Today we honor, remember, and pay tribute to Republic Town Marshal Mark Noe, whose End of Watch was June 2, 1929.

On June 2, 1929, Town Marshal Noe conducted a traffic stop involving two individuals on Main Street. During the stop, Marshal Noe was tragically shot and killed in the line of duty.

His courage, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten. We continue to honor his memory and the service he gave to his community.
