The shooting of Dow triggered a series of confrontations that later led to the Sacking of Lawrence , the Wakarusa War , the Pottawatomie massacre , and the Battle of Black Jack . Coleman was one of the men taken captive during the Battle of Black Jack in 1856 and was linked to another killing of a free stater that year . The Dow Cemetery was used until 1873 when Stony Point Cemetery was founded and is estimated to contain 75 burials . The cemetery is nearly lost now but a sign erected by the local Santa Fe Trail Historical Society marks the location
