October 25, 1866 - Jim Miller
One of the most prolific hired killers of the late frontier era, he operated for years beneath a veneer of religious respectability — regular church attendance, no drinking, no smoking — while accepting contracts on human lives. The contradiction between his public piety and his profession as a gunman for hire made him a singular figure in the record of Old West violence.
From Wikipedia
James Brown Miller (October 25, 1861 – April 19, 1909), also known as "Killin' Jim", "Killer Miller" and "Deacon Jim", was an American outlaw and title-holder gunfighter of the American Old West, said to have killed 12 people during gunfights. Miller was referred to by some by the alias "Deacon Jim" because he regularly attended the Methodist Church, and he did not smoke or drink. He was lynched in Ada, Oklahoma, in 1909 along with three other men, by a mob of residents angry that he had assassinated a former deputy U.S. marshal.
