Virgil Earp and his brothers, Morgan and Wyatt, were the lawmen involved in the gunfight at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. Near the end of his life, Virgil Earp's daughter Nellie, sent a letter to her estranged father hoping to establish a relationship.

Earp, who was fighting for the union during the Civil War when Nellie was born, was unaware he had any children.  Nellie's mother, Ellen Rysdem, was told Earp was killed in service because both sets of parents disapproved of their marriage. After Earp's passing, his daughter requested his long-time partner Allie Sullivan send his remains to Portland.
