    This Daniel Green, as age 72,  is the brother of Myrtle's father, and so her uncle, and Andy's uncle-in-law.  But he was also married to Andy's sister Sarah, so he is Andy's brother-in-law, as reported here.  But his reported age points up the discrepancies and confusion in family and official reports about Daniel and his older brother Reddick Green, also confusingly reported in some genealogies as Daniel.

    Some genealogies have only one son with the name Daniel Reddic or variations like Redric.  It appears that Reddick Jackson Green was born in 1869, and Daniel in about 1872.  So we would expect Daniel's age in 1940 to be about 68.

    All the genealogies I have seen that have a death date for Myrtle report her death was in Oregon in 1948.  This information is found in the Oregon Death Index.  The difficulty with this is that the last name is her maiden name and not her married name.  We would expect her to be Myrtle Emma Powell.  The Oregon record is for Myrtle E Green.

    Myrtle E Green
    Death 1 Nov 1948 Marion County

    It appears the genealogies have just all copied from each other without analyzing fully.  In December 2012 my cousin Marion Mixon found an alternative record in Washington state that has very close details to our Myrtle Emma.

    Myrtle Emmer Powell [Myrtle Emmer Green]
    Birth Date abt 1892
    Death 20 Oct 1946 Vancouver, Clark, Washington
    Age at Death 54
    Father Dutch Green
    Mother Etta Bowens
    Washington State Death Records

    The middle name here is Emmer, an obvious form of Emma, representing the dialectic pronunciation we have commonly heard.  The surnames of her parents match, though I do not have other information that her father Reddick Jackson was called by the nickname Dutch.

    Her mother's maiden name is normally found as Bowers, and this Bowens could be a transcription from a handwritten record that was misread.  Also, the Bowers name was formerly found as Bowen, but was changed along the way to Bower or Bowers.

    I have not found any further details about a move to the Northwest or other confirmations.  Note that this record of death is only 6 years after they were recorded in the 1940 Census in Bowie County, Texas.
