Pastor John Clum? The Tombstone stalwart nearly became a minister.

Except for illness, Tombstone mayor and Epitaph founder John Clum might have walked a very different road.  After finishing prep school, he decided to go to college.  His parents wanted him to become a pastor, so they encouraged him to go to the Dutch Reformed Church-associated Rutgers University.  But strenuous athletic activities caused Clum to get a case of rheumatism.  That prevented him from working to earn money for school.  So Clum looked to the West for new opportunities.
