Judi Leff on Wyatt & Josephine Marcus Earp in San Francisco

 

Most people associate Wyatt Earp and Josephine Marcus Earp with the town of Tombstone, Arizona and the famous and controversial shootout.  But this adventeruos pair lived in many other places. Josephine moved to SF from New York as a child, and Wyatt lived here with his brothers, and later Josie.  There are many stories associated wtih both of them, and their connection to friends and family in the Bay Area.   Join SFHA board member Judi Leff as she takes us on a tour of these places and stories right here in our own backyard.

About our speaker:
Judi, who is a teacher for older adults, is the historian for the Colma Jewish cemeteries, which, it may surprise you to learn, contain the final resting place for both Wyatt and Josephine.
Theirs is the most visited grave in Colma.
