you can’t always get what you want!
You don’t wanna mess with those Pella boys!
In this months edition, the Epitaph runs an article about how the Earp boys (Wyatt and brothers) took on the Gaass boys in a feud/fight back in Pella back in the day…. Apparently things dis not go well for the Earps and they got their collective asses handed to them!
The Wyatt’s lived in Pella as youths before moving…the Gaass family is one of the “founders” of Pella, Iowa. There is a pic of the Earp household in the Epitaph article (a row house east of the square) and there is a record of a Earp property north of the town.
I’ll have to try and get ahold of this edition if the Epitaph. Pella has advertised itself as the “childhood home of Wyatt Earp” for decades.
The Epitaph is a monthly that publishes stories of the characters and events of “the Old West.”
