| I used to fly kites on a portion of where the Prarie Grove Cemetary was.
By the way...it was used by the city but was privately owned. The remains of those on Boot Hill were also moved there but were not allowed to be buried inside the cemetary proper. They were buried on the south west corner outside of the fence. When the city open Maple Grove cemetary all bodies were supposed to be moved there (a number of unmarked were never found just like on Boot Hill).
Fort Dodge and Maple Grove both say they have records of Masterson's grave but both are erroneous. Somewhere under a house or in a back yard of a home located in the north 1400, the 1500 block between Ave C & D...lays the remains of the first lawman murdered in Dodge City. |
