Between 1867 and 1874 more than eighty persons were buried on the original Boot Hill. Dozens had died "with their boots on" as victims of knife, gun, or rope. In the days when Wild Bill Hickok, Buffalo Bill, and Calamity Jane lived in Hays City, the bodies of sheriffs, state representatives, and other slain citizens rested there alongside those of murderers, horsethieves, and loose women. Sheriff Hickok himself sent Bill Mulvey and Sam Strawhim to the hill in 1869. Others buried there included Hon. J. V. MacIntosh, Hon. John F. Wright, Postmaster Jim Hare, George Clinton, Pony Donovan, Cornelius Doyle, Ed Estes, D. W. Gann, Jim Gannam, G. Gunn, Charlie Harris, Jim Hayes, Jack Hill, Deputy U.S. Marshal Joe N. Weiss, Sheriff Tom Gannon, Sheriff Pete Lanahan, Ed Hoge, Bob Louden, Billy Mark, Jack McGee, Bob McGrady, John Robinson, Mike Ryan, Miss Lou Sherwood, and Jessie MacIntosh. About half the bodies still lie there, while the others were moved to Mt. Allen Cemetery.
