Sellers was one of two historical honorees whose names were added to the Fallen Officers Memorial Wall. In this episode, we revisit his remarkable life, from enlisting in the Union Army as a teenager to serving his small town with quiet dedication, and explore why remembering officers like Sellers still matters today.
