Marty discovers the tombstone in Boot Hill Cemetery.
Doctor Emmett Brown's tombstone became a reality after he was shot in the back by Buford Tannen on September 5, 1885 over a matter of eighty dollars, seventy-five dollars of which involved a horse that threw a shoe which Tannen had to shoot, and the remaining five dollars for a bottle of fine Kentucky redeye.
The tombstone was erected in memory by his love Clara Clayton who took care of him for two days while the bullet that entered Doc killed him slowly. After he died on September 7, he was placed in Boot Hill Cemetery. And the tombstone was engraved with "Beloved Clara".
It remained there for 70 years, ironically close to the DeLorean time machine he hid in the Delgado Mine, until Marty McFly and his 1955 self stumbled across it in horror. Marty took a photo of the tombstone and took it with him to 1885. On the night of the Hill Valley Festival where Doc was shot in the first timeline, Marty prevented it from occuring by intercepting the shot with a pie dish. This prompted Tannen to challenge Marty to a duel on Monday morning.
The text is replaced.
From this point on, the text on the photograph began to vanish and the next morning, Doc theorized that it might have been "Clint Eastwood" on the tombstone instead with this change of circumstances. By the time of the duel, his alias appeared on the tombstone. Marty decided to not face Tannen briefly but only to save Doc who had been taken hostage by his gang. Tannen shot Marty down but Marty survived the gunshot by wearing a iron stove door on his chest and knocking out Tannen into the tombstone and some manure.
With Tannen defeated, and the tombstone destroyed, it vanished completely from the photograph.
