(11 June 1877 - 7 December 1877) her death On June 11, 1877, Kitty married her fifth husband, a man named Samuel R. Curley in Deadwood. But, for Kitty, this would be a fatal mistake. Curley was a jealous man and after numerous arguments over alleged affairs with a former husband, and others such as Wild Bill Hickok and Sam Bass, he killed her on December 7, 1877, in the Lone Star Saloon before turning the gun on himself. The following day, the townspeople allegedly laid out the pair for viewing inside the saloon before they were buried together.
