WILLIAMSON) Albert Sieber was born in the Grand Dutchy of Baden, Ger- many, February 29, '1844, and died near Roosevelt, Arizona, February 19, 1907. Came to America with his parents as a small boy, settling for a time in Pennsylvania, then moved to Minnesota. Early in 1862 Sieber enlisted in Company B, First Minne- sota Volunteer Infantry, serving through the strenuous Penin- sula campaign of the Army of the Potomac as a corporal and a sharp-shooter. On July 2, 1863, on Gettysburg Battlefield, he was dangerously wounded in the head by a piece of shell, and while lying helpless and unattended on the field of battle a bul- let entered his right ankle and followed up the leg, coming out at the knee. He lay in the hospital until December, 1863, when he was transferred to the First Regiment of Veteran Reserves as a corporal, under Captain Morrison, and his regiment was ac- credited to the State of Massachusetts. When Sieber fell wound- ed on the field of Gettysburg, General Hancock, who was near him, was wounded at the same time. For Sieber 's service with this regiment the State of Massachusetts paid him the sum of $300 bounty.

  • Chapter Eleven an Angel in Tombstone 1880 – 1881
    Baker/Toughnut Angel/11 1 Chapter Eleven An Angel in Tombstone 1880 – 1881 Tombstone, Arizona Territory, 1800s (Courtesy Tombstone Courthouse) Nellie stepped off the stage onto Allen Street’s dusty board sidewalk. She turned to catch her carpetbag when the stage driver lifted it down, but stumbled over the hem of her skirt into the path of a dark-haired man with a full mustache. The stranger grabbed Baker/Toughnut Angel/11 2 her waist. “Whoa. Welcome to Tombstone! Got your balance there, Ma’am?” Nellie pulled her traveling skirt out from under her button-down shoe and noticed the man wore a silver star on his blue shirt. He took her grip from the driver and set it on the sidewalk. “My name’s Virgil Earp.” Next to him two other men attempted not to laugh. Virgil smiled, and indicated the other two with his hand. “May I present my brother, Wyatt, and Doc Holliday?” Earp, not a common name. These must be the Earps who had served as lawmen in Dodge City. She’d read newspaper articles and one of T.J.’s dime novels about Wyatt Earp. Doc Holliday stopped stamping his black boots to remove the dust, bowed at the waist and swept his bowler hat from his head. He smelled of leather and, what was that? Sage? “Indeed, welcome to Tombstone, lovely lady.” He drawled in a bass voice from under another wide black mustache. That made Nellie think of how Papa had always joked that men with mustaches were trying to hide something -- their upper lips.

Tombstone Epitpah - December 15, 1927 “Oh! Oh! What a Night ‘Twas Says A. H. Gardner, Tombstone, Ariz. That Night Before Christmas “The evening’s entertainment began with a knockout. Johnny Walker – John W. Walker, you understand, then federal court reporter and fresh from Chicago – and I were just about putting the finishing touches to a roast mallard duck supper at the old Kreuder Café on Allen Street when Kreuder met one of his customers at the cashier’s counter and laid him cold with an uppercut that would have at that time done credit to even hard hitting bog Fitzsimmons. There were no frills to the affair. Kreuder just waited until his man came down the aisle, gave one glance at the check he handed to the cashier, and then applied a clenched fist to the point of his customer’s jaw. All was over but the shouting. “The proceedings struck me as not only being odd but as being carried out in a rather cold-blooded, businesslike manner. Being just from New York City, one might think that such an occurrence would have little effect on me. But I had never seen anything in which Kreuder laid low the man which 5 his establishment had just feasted. “Oh, yes! I did forget to tell you why Kreuder took a punch at his customer. It was this way. “I supposed the customer got some peculiar notion that a 50 per cent discount should be made on all T-bone steak dinners which he ate at Kreuder’s for every time a check for 50 cents was handed to him, he erased the ‘0,’ put a ‘2’ in front of the ‘5’ and then put the ‘cents’ mark – ‘c’ – after the ‘25.’ It seemed that the cashier became suspicious, told Kreuder CORNER OF 5TH & ALLEN STREETS about it, and according to the customs of old Tombstone of a quarter-century ago, the customer ‘had it coming to him.’ Forthwith Kreuder was duly bound to see that ‘it’ arrived in true western style.
