This Kaloma image (so-called because it appeared on the cover of a composition piece titled “Kaloma Valse Hesitante”) is most notorious for appearing on the cover of Glenn Boyer’s 1976 book, who insisted it was Wyatt Earp's third wife, Josephine Sarah "Sadie" Marcus Earp. Boyer insisted it was a picture of Josephine from 1880 but the picture was actually copyrighted in 1914.
Beginning in about 1994, critics began to challenge the accuracy of the book, and eventually many parts of the book were refuted as fictional.
Josephine Earp died on December 19, 1944, penniless. Sid Grauman of Grauman's Theater, and cowboy actor and long-time friend of Wyatt Earp, William S. Hart, paid for her funeral and burial. After several of her tombstones had been stolen, Actor Hugh O'Brian, who was playing Earp in the 1955–61 television series "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp", offered a reward for the stone’s return. It was located for sale in a flea market.
