My wife's family has a history of being a wild and rowdy bunch. Here's
her grandfather's tombstone. The little blurb does not mention him being
a stone-cold killer of rustlers in the old West. Hit the "Read More"

  Phin Clanton married into my wife's Arizona clan. Her Uncle Fay was
named after him. Earps and Clantons didn't mix well.
On a higher plane, my great-great granduncle, Henry Goode Blasdel, was
the first governor of the State of Nevada.
He changed the spelling of his last name, so the hicks out west would be
able to pronounce and spell it.
