John Clum was a colorful character, once an Indian agent on the San Carlos reservation. He was elected Mayor and served as Postmaster before selling the Epitaph and leaving Tombstone in 1882.
The Epitaph has had many owners over the years. It moved from a two story adobe structure next to the Grid Block, on Fremont to its present location on 5th Street in 1927. It was purchased by Tombstone Historic Adventures headed by Harold Love in the 1960s. It is still owned and operated by the Love family.
So much of Tombstone’s history was written and preserved by the newspaper. Daily events, social events, fashions, church services, births and deaths, disasters (natural and unnatural), and economic conditions are preserved on their pages.
Open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
(except Christmas and Thanksgiving Day)
