Born in 1844, Cyrus "Doc" Shores was a famous and respected lawman of the early days on Colorado's Western Slope. He served as the sheriff of Gunnison County when it was still wild and was noted as the lawman who captured Alferd Packer, the infamous Colorado Cannibal. He was also known as the "Bloodhound Sheriff" for doggedly tracking down fleeing outlaws like a bloodhound. He died in 1934 and is buried in Gunnison Cemetery, where you can find this box.
