The third of four children, Josephine Sarah (Marcus) Earp was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1861 to German-Jewish immigrants Sophie and Hyman (Henry) Marcus. When she was seven years old, the family moved to San Francisco. In 1879 the Pauline Markham Theater Company came to town, and Josephine slipped away with the troupe. The girl who ran away from home at 18 lived to be an old woman of 84 without ever having a single permanent address. In the Arizona Territory, she fell for Johnny Behan, a divorced, bankrupt politico. Her family retrieved her, but Johnny followed and convinced her gullible parents of his honorable intentions. In May 1880, she joined him in Tombstone, Arizona, but they did not marry. Her gaze shifted to thirtyish, tall, handsome, and laconic Wyatt Earp, who, despite his common-law wife, stared back. Their romance blazed through the shoot-out at the O.K. Corral (the Earp brothers were key participants) and related trials and vendettas. After Tombstone, the couple lived in other western boomtowns, Nome, ((Nome, Alaska, where they made their real money $80,000, like $1 million now in Wyatts co-ownership of an upscale saloon.)) Los Angeles, and intermittently, San Francisco, at times with Josephine Earps parents. In the 1920s, financially aided by her sister, Henrietta, the couple seesawed between mining and oil ventures in southern California, USA, promoting a movie about Wyatt Earps lawman exploits and writing his life story. The unpublished manuscript intrigued journalist Stuart Lake, who projected his own Wyatt Earp biography. After Wyatt Earp died in 1929, warfare exploded between Josephine Earp and Lake. Issues included his commercialized depiction of her husband and unflattering portrayal of her. Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshaldeleterious passages stricken came out in 1931 and fueled fifty years of Wyatt Earp mania, pro and con, in print and film.
according to legend, she worked as a prostitute in Tombstone. If she did, she probably did not rely on that as fully as some would like to believe. How can I say that? Since her father bought for her the house in which she lived, I believe that he must have been sending her money for living expenses., if not regularly, at least periodically. After all, he was among San Francisco's most successful bakers. The house, by the way, survived 'til about 10 years ago when it burned to the ground.
