Most people associate Wyatt Earp and Josephine Marcus Earp with the town of Tombstone, Arizona, and the famous and controversial shootout in Tombstone, Arizona. But this adventurous pair lived in many other places. Josephine moved to San Francisco from New York as a child, and Wyatt lived here with his brothers and later with Josephine. There are many stories associated with the pair connected to friends and family in San Francisco and other parts of the Bay Area. Theirs is the most visited grave in Colma.
