    Warren Baxter Earp (March 9, 1855 - July 6, 1900) was an American frontiersman and lawman. He was the youngest of Earp brothers, Wyatt, Morgan, Virgil, James, and Newton Earp. Although he was not present during the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, after Virgil was maimed in an ambush, Warren joined Wyatt and was in town when Morgan was assassinated. He also helped Wyatt in the hunt for the outlaws they believed responsible. Later in life, Warren developed a reputation as a bully and was killed in an argument in 1900

    Yes I went there in Feb this year and I was disappointed, they have this as a historical site but don't do any upkeep on it. Besides Earps grave with all that metal and concrete, all (most) the other head stones are destroyed by what looks like vandalism, too bad bc it is historic and I did enjoy it . Just needs to be taken care of and shown a little love. Thanks!

    Wyatt Earp met Josephine Marcus in San Francisco. They got married in 1892 according to Josephine’s memoir but no marriage public records were found.
    After his death, Josephine had Earp’s body cremated secretly and his remains buried at her family plot at the Hills of Eternity Memorial Park.
    The first marble headstone was stolen. The recovered headstone is now on display in the Colma Historical museum.
    Earp’s grave is the most visited place in Colma, California.
