Description | The Tombstone Epitaph emerged in 1880 as a Republican paper founded by John P. Clum, Thomas Sorin, and Charles Reppy. Despite skepticism about its name, chosen by Clum to symbolize the essence of every tombstone, it became a symbol of Tombstone's mining industry. Clum, also postmaster and mayor, tackled corruption, causing townwide divisions. The shootout at the O.K. Corral in 1881 underscored these tensions. The paper evolved politically, briefly turning Democrat under Harry Woods before returning to its Republican roots. The original title resurfaced in various forms, eventually becoming an independent weekly in 1891. Today, it remains Arizona's oldest continuously printed newspaper. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1882 of this newspaper. |
