Okay, it wasn't easy, but here's what I've come up with. I wish I could find more info. The story looks like it would be very interesting.

Alice Chambers was also known as Toothless Nell and is the only woman buried in Boot Hill Cemetary. She was killed in a Dance Hall brawl in 1876.

If you have any more info on her, I'd love to see it.

Good Job Susan! I was in Dodge City in January and took a picture of the marker in what remains of Boot Hill. Only woman to ever get into that historic grave yard and her well known reputation of being a "soiled dove" helped put her there. Was there anything about Dodge that I didn't like? Yes, the COIN SHOP is CLOSED ON MONDAYS and that is the only day I had to shop!!!

Do you have any more info on Toothless Nell? You've got my curiosity going and I can't find anything else about her on the internet.

Nothing more than she was a "lady of the night" so to speak and was killed in a bar room brawl. I couldn't even find out if the shooting was intentional or accidental. She may have been an innocent bystander who managed to be in the path of a loose bullet but my instincts tell me she was right in the thick of the brawl when someones gun went off? Couldn't find out more but do know she was "well liked" by many but still managed to be the first "soiled dove" (what a polite way of putting it) to ever end up in Boot Hill! That distinction alone would surely warrant a commemorative, wouldn't it?

After finding out only a little about her, I definitely would like to see her on a commemorative coin. The mint would probably include her history with the coin
