Tombstone's Clipped History
January 22, 1959 - Tombstone Epitaph

Kemp’s Korner

An old landmark passed from the Tombstone scene Tuesday afternoon as fire struck the Nellie Cashman Hotel.

Smoldering rubble and ruins remained of the old hostelry as the fire took its course and quickly developed into an inferno that resisted the efforts of the volunteer fire department to stop the blaze. They succeeded in holding the fire at that point despite the high wind that prevailed and could have spread the blaze throughout the town.

Built in the ‘80’s the Cashman Hotel was known in those early days as the Russ House and was run by Mrs. Nellie Cashman, “The Angel of Tombstone.” Several owners have taken a hand in running the establishment after famous Nell with Mrs. Josephine Keagle doing the honors since 1951.

Nellie Cashman was one of the best-loved women in the early history of the picturesque West. She was a friend and a counselor to the hard-bitten hombres that rode the trail in those day, some looking for gold and silver, others in an everlasting search for excitement and adventure, while others just capitalized on the rest.
She provided food and lodgings to these trail riders; not asking if they could pay or not. She was the Good Samaritan in person, helping others to help themselves. Yet not a breath of scandal touched her name, for she was respected and loved by miners, cow pokes, cattle barons, and shop keepers alike.

The hotel named in her honor was a fitting tribute to a grand lady and its tragic loss leaves Tombstone without one of the anchors from the days gone by which still intrigue a lot of Americans, as Western history is after all Americana and Miss Cashman was a part of that scene, a shining example of the pioneer women who helped build the West and with it the great United States as it stands today.

(NOTE: The image is a tourist photo taken in front of the burned out and boarded up Nellie Cashman hotel in August of 1959, just months after the devastating fire.)
