Document, 8” x 4”, Lincoln, July 1, 1881 being a receipt of “Mrs. Sue E. Barber the sum of three hundred and thirty dollars which sum I received ... as administer of the estate of John H. Tunstall ... for legal services overdue said estate ... Ira E. Leonard.” John Henry Tunstall (1853-1878), born in London, England, became a rancher and merchant in Lincoln County, New Mexico, where he competed with ethnic Irish merchants and politicians who ran the town of Lincoln and the county. He was the first man killed in what developed as the Lincoln County War, an economic and political conflict that resulted in armed warfare, perhaps compounded by ethnic rivalries between an Irish group and others of English descent. He was Bill The Kid’s employer and good friend.
