Frank McLaury (March 3, 1849 - October 26, 1881) and his brother
Tom owned a ranch outside
Tombstone, Arizona,
Arizona Territory during the 1880s, and had ongoing conflicts with lawmen
Wyatt,
Virgil, and
Morgan Earp. The McLaury brothers repeatedly threatened the Earps because they interfered with the Cowboys' illegal activities. On October 26, 1881, Tom, Frank, and
Billy Clanton were killed in the
Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
