Wyatt Earp had a total of three wives. His first was Urilla Sutherland who died early in his marriage. His second wife was Mattie Blaylock, who became addicted to pain killer medicine (laudanum); she was considered by some to be his lover and not actual wife though an1880 census listed her as Earp's wife. Finally, his third wife till he died was Josephine Marcus, who's knowledge of Mattie Blaylock's place in Wyatt's life was concealed as she worked hard to protect her and Wyatt's reputation in their later years.
