Mollie Fly

[3] The Flys moved to the boomtown of Tombstone in Arizona Territory in 1879 and set up a photographic studio.

[5] Buck was often gone on photographic expeditions, and during his absence Mollie ran both the boarding house and Fly's Photography Gallery, taking studio portraits for 35 cents apiece.

[3] By the late 1880s, Tombstone was suffering from a declining economy, so the Flys moved to Phoenix in 1893.

[2] The Flys separated again in the late 1890s, at which time Buck opened a studio in the copper-mining town of Bisbee, Arizona.

[2][3][8] In 1905, she published a collection of Buck's photographs entitled Scenes in Geronimo’s Camp: The Apache Outlaw and Murderer.
