Whose Gravestone?

Nor give the heart to vain regret;
Tis but the casket that lies here
The gem that filled it sparkles yet."

Looks like that one was way too easy - you're all right.  Gotta do some diggin'
for something that'll provide some challenge for you folks.  Feel free to add some.

Here lies ______ _______
Hanged by mistake in 1882

We was wrong
But we strung him up
And now he’s gone

While were all dazzling each other here, I am sure everyone is familiar with Lester Moore

Here lies Lester Moore
shot 4 times
with a 44
 no less
no more

My question is how many places (location) was he shot and killed,I know of 2 Virginia City Mt, and Tombstone

There's one at Calico Ghost town, outside of Barstow, CA. 
I guess that make at least three.  Moore or Les.
