The Sheriff
The first Stanley was the son of Elya Yelnats and Sarah Miller. He made his fortune in the stock market on the east coast in the mid-late 1800s, went west with a valuable suitcase, but was robbed by Kissin' Kate Barlow. She left him in the desert, where he survived for 17 days on "God's Thumb"—although, when he came out of his delirium in the hospital, he had no idea what that even means. He married his nurse and remained in Texas, where the Yelnats family lives to the present day.
