Morgan Earp's Grave / Earp Family Home & Graves in Colton, California

History Hunters. My history addiction. In today's edition of cemetery safari, Jeff plays sprinkler dodge. His secret for staying young has been revealed.

I’m an architectural historian by training—that house would be called “Queen Anne Stick Style.” Really fascinating! Thank you so much for these videos. I cannot get enough of the Earp stories.

I'm a member of The American Institute of Architects. The Earps' Colton, California cottage is definitely built in the later 1800s; certainly could be built before 1882. It would be nice if someone were willing to restore it; it is certainly small enough that it would not be too big of an endeavor.

What stood out to me in today's episode is the fact that the Earp family took care of each other; looked out for each other's interest.

Hubby and I own a historic ranch in San Bernardino County. Building permits weren’t required in the County until 1949. I was looking for records on the main house, and there weren’t any, because it was built before permits were required. I was painting the bathroom, and I removed the medicine cabinet mirror. Behind it was a hand written date from September of 1942. Sometimes builders will carve their name and a date on a beam in the attic. I suspect the house you showed is from the 1800’s, but because permits weren’t required, no record exists. And some modification that required a permit was made in the 1970’s. Maybe a new roof or modern electrician wire upgrade.

I purchased a set of steer horns from a building in Tombstone where the building stood where Morgan was shot. The original building burnt down just three months after Morgan was killed. Been to Tombstone several times. It one of my favorite towns. Great video!

Nice work! My grandfather was a friend of Wyatt in Nome. I have found a reference of grandpa singing opera in Wyatt’s Dexter saloon. I have a picture of grandpa with Wyatt and John Clum on the sands of Nome taken in 1900. He and my grandma are buried in Riverside cemetery, Portland, Oregon near Virgil’s grave. Virgil’s grave site alway has fresh flowers on it!

I'm an old guy and it hurts me how much younger people don"t know about the history of this country but thanks for trying.

Great episode, Jeff. Color me entertained and educated. I love the old west characters and history. Thanks for the effort you put into your videos. This channel deserves way more subscribers.

Great episode! It was really cool to see the house. I also believe that is the original Earp house. Always love how you are able to find these little gems across California.

My wife and I were in Tombstone AZ about 1 week ago. We visited the building where Morgan Earp was assassinated. Amazingly the photo that Jeff uses here matches the room to this day. The bar is gone but the back of the room remains intact. There is also a pool table in the spot where Morgan was shot. The proprietor, Cindy, came out and spoke with us. She was very knowledgeable and informative. We were standing on the very spot where this incident took place. Tombstone was a most interesting place and a lot of fun if you enjoy this history. My wife, who was not familiar with the story, enjoyed Tombstone immensely. Wooden sidewalks and dirt streets. We were there two days and enjoyed every minute. So much to see and to visit. Make sure you do a tour of the famous Birdcage Saloon and Theater. It's amazingly original and was one of the few buildings to survive a later fire. Brothel, Faro tables, gambling items, bar and entertainment stage all still in original condition. Many original artifacts. Boot Hill Grave Yard just outside town has 250 most interesting graves. Many murdered, hanged, shot, and victims of various incidents. Each has a story. A ton of old west history here.

Nicely done video. I grew up with the Earp's. My kindergarten teacher was a great grand child and her son was the same age as me and in the same grade. It's amazing how much history is around all of us... Thanks for sharing and for all of your efforts. 👍

There 's Sarah. ...Great to see your show with you Sarah.

The Earp family could be a whole college history course. Probably is. So interconnected with so much. Thank you for another enlightening video. All of my limited number of neurons and dendrites are firing. These are fascinating people.

We were in River View Cemetery, Portland Oregon, searching for the grave of George Pickett's son (Pickett's Charge, Gettysburg). Never found that, but did stumble upon Virgil Earp's grave. Thanks for an informative video!

My parents are buried down the road from Wyatt and Josephine in Colma ..i always visit Wyatt when i go there..

From one Jeff to another, Thank you for yet another exciting episode. I've always loved History. History, good or bad, is the foundation of the present and future that will one day itself be "History". We should always remember it and learn from it. Thank you Jeff and Sarah. Looking forward to the next episode. God Bless you both.

I love the cemeteries you pass through. Coming from the midwest to California I was really blown away how much more ornate markers are here as well as how much older the cemetaries seem to be. Look forward to all your videos and the amount of detail you go into. Love the pictures to go with the stories.

Great job as usual. Seeing all the grave markers in the video in such bad repair reminded me of the great work of the grave restorers I see on YouTube and tictok. They bring the knocked down headstones upright, and clean the surface. A true tender mercy for the family and descendants.

From 1891 to 1896, the Earps lived in at least four different locations in San Francisco: 145 Ellis St., 720 McAllister St., 514A Seventh Ave. and 1004 Golden Gate Ave. (source Wikipedia)...what caught my eye was the 7th Ave address as I lived up the street (at 714 7th ave) from there and never knew that a famous lawman & his "wife" had live down the street so many many years before...no plaque or even a marker in the sidewalk...Thanks, Jeff & Sarah for reminding us of the history all around us!
