We visited Boothill Cemetery just outside town. This cemetery was begun in 1879 and used for five years. The local folks call this cemetery “The Old Cemetery.” “Legend has it that Boothill was named for the fact that many residents there died violent or unexpected deaths and were buried with their boots on”.
As we walked through this cemetery, we noticed several graves markers said “unknown” Among the more descriptive grave markers, we found the OK Corral ‘bad guys’, Billy Clanton and the McLaurys, buried side by side. http://www.tombstoneweb.com/history.html
