    I am guessing that a good part of the cemetery is unconsecrated. Let me know otherwise? There is a Catholic section, and a Jewish section here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Moriah_Cemetery_(South_Dakota)

      I would love for you to visit Bodie California in the Eastern Sierras. You will not be disappointed I will bet my horse and hat on that fact. It would be wonderful if you do to read a few books on the people that lived there. One by Ella Cain, and another my favorite person Rosa May by George Williams
      the third. Please You will not be disappointed.

      @@lauriewarner4848 Thanks for this information. I just happen to be going to Bodie in 2 weeks and will be taking photographs (again) in HD and 8k video. I will research your authors books and see what I can dig up (figuratively). Bodie is a land of extreme temperatures for sure and well worth the visit. The turnoff to Bodie is located on US395 between Lee Vining and Bridgeport. Its about a 10 mile drive on gravel road from the turnoff. There is a year round Park Ranger living there.

    A point of interest is she was only 27 when she died so to live such a life and be married 5 times was pretty crazy. Wow dying at such a young age and do all she did is pretty insane.

      Not to be judgmental, however it bothers me when I hear the stories that someone that has died young and committed such crimes could not go to heaven. I’m a Christian and believe my sins are paid for, and it bothers me to think that these people are might not have asked to be forgiven of their sins from Jesus Christ and will reside in hell forever.

    Very enjoyable story, Ron. It sounds like Kitty was a real gold digger. Robbed men blind of their gold under their noses. Beautiful cemetery. With it being on sloped land, it's interesting how the plots were leveled off with blocks of stone. I hope someone gives you the actual whereabouts of her burial site.

    Interesting story, Ron. What a life she led. I wonder whatever became of the original tombstone they had in that 1st cemetery? Maybe it was stolen? He must have loved her to be able to take his own life as well as hers. And maybe, just maybe, she loved him as well, and she knew things would not end well for them both, hence the will she had drawn up.

He didn't need to kill her, but oh well he wanted revenge and I'm sure he's not resting and kitty...who knows. Thank you for sharing this story with us all.

Also the Seminole Indian actor Will Sampson who played Ten Bears in “The Outlaw Jody Wales” and “ One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. His grave has what’s called a Spirit House built on top of it very interesting.

    Deadwood is definitely on my list to go see! What a beautiful cemetery, so unique. I was thinking as you described the history of Deadwood and the reasons people went there, that the danger must have seemed glamorous in some strange way. You painted the picture for sure of a place where it was survival of the fittest and, the best card sharp, the fastest gun. Kitty seemed like a wild free spirit who took her chances, used people, played a rough game which she ultimately lost. Too bad Sam didnt just cut his losses and move on. Maybe they deserved each other. Fascinating story and well told Ron!

Another celebrity in Deadwood to bring tourism. They survive a lot off of tourism. It is such a cool place. Lots of history and infamy.
