The rip-roaring days of the Old West are recalled by this big head marker in Boothill Cemetery outside Tombstone, Arizona shown January 3, 1956. The marker reads: “George Johnson Hanged by Mistake”. The cemetery was restored after long years in which it had fallen into disrepair. The 259 graves include those of respected citizens and the numerous men and women who died with their boots on during the rowdy days of the early 1880s, when Tombstone was a wealthy mining town. Old records and the memories of old citizens were called on to identify the graves. Boothill got its name from the many outlaws and victims of outlaws who were caught by sudden and violent death, with no time to take off their boots. Whether among these graves was one of a man named Jack Williams, who “done his damndest”, is a matter of controversy. Former President Harry S. Truman quoted these words from what he said was Williams' epitaph, in 1952. In a few weeks he plans to visit Boothill. (Photo by AP Photo/EDN)
