Cowboy Statue on Boot Hill

Dr. Oscar Simpson, DDS, pioneer Dodge City dentist and inventor of the gold inlay process for filling teeth(patent finally won

in 1912), had his old pioneer lawman friend, Joe Sughrue, lay in a box

while a mold was made with plaster. Dr. Simpson filled the mold with

concrete. The statue has been on Boot Hill since 1929.
