Where were they buried? The few cookie crumbs I could uncover:

1. Based upon a letter that William Kruger wrote for Loring’s father, 5 of the men who died at the scene were reportedly buried in Wickenburg on November 6th, 3 hours after a hastily called inquest. 
2. The 6th man, William Salmon, was not discovered until the morning of the 6th and was reportedly buried in a “deep cut in the hillside.” 
3. Later reports claim that his remains were exhumed from the hillside and laid next to the other 5 men several weeks or months later.
4. For unexplained reasons, the local graves of these men were reportedly “disturbed” in 1949 and then disappeared from local records
5. The original location of their presumed graves in Wickenburg is a matter of some conjecture, but would likely have been either the Stone Park Cemetery or the socalled “Lumber Yard” Cemetery (the present location of the Wickenburg Sun). 
6. No other public cemeteries were known to exist at that time and there is no documented proof establishing either cemetery as the burial site for the victims. 
7. Another speculation is that Henry Wickenburg may have donated space for the burials in his private plot. 
8. According to one of the books I researched, “The bodies of the five victims, which were immediately taken to Wickenburg, were interred side by side in the southeast corner of the private graveyard set aside by Henry Wickenburg.” 
9. But if this was the site of interment the graves are no longer there.
10. In the years that followed, the remains were said to have been exhumed and reinterred at least twice to new locations. 
11. The last reinterment may have returned the remains to the original site of the ambush – at least according to legend. 
12. All that said, there’s a very good chance that they are still buried here.

Unfortunately, there are no burial records.
And so it is for poor Molly Sheppard.
No picture, no grave…
All apparently lost to the Sands of Time.

_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upsidedown, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...

This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.

Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.
