=== Burial === Holliday is buried in Linwood Cemetery overlooking Glenwood Springs. Since Holliday died in November, the ground might have been frozen. Some modern authors such as Bob Boze Bell<ref>{{cite book | last1=Bell| first1=Bob Boze| title=The Illustrated Life and Times of Doc Holliday| date=1995| publisher=Tri Star-Boze Publications| location=Phoenix| isbn=1887576002| edition=Second}}</ref> speculate that it would have been impossible to transport him to the cemetery, which was only accessible by a difficult mountain road, or to dig a grave because the ground was frozen. Author Gary Roberts located evidence that other bodies were transported to the Linwood Cemetery at the same time of the month that year. Contemporary newspaper reports explicitly state that Holliday was buried in the Linwood Cemetery, but the exact location of his grave is uncertain.<ref name=roberts2006/>{{rp|403β404}} Though there is no official evidence of this, some claim that Holliday's father, Major Henry Holliday, a man of means and influence, had his son exhumed and re-buried in Griffin's Oak Hill Cemetery.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/doc-hollidays-grave-in-griffin|title=Doc Holliday's Grave in Griffin|website=Atlas Obscura}}</ref>
