Virgil Edwin Earp (April 19, 1879 - November 20 1959) was the son of Newton Jasper Earp, Wyatt Earp's half-brother. Newton and Wyatt had the same father, Nicholas Porter Earp (September 6, 1813 – February 12, 1907). Born in Tombstone, Arizona in 1879, Virgil learned the ways of the Wild West quickly. By the time he was 18 years old in 1897, he was the Sheriff of Paradise Valley, Nevada. He eventually moved to Sacramento, California in 1909. In 1918, Virgil listed on his WWI draft registration card that he worked as a collector and solicitor for the San Francisco Chronicle. In 1943, he listed on his WWII draft registration card that he worked at the Sacramento Air Depot, McClellan Field, Sacramento, California. This game show was called "The $64,000 Question" and aired in 1958.
