Great shot and the last time I read those words was on our honeymoon which will be 55 years ago in March.

If the bullets had't killed him, all the rocks they piled on top of him would have.

In that part of the country, many rocks means a shallow grave and the rocks are to keep coyotes and wolfs from digging up the departed.

Notable grave markers but fictitious burials

In order to attract tourists, some of the Boot Hill grave sites are falsely marked, and fictitious claims of burials have been made by the cemetery's various operators over the years.

Lester Moore, with the famous epitaph "Here lies Lester Moore, Four slugs from a .44, No Les No more." Lester Moore was purportedly a Wells, Fargo & Co. station agent in the border town of Naco who died in a shootout with Hank Dunstan over a mangled package. There was never anyone named Lester Moore who was killed in Arizona Territory, and there is no evidence to indicate where Dunstan (who also died in the purported shootout) was buried.
