ROXBURY, NJ A Roxbury police chief who was killed in a 1929 motorcycle accident is among the law enforcement officers honored this week for losing their lives in the line of duty.

Plumstead, a 29-year-old Kenvil resident and father of five young daughters, couldn’t stop in time to avoid a truck stopped on a road in Mine Hill while its operator worked on its lights, said the obituary.
