Death in the West

Here are some Wild West tomb stone Epitaphs

Here lies Lester Moore.
Four slugs
From a forty-four.
No Les
No More.
Boot Hill Cemetery, Tombstone, Arizona

He was young
He was fair
But the Injuns
Raised his hair
Colorado

Bill Blake
Was hanged by mistake.
Boot Hill Cemetery, Tombstone, Arizona

Here lays Butch.
We planted him raw.
He was quick on the trigger
But slow on the draw.
Silver City, Nevada

Here lies a man named Zeke.
Second fastest draw in Cripple Creek.
Cripple Creek, Colorado

Toothless Nell (Alice Chambers)
Killed 1876 in a Dance Hall brawl.
Her last words: "Circumstances led me to this end."
Boot Hill Museum, Dodge City, Kansas

He called
Bill Smith
A Liar
Cripple Creek, CO

On a hanged man
Rab McBeth
Who died for the want
of another breath.
1791-1823

Where's the rest of his body?
