Myrtle married a man named Rix/Ricks, of whom I have no details. In the 1910 census, she is reproted simply as married, but her husband is not in the hosuehold. In the 1920 census, Myrtle is reported as Divorced. Perhaps they were separated in 1910at census time, but divorced after that. In 1910, we find Myrtle with a toddler living in her parents home.
