From our Western Women series: Samantha Fallon provided rooms for Wyatt Earp's prisoners because Tombstone didn't have a jail. She also boasted of hosting Ulysses S. Grant II.
By Jan Cleere Special to the Arizona Daily Star As the driver careened the stagecoach down a barely perceptible trail, bouncing from rock to rock trying to avoid massive boulders lining the dusty highway, his face turned the color and consistency of sandpaper while his hair and eyebrows sported a coat of fine silt.
This was not her first trip to Tombstone although records do not indicate when Samantha first arrived in Arizona and she often gave conflicting dates concerning her whereabouts, her properties, and her husbands. By June 1880, Samantha’s San Jose House was up and running, one of the first establishments built in Tombstone to accommodate overnight visitors and long-term boarders. The 12-room hotel rarely had a vacant room.
The bustle of activity at the San Jose House, along with Samantha’s proclivity for a lively social life, led many in town to assume her establishment might actually be a bordello with Samantha another of the local madams, but those rumors were never proven. And when she married local livery stable owner Zachary Hugh Taylor on Dec. 14, 1880, her standing in the community greatly improved.
