Daniel Tipton - Green Lawn Cemetery

Green Lawn Cemetery, section 45, Columbus Ohio.

Of the notable people buried in Green Lawn Cemetery, Daniel Tipton might be one of the most obscure. Above is the only known photo of Tipton, his mugshot.

There are three points in time anyone is sure where he was. It seems there are no records of Tipton before he enlisted in the Civil War.

Wyatt Earp

Doc Holliday


Daniel Tipton next shows up with Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday during Earp's Vendetta Ride. After that in 1897 he was arrested in El Paso for possessing forged Chinese immigration papers. After his conviction he was sent to the Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus, Ohio. He died 4 months later of Bright's disease.
