Unmarked Grave in Riverside Cemetery for a Kansas City Drifter
Block 33 in Denver's potter's field holds the unmarked grave of Richard William Sleigle, a 60 year old Kansas City drifter with a long drunkenness record. He died alone at the Burlington Hotel with no ID, no family, and no funds, leading to a pauper's funeral attended by a few strangers.
