Ed Schieffelin
When Ed Schieffelin went
into Apache country to search for silver, his friends told him he was crazy
and that all he'd find was his tombstone. When he discovered the first
of several of the area's most successful mines, he named that mine Tombstone.
The town that quickly sprang up was named after that mine. The mines made
him a very rich man.
