  		St. Paul's Episcopal Church Tombstone, Arizona In 1882 Peabody served a six month ministry in Tombstone, Arizona. At the time it was the epitome of the "wild west. He became freinds with Wyatt Earp and his brothers. On one Sunday he preached that there was an 11th Commandment: "Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor’s Cattle”. This didn't sit well with Billy Claiborne who threatened to make the preacher “dance” to the music of his six gun. Peabody sent word that he was looking forward to dancing with Billy. Billy failed to follow through on the threat. He began preaching at the Miners Exchange Building because in 1881 the town had a fire that destroyed the church. He raised the money to build a new church. He was known to pass the hat in the saloons and the gambling houses. when questioned about that he said; “The Lord’s pot must be kept boiling, even if it takes the Devil’s kindling wood.” He purchased a lot for five dollars and spent five thousand building the new church. It still stands today and has been added to the National Register of Historic Places. Photo from the Historic American Buildings Survey 1937.

  		Reverend Endicott Peabody Helldorado is a nickname for Tombstone, Arizona created by a disgruntled miner. Reverend Peabody was the only preacher tough enough to tame it. He was there when U.S. Deputy Marshall Morgan Earp was assassinated in March 1882... and for the follow up when U.S. Deputy Marshall Wyatt Earp and his posse, including the notorious Doc Holliday, went on a killing spree that became known as the "Earp Vendetta Ride”. He wanted to bring the miners into his congregation but, they were a tough sell. He had to challenge their champion boxer to a fight in order to gain their trust. Many feared he'd be killed but, when he took the big man down they became friends.
