In 1877, "Doc" Holliday (1851-1887) met prostitute Mary Katharine "Big Nose Kate" Horony (1849-1940) in Fort Griffin, Texas. (In 1874, she worked in a brothel in Dodge City, run by the wife of James Earp [1841-1926], the second oldest of the Earp brothers. Doc met Wyatt Earp [1848-1929] in 1878, when Wyatt came to Fort Griffin looking to arrest an outlaw with whom Doc had played cards.) Doc and Kate lived together off-and-on in a common-law marriage for the next decade.
