My ancestor was John P Clum, editor of Tombstone Epitaph and mayor of Tombstone. I believe he was a Sunday school teacher at this the First Baptist Church of San Dimas California during the '20s. Perhaps Earp came to visit him here from LA. On the current street view of the church, the mountain contours in the background line up.

[@BPerezsr]

Ladyrodgers you are very right it was in Colton, California. Photo was taken in front of St Salvador Catholic Church, 7th Street and "L" Street, South Colton. Trees look like Chinese Cherry Trees in the Winter. They grow very well in Colton. The original wooden church in the picture is gone, but replaced with a new one. Thank You.

[@christopherbennett6481]

John Wayne explained that he would follow Erp all around the set. Wayne admired everything about him, getting down the way he walked, talked, and his whole persona. John utilized it in all his movies, and became successful.

[@stephenmcelroyii7317]

Wyatt Earp lived around the corner from my great Grandfather in a small house in Los Angeles, Earps Brother became a Police Chief in Colton, California and this picture was taken in Colton around 1909

[@imapaine-diaz4451]

+Steven McElroy Probably in colton or the San Bernadino area. The Earps had family there and you could get out there from LA easy on the pacific electric red cars.

[@stephenmcelroyii7317]

[@Brace67]

As soon as I viewed this photo I knew it was Wyatt Earp later in life. Fascinating to see a new photo of him even if we’re unsure of the circumstances surrounding it. After all these years we still continue to have a fascination with the man.

[@Brace67]

@pado joe biden Sure ya didn’t.

[@Brace67]

Sure I did.

[@johnreynolds6466]

I also seem to have a fascination with Wyatt Earp. I have heard that he was a very tall man and I am guessing he had nerves of steel since there have been reports that during the gunfight at the OK Corral, when bullets were flying, Wyatt Earp was very motionless and still. Wyatt Earp was focused on hitting his target. With most people, if you start shooting at them they would not be motionless and still. So, Wyatt Earp was not the type of man that many people were comfortable threatening. Wyatt Earp was a large man with nerves of steel. Not the type of man anyone would want to disrespect.

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

I have seen enough photos of Mr. Earp to say this looks completely authentic. I couldn’t speak with any expertise on the background, except that his attire and the absence of leaves on the trees suggests wintertime. By the time of this photo in the mid to late 1920’s paved roads were pretty common. Could the location be on a movie set? He was known to frequent them as a consultant. Just my guess!

When you live and go to the same church most of your growing up days, and are raised in a Catholic Church, especially, San Salvador Church in South Colton, CA. it is pretty hard to forget the church. I do not believe you need a church expert. However, I know where you are coming from. I am sure most Colton residences have old pictures of themselves in front of the church. This was a great place to take your picture in those days. Have a great day .

It does look like an aged Wyatt Earp(1920s) posing for a picture while playing quoit.The clothes he is wearing look like they could easily have come from the 1880s, but are in mint condition and are a perfect fit.This would make me think that Earp could possibly be involved in the making of a Western,maybe as an extra.There have long been rumors of Earp being in some Silent films.He was friends with Willam S Hart and Tom Mix.

I always found it interesting that the actor John Wayne used Wyatt Earp as his mentor when he was trying to establish himself as a Western lawman character actor. I have heard that Wayne was in his early 20's that Earp was in his late 70's at the time. Wayne spoke to Earp a number of times in the last couple years of his life.

The item looks like quiot which is a pitch and toss game popular in the late 19th early 20th century. A number of these rings are pitched at a wooden X frame with pegs sticking up, and points are scored when a ring hitches over a peg. The more central the peg, the higher the point.

[@Grisbi6]

Pretty well established, I think, that this is a genuine Wyatt Earp photo, taken in Colton, CA.

[@imapaine-diaz4451]

Ther item on the ground is called a "Quoit" Quoits s a throwing game similar to horseshoes where you throw a ring made of metal, rope, or leather, aiming at a peg stuck in the ground. the game was very popular in the late 19th and early 20th century in the usa, having been brought over from europe (England). this image was probably made in san Bernardino, Ca Where the Earps had relatives and Wyatt visited often when living in Los Angeles. Probably taken in the teens or twenties as the person seems to be elderly and Wyatt Earp would have been in his sixties and seventies at that time.

[@lorenkolb9994]

Neat!!!! Very interesting.

[@arctodussimus6198]

John Wayne worked on the crew that was making Earp’s biography. He said Wyatt Earp was an amazing man, and he wanted to be just like him. Honest and direct. He said he even copied Earp’s style of walking. Yep, John Wayne’s famous swagger is a copy of how Wyatt Earp walked. A couple of real American legends. 🇺🇸

I love the word pimp. It says so much about a man. Only in America would Earp and JFK ever be considered heroes.

[@ExKUKicker]

@@larrys-monkey-farmllpee7370 Larry, I have read and watched a few KZbin videos concerning J.H. Holliday's, supposed, transfer back to Griffin, Georgia. As a funeral professional for over 36 years, not to mention, growing up in the business, hearing stories of burials from many decades ago...I, frankly, doubt that Doc's body was ever relocated. Though, the embalming process was used during the Civil War, literally, in tents on the battlefield, it was very crude, at best. It hadn't been that many years from when Doc passed. Remember, the modern embalming process is NOT to preserve the body for long term...its to present the body in the best, possible, presentation and to eliminate any, potential bacteria or viruses that may remain on the body after death, that could be contracted by the family or those attending the viewing. Another words, the process is not like that of the ancient Egyptians. With that said, Doc was, most likely, buried in the ground for several weeks or longer, prior to his family, attempting to bring him back to Georgia. The deterioration of his tissues and internal organs would have created a horrendous odor (gas), not to mention, his features would have failed quickly. Frankly, I would not have wanted to have been the individuals hired to bring his body back, even by train in an unsealed pine box. It would have been, tremendously, unpleasant for ALL involved, trust me. It's my belief, only based upon my knowledge from the above facts that, Doc's family may have wanted the public to not know, exactly, where J.H. was interred, so grave robbers nor Western nostalgics, if you will, would be, less likely, to seek him out for, disrespectful purposes. Again...just must opinion. And, without exhuming both graves (current family's permission), we may never know the truth? By the way...either cemetery would have records, even an unmarked grave, as to where his body was placed. But they were, either paid funds to NOT provide this information or it was agreed by city officials at the time, that it was best to keep it a secret keeping, said characters that I mentioned above, away from the, actual, grave.
