I wonder how many tombstones there are in boothill?
I was just searching the archives for something,saw a couple names I hadn't seen in awhile. Tombstoned. Searched some more. More tombstones. It'd be interesting to see how many didn't make it.

6. The one on the left — Billy Clanton — I'm related to him
He was killed in the OK Corral gunfight with the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday in 1881. His brother, Ike, escaped, but was killed in 1887.

They were cattle rustlers, horse thieves and maybe a few other things. :)

I'm not into genealogy, but if anyone wants to trace the pedigree, my mom's mom was Cordie Ethel Sharp, b. 1885. She married Elbert Clanton, or maybe W.E. Clanton.
