Tombstone, Arizona? Well, Ed Schieffelin was at Fort Huachuca when he decided to go out and search for silver and gold. When he told the men stationed there what he was planning to do, all they said was, "The only only thing you'll find is your own tombstone." When Ed Schieffelin did discover silver, he decided to name it Tombstone.
