Harrison O. Waxham
Excerpt from The Boulder Daily Camera, 12 July 1936

   Harrison O. Waxham, 47, former Boulder policeman, deputy sheriff, and district attorney's special investigator, was found dead in his car on the old Maxwell ranch five miles north of Nederland and a mile off the main highway Sunday morning shortly before 8 o'clock.
   Waxham is survived by his wife, the former Ethel Fox; two daughters; and two brothers.
   His father, Herbert O. Waxham, Civil War veteran, died here Oct. 12, 1935, and his mother died Dec. 10, 1932. Harrison Waxham was the administrator of his father's estate.
   Harrison O. Waxham was born Jan. 4, 1889 at Des Moines, Iowa, moved to Colorado with his parents when he was a small boy, and came to Boulder from Weld county about 1916. He drove a sightseeing car for some time and in December, 1920, joined the Boulder police force, serving until Dec. 1, 1923.
   After working for a time as a salesman for Jack Grant at the Buick agency, he became a deputy sheriff and was assigned as traffic officer, spending nearly all of his working hours patrolling the highways. In 1927 he ran an unsuccessful race for sheriff and in the following year worked as a special investigator for District Attorney Kirkbride.
   After that Waxham was re-employed as a county traffic officer, serving under the county commissioners rather than the sheriff, until 1932. For about two years after that he was associated with Middlesworth in operating a string of saddle horses, and he had been working as a liquor salesman for about two years.
   The funeral service was held at 2 o'clock this afternoon at Green Mountain cemetery, with Rev. C.S. Linkletter officiating. Members of the family and several police officers and former sheriff's officers attended.
