Just what did folks call Wyatt Earp’s third wife, Sarah Josephine Marcus Earp? The movies suggest that everyone referred to her as Josie. But history says Wyatt called her Sadie. And a Los Angeles Times article, published the day after Earp died in January 1928, also refers to her as Sadie.
The lady herself tried to downplay that name after Wyatt died—probably because there was a prostitute named Sadie Mansfield in Tombstone during the Earp years. There’s some evidence that the two women were one and the same.
