Oswald’s Grave Yields Another JFK Mystery
Then a new twist in the saga appeared, presumably in 1997 or 1998, when a second, nearly identical headstone was placed only inches from Oswald’s marker. The inscription read: “Nick Beef.”
Neither the Cullitons nor Marrs – nor anyone else for that matter – seems to know who placed the newer headstone there. It is also a mystery over who Nick Beef is, or was, if such a person ever existed.
John and Marcy now live in Denton, but they continue to have questions about the mysteries buried at Rose Hill Cemetery, in far east Fort Worth.
“I wondered who Nick Beef was,” said John Culliton. “Nobody seemed to know.”
Marrs, despite his extensive research, is also baffled by the Beef marker. “The fact that the marker on Nick Beef’s grave is the same material and the same design, and is almost identical to the marker on Lee Harvey Oswald’s grave, is indeed curious,” he said.
With so little information available, about all that is known about the Nick Beef site is that it is an empty gravesite. A former cemetery official said there is no internment card on file for a person by that name.
The placement of the Nick Beef marker may have been someone’s effort to help visitors find Oswald’s grave, said Jerry Dealey, a tour guide who is well acquainted with JFK’s fatal visit to North Texas.
