| My great grandfather who was an attorney at the time Wyatt Earp was sheriff, said they were all crooks and outlaws. Of course, they had to be as tough as the ppl they were dealing with. All operated on the shady side of the law.
My grandfather, who was city engineer for 50 yrs or so, told of putting in the water and sewer lines and having to relocate the graves in the old cementary. Mostly just found a few bones and wooden box remains. So I would imagine that many of the graves were never exhumed but simply covereed with streets and houses as the headstones were prob sketchy at best.
Those linew were dug by hand and everyone was so spoooky digging and finding bones, etc. Many funny stories bout finding them in the late evenings and ppl never coming back to work the next day.
