The famous headstone epitaph in the Boot Hill cemetery in Tombstone, Arizona reads:

"Here lies Lester Moore, Four slugs from a .44, No Les No more."

From Wikipedia: Lester Moore was purportedly a Wells, Fargo & Co. station agent in the border town of Naco who died in a shootout with Hank Dunstan over a mangled package.

Problem is, there was never anyone named Lester Moore who was killed in Arizona Territory and there is no evidence to indicate where Dunstan (who also died in the purported shootout) was buried.

Local officials made up the epitaph, along with others, to attract the tourist trade to the sleepy town of Tombstone.
