Wyatt Earp Gravesite

Old Western Lawman

[@naturalhairchickonabudgett849]

Enjoyed your video! I’ve lived all over.. but as I remember living in the Midewest how proud we were to have had such a legend born right in our neck of the Illinois woods! I love everything I’ve learned about Mr Wyatt Earp! Love watching the old tv series the legend of Wyatt Earp! 🤫Oooops that’s how old I am to still enjoy black & white tv series 😂 thank you for the upload!

[@kblakney61]

...that's okay because my wife and I also enjoy the old black and white tv shows too ... and thankis for enjoyim my video ... regards ... Ken B.

[@danfrakes5871]

Wild Bill was from Southern Illinois as well.

[@supermojo89]

im about to deploy to afghanistan. the one thing i wanted to do before i left was to finally visit his grave... took a long ass time to find it, but i did it. enjoyed a beer with him. a very weird but calming presence while i was there but it was a great moment. cant describe the feleing when after over a hour of searching i finally found the tombstone.. rip wyatt.

[@jwdundon]

Its been 12 years.... WELCOME HOME. thanks for my freedom.

[@peytonmccanna3454]

It really interest me that people such as Josephine and others alive during the time of the Wild West actually lived to see such advancements such as cars or how WWI and WWII had changed the face of war. I guess I’m trying to say is they went from horses and gunslingers to modern cars and advanced warfare(at the time).

[@joes7885]

Yeah it amazes me too. I'm 56 and I've seen the and used the rotary telephone and push button, only to be replaced by the cell phone and computers to electric cars etc. But what a life it must have been in the wild west. She was very fortunate.

[@kennyanderson3264]

A sign just outside Goldfield, Nevada, has the town name on it, and a mention of Wyatt Earp once having been the local law there.

[@valereirenfro9040]

Thank you for this video. I'm a great fan of westerns both books & the movies. For me it's a nice escape. And I love the story of Wyatt & the love he & Josephine shared.

[@leeturiano4419]

Growing up as a kid, my father was a huge western film fan, and a big Wyatt Earp/Doc Holliday fan. Obviously, I got a lot of that from him. and also, obviously, I'm a huge fan of tombstone. I was born in 1969, so I'm 54. My dad had a stroke in 1989 and passed in 2001. What I did not know, until recently, was Wyatt passed away the very day my father was born- January 13th, 1929. That blew my mind, to say the least. Never would I even think that was possible.

[@paulhidenreich735]

Wyatt Earp and his brother's are true legends,My son who is 8 is named after him.I can hardly wait to pay my respects at the gravesite of Wyatt and Josephine Earp it will be an honour.Wyatt Paul. ( Canada)

[@Tregaskis47]

Wow...I grew up in the area and had no idea...67 years later I find out :)....Wow

[@yiseng4602]

Wyatt Earp(1848-1929)did not live to see either the Great Depression which began in October 1929 through the Thirties or the outbreak of World War Two in 1939. But his last wife Josephine Sarah Marcus Earp(1861-1944)did dying in 1944.She lived to see through the Great Depression of the Thirties,then the rise of Adorf Hitler and Nazism and finally the bombing of Pearl Harbour in December 1941.

[@armandogonzales9304]

The Hills of Eternity is in the city of Colma, CA. There are still peoples that leave small mementos behind. Mostly small stones. Also buried in Colma is Joe DiMaggio at the Holy Cross Cemetery, south of Eternal Hills.

[@Bulvan123]

It's a Jewish custom to leave a stone when you visit a grave.

[@TimSmith-uc4pk]

I m jealous of them both. They both got to see and live thru the 1800's and they both got to see the turn of the century. They both lived in a time when this country was still young growing and they also got to see the worst of it. From the Civil War all the way to both World Wars. To me seeing the turn of the century then would have been more exciting than seeing the 21st century.

The first "real" grown-up book I read as a child was a biography of Wyatt Earp. I have read many different ones over the years and they never get old. I have also seen Hollywood's contortions of his life. Most movies are nowhere near the truth.

[@kblakney61]

Yes, you are right ... most hollywood movies about Earp is far from the real truth ...which makes one wonder about all of their other movies ... thank you for watching my video ... Ken

[@cscook69]

Thank you for posting this. And thanks for acknowldging that the actual city name is Colma. By the way, for anyone not familiar with the area, Colma's cemetaries are works of art. Google them and you will see what I mean. Anyway, just a quick factoid, Wyatt was named after his father's commander during the Mexican-American War, Colonel Wyatt Berry Stapp. I used to have a delivery oute in Colma, and always wanted to see Wyatt's gravesite, but never had the time. Now I do, and shall. Thanks again.

[@daniloesp2010]

I am very much familiar with this modern headstone. I did the stencil work on it before engraving.

[@ericfisher1203]

[@ajabrams]

Thanks for the really nice video!

[@510Mrniceguy]

Great Video sir

[@Mansellyn]

It is a nice tribute to a man that will likely never be understood. There is just too much out there that confounds. Also, all of our morals have changed and figuring out whether Wyatt was a "good guy" or a "bad guy" would be way to hard. He was colorful, and he was charismatic. Maybe that is enough. Thanks for the video.

[@kblakney61]

... thank you for watching my video and I am glad you enjoyed it ... yes, the problem with most folks today is they all look back on history with "present eyes" ... one has to first think like they did way back when in order to understand them ...which is impossible for most of us ... including myself ... but history is important because we must know where we have been in order to know where we are going ...

[@Mansellyn]

@@kblakney61 That is so true. Thank you for the comments.

[@ladyblackstardust390]

Thanks for posting this. I wanted to know the epitaph on Wyatt and Josie's headstone. "There is nothing so sacred as honor and nothing so loyal as love." Lofty ideals for sure.

[@pelicanbeater6100]

I'm trying to understand something...the headstone says WYATT BERRY STAPP...where does the EARP come from???

[@pelicanbeater6100]

Maybe you can help me understand... the headstone says WYATT BERRY STAPP...so where does the Earp come from???

[@Mansellyn]

@@pelicanbeater6100 The Earp name is placed at the top of the stone. His full name is the Wyatt Berry Stapp. Many tombstones are made in this manner when family are buried together.

That's actually a very small town called colma right in between south San Francisco and daly city its a town of cemeteries

[@dosam_6146]

kblakney61 yes but if you’re going to make a video at least be accurate. The people of comla would appreciate it, thank you very much.

[@williamfuller2389]

@@dosam_6146 "People of Colma"? Many of those buried in Colma were originally buried in San Francisco. The city decided with limited land for the living that those buried be relocated in an area designated for cemeteries, a real City of the Dead. That city was named Colma. The "residents" of Colma are long past complaining about much of anything.

[@JDMorris81]

@aviator052003 #1 It wasn't uncommon in that time to have two middle names. Wyatt's full name was Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp. You'll notice the last name at the top of the tombstone (the big letters that say EARP) also pertaining to his wife Josephine Sarah Marcus Earp. Marcus being her maiden name turned middle name after marriage. #2 Wyatt did live in Los Angeles at the time of his death but his wife had his remains relocated to San Francisco to be buried in the Marcus family plot.

Wyatt Earp---~lived for the last 50 yrs of the 1800s and a bit more then 25yrs in the 20th Century---have a book about him and there is a pic of him holding onto the handle of a touring car in the late 1920s---for America, the auto was the symbol of the 20th Century Industry. Shootout in Tombstone Oct 26 1881...who was born in MN on Oct 1 1881 & had a MASSIVE EFFECT on all human civilization in the 20/21st Century?

My grandparents and a whole lot of my family members are buried just a hundred feet from here.

Yes, you are right ... his grave is in Colma and i knew that when i posted my video here but i said San Francisco because most people around the world have never heard of Colma but they usually do know where San Francisco is located ...

[@mssmith3604]

Many people confuse Colma as being part of San Francisco, but Colma is an incorporated town.

For being born in the mid-1800's, they both lived a long time.

Stay away from the Intertainers like the junk Hollywood movies as they are usually highly inaccurate and misleading about the real historical facts. Good luck to you ...

I've been to his birthsight in Monmoth Il. Not much there. The house is long gone and there's a wooden fence surrounding the property. It;s on a small hill and looking down in it shows very little. A few posters on the fence. Not sure if they charge to enter but can't say it would be of great value. That was nearly 20 years ago so who knows. Not much in the little town or around it. I was there to do electrical surveys for a hog rendering plant. Very disgusting.
