Talk:Big Nose Kate

message: Nice job on the first pass bio of Kate Horoney, whoever you are. I'll see if I can come up with a picture. I've made a few minor changes. Glen Boyer ought to be given credit for digging a lot of the original bio stuff up on Kate.

message: The book "I Married Wyatt Earp" about Josephine Marcus and authored by Glen Boyer is used a source several times in this article. This book has largely been discredited. See the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral talk page, a portion of which is quoted below:
:There is no evidence that Boyer ever met Earp's Josie/Sadie Marcus (who died in 1944 when Boyer was in his early 20's), and indeed there indirect evidence against it, as he certainly would have mentioned such a meeting in his 1955 letter to Stuart Lake, which survives. See http://home.earthlink.net/~knuthco1/IMWEfiles2/curiousvendettasource.htm which probably should be referenced in this article if there is any more Boyerism. Moreover, there is no evidence that Boyer had access to anything other than the Cason manuscript in writing I married Wyatt Earp and therefore anything he/she says about the Tombstone years is suspect. It is third hand at best and fiction at worst.
Any content supported purely by Boyer's book is not a reliable source and should be removed. -- btphelps (talk) (contribs) 00:41, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Given that in her picture, she doesn't appear to have a particularly gargantuan schnozz, why did she have this nickname? --Dweller 13:00, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Dweller, according to Kate herself in the Anton Mazzonovich article, Kate was considered by Wyatt Earp and his friends to always be dealing in Doc's business.  A place where in the 19th century a woman had no place.  So Wyatt and his croanies began celling her "Nosey Kate."   But because being of Hungarian descent she DID have a larger nose.  So Big Nose Kate stuck.  Please Visit the FindAgrave.com page that is referenced on the page to see other pictures of Kate. Diamond Lil 03:12, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

message: "While history has always stated Kate was born in Hungary, her death certificate states she was born in Davenport, Iowa, to father Marchal H. Michael and mother Catherine Baldwin."
A death certificate is in no way an authoratative source about a person's parents or birth ( unless the deceased is an infant ).  A death certificate is an authorative source that a person has died,  and if possible,  the cause and circumstances of their death.  Nothing more than that.  How is a doctor or local medical official supposed to authoritatively determine and record the parentage of a 90 year old person with no living relatives ?   They can't !Eregli bob (talk) 22:18, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spurious information 

message: I removed the link to "Speakeasy" for "gin mill" on the grounds that speakeasies were a creature of Prohibition; but there's no "Gin mill" article. Can someone who has access to the reference books please find a better term, e.g. after-hours bar or bar for illegal liquor or disreputable saloon or cheap saloon? Thanks!
