Remembering Officer Joseph E. Kuhn, Maryland State Police | EOW: 4/8/1934

Today we acknowledge the eighth name on the memorial wall located in Rhodesdale, Maryland. This state trooper is the first motorcycle officer to pass in the line of duty on the eastern shore. Officer Kuhn served 1 year and 8 months of service from August 15, 1932 to April 8, 1934. His motorcycle crashed into the rear of a wagon without regulation rear lights, and it is believed that he was blinded by the bright headlights of an oncoming vehicle. Kuhn's sidecar hit a wheel of the wagon and he was thrown from the motorcycle onto the concrete roadway near Mardela Springs outside of Salisbury. Source: MSP Facebook page
