Davis "Dave" Tutt (1839 - 1865)
Killed on the town square by James Butler Hickok.
Tutt family descendants claim the gunfight was not over a gambling debt/pocket watch, or even over Hickok's girlfriend Susanna Moore, but rather over his involvement with Tutt's younger sister Lottie Tutt.
Unmarked for many yrs the family claims the grave marked today is actually the grave of Tutt's uncle of the same name. The younger Davis Tutt lies nearby still unmarked. Cemetery records do not settle the claim.
Among the best to ever play the part of Hickok was Jeff Bridges.
