John Wesley Hardin’s Grave Site
The picture shows the grave site of the gunfighter John Wesley Hardin at Concordia Cemetery. He lived from 1853 to 1895. The tag at his grave says: "Born in Bonham, Texas, John Wesley Hardin was named for the founder of Methodism. “Wes” Hardin grew into a family man, cowboy, and outlaw who claimed to have killed more than 30 men. An unusual sort of gunslinger, Hardin considered himself a pillar of society who killed to save his own life. Hardin served 15 years in state prison for murder, was pardoned, then opened a law office in El Paso in May 1895, he was killed 3 month later by John Selman, an El Paso City constable."
