    Remarks: 
    Dennis O'Leary, a private in the United States Army, died at Fort Wingate, New Mexico, April 1, 1901. Accounts differ as to how he came to carve his own gravestone. According to one version, he sculpted the work in his spare time as he was dying of tuberculosis. Another version says that he went missing from the Fort for several weeks, during which time he may have executed the sculpture. Upon his return, he was court-martialed and confined to the guardhouse. He then reportedly shot himself to death on April 1, 1901, leaving directions for finding the stone.
