Katherine Horoney would like for us to believe that she and Doc patch up their differences and spent time together after Tombstone but we only have her word for that. According to Doc’s biographer, Dr. Gary Roberts, other than her own self-serving statement that she went to him in Glenwood Springs there’s no evidence to support her claim that they ever crossed paths again after Tombstone. She made attempts to be reconciled with him in March 1881. She left him again in July 1881, and she came back again in September. She left Tombstone during the Spicer hearing, and, as far as he can determine, never reconciled after that. Doc was involved in the vendetta troubles during the spring of 1882 before heading to Colorado where he remained for most of the rest of his short life.
