Following the killing of Deputy Sheriff Web of Comanche County, Texas, by John Wesley Hardin, a group of vigilantes hunted down and lynched Joe and his cousins, Tom and Bud Dixon.

The boys' bodies were retrieved by a family friend, returned and buried at the Hardin Homestead. Years later, after the Hardin family had moved away, the property was owned by a Commanche hardware merchant, William Barnes. The story is told that Mrs. Barnes did not wish to be living with the "Ghosts of the Hardin Gang", so her husband hired two men to exhume the bodies of the three men and relocate the remains to the Oakwood Cemetery.
