  1. Josephine Sarah "Sadie" Earp (née Marcus; 1861 – 1944)

    She was the wife of Wyatt Earp the famed Old West lawman. She met Wyatt in 1881 in the frontier town of Tombstone, Arizona, when she was living with Johnny Behan, sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona. She left Behan, who was nearly twice her age, in 1881, before the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. She returned to San Francisco in March 1882 and was joined that fall by Wyatt, with whom she remained for 46 years until his death in 1929. Josephine Earp had his body cremated and buried him in the Marcus family plot in a Jewish cemetery

    Josephine Marcus was born in New York to a Jewish family. They moved to San Francisco, where she attended dance school as a girl. She ran away as a young teen traveling to Arizona looking for adventure. Sadie kept this period of her life a secret but there js evidence that she may have been forced to work as a prostitute under the name Sadie Mansfield. She described this period as 'A bad dream'.

    The book I Married Wyatt Earp (1967), is based on a manuscript allegedly written in part by her.

  3. #WyattEarp stands next to a 1926 Packard Model 326 “Opera Coupe” that is believed to have been owned by silent film actor William S. Hart. Tom Mix preferred flashier cars and spared no expense when he went out on the town with Wyatt—the actor was making $7,500 a week at Fox, with virtually no income tax! #Hollywood #automobiles #cars

  5. Josie and Celia both ran away from home as teenagers - one before the age of 15.

    Between them, these girls would travel thousands of miles to meet their similar destinies.

    Both would end up working as underage "sporting girls" on the 19th century American frontier, and both would become consort to a man still celebrated today in American film and folklore.

    One would survive her ordeals by forgetting.

    The other could never forget...
