The Iowa State Trooper slain last week was laid to rest yesterday, as officers from all over the country saluted as they filed by Sergeant Jim Smith’s flag-draped casket.

As is customary, a final radio call for Smith was played to conclude the service.

Smith, who was 51, leaves behind a wife, a daughter and a son. Smith’s family has established a memorial fund to finance a scholarship in his name.
