Samuel E. Ankenmann


Provincial Constable #3000
Ontario Provincial Police
16th September 1928 - 29th June 1968

Picture
  Sam Ankenmann was born on September 16, 1928 and grew up on the family farm just east of the village of Shakespeare. He was twenty-seven years old when he was successful in a bid to be appointed to the O.P.P. on June 4, 1956. He served a while at Sauble Beach detachment. Sam’s next and last posting was Sebringville detachment. He and his family had a happy life in the area and Sam always seemed to find something to smile about.

On the night of June 29th, 1968, the twelve-year veteran of the O.P.P. was alone in his marked cruiser. At about three forty-five a.m. he was patrolling westbound on Highway 7-8 toward Stratford. There were intermittent patches of dense fog that night and this condition may have played part in what happened next.

At a point in North Easthope Township, the police car did not follow the road as it curves to the south. Constable Ankenmann applied his brakes but his vehicle skidded and the right side went up into a seven-foot ditch, ploughed along for a short distance, bounced up and rolled over in a field and caught fire.

Two young men from the area pulled Constable Ankenmann clear from the burning vehicle. Sadly it was later determined that he was dead on impact.

Sam was survived by his wife and two sons.

Sam loved children and the donation in his name has gone to the Windmill Campground, where Candace Burnham (13) was lost to SCA in May of 2015.
