The gymnasium proved the only space in the vicinity large enough to hold the numbers of police officers and firefighters who joined families and communities to honor their fallen comrades. On January 18 a service was held for Robert M. Jones, sheriff of Waldo County and a volunteer firefighter in Unity. Jones died of a probable heart attack during a tragic house fire that killed six-year-old triplets in Unity. The crowd was estimated at 2,000.
