From the internet: Wolfgang Robert Copman, known as Jack, was one of the earlier Bighorn Basin settlers and sheepmen establishing a ranch on Beaver Creek north of Shell in 1880. Jack is said to have loved the square mountain in Shell Canyon and wished to be buried there when he died. He apparently was quite vocal about his wish; telling everyone who would listen. As a result the locals started calling the mountain Copman's Tomb. The name stuck and it was officially named that by U.S. Geological Survey. He never got his wish. His family buried his ashes next to his wife in the Greybull, WY Cemetery.
