Tombstone Arizona - Did you know...
In 1937 - eight years after Wyatt Earp died, his wife Josephine (pictured) made an improbable visit to Tombstone.
Accompanied by Wyatt's cousin, Vinnolia Earp and her husband, she walked the streets again after a 55 year absence. She visited many location and spent time with a Tombstone Epitaph newspaper correspondent for a few words.
She spoke of an autobiography she was working on, and remembered Doc Holliday: "They were always trying to get him on some count. He was really a very kind hearted man."
There were many things she declined to talk about - most notably Wyatt's involvement in the history making events so popularized by then. Her recollections leave more to the imagination than the known. There's no way of knowing what memories came to her as she walked around town that quiet February weekend, but wouldn't we all love to know.
