Myrtle married Charles Otis Keith on May 29, 1901 in New York. They divorced him in New Hampshire twelve years later on October 20, 1913 - the cause was listed as willing absence. Sometime thereafter (we're not sure of the date), she married William McDivitt who was listed as as salesman in the 1915 census and a chauffeur in the 1920, 1925, and 1930 census. In 1930 Myrtle's mother was living with them - we don't know whether she continued to live with Myrtle, just that she died in January 1939 and an article published in October 1939 in the Long Island Star-Journal stating that her estate valued at $26, 398 was left to her daughter Mrs Myrtle McDevitt of 30-81 30th street, Astoria.
We haven't found any additional information about Myrtle until 1955 when at the age of 74 she married 58 year old Williard Howard Parker in New Hampshire. It was her third marriage and his first. His occupation was listed as hotel manager - we believe of the Hotel Geneva on Baboosic Lake which he and his sister built in the mid 1920s.
Myrtle died at the age of 82 in Florida on June 15, 1963. Her obituary describes the many activities in which she was involved in her community. Her husband Willard died three years later on May 18, 1966.
