Ma Barker and Sons Gang Final Resting Place
For those interested in American lore or gangsters, see the final resting place of a famous gang. When I visited they were the on graves with flowers and the marker had a bullet hole through it. Welch is a very small town so if you're traveling Route 66 and want to add to the adventure, jot on over to this cemetery. Do be respectful of the other graves. Arizona Donnie Barker (October 8, 1873 – January 16, 1935) better known as Ma Barker, and sometimes as Kate Barker, was the mother of several criminals who ran the Barker gang from the "public enemy era", when the exploits of gangs of criminals in the U.S. Midwest gripped the American people and press. Under various pseudonyms, she traveled with her sons during their criminal careers. After she was killed during a shoot-out with the FBI she acquired a reputation as a ruthless crime matriarch, who controlled and organized her sons' crimes. J. Edgar Hoover described her as "the most vicious, dangerous and resourceful criminal brain of the last decade". Because of this, Ma Barker has been presented as a monstrous mother in films, songs and literature.
