The family moved to Poinsett County, Arkansas before July 1936 when Ethel married Mr. John Henry Williams in Poinsett County, Arkansas. Her father and brothers were also living in Poinsett County.

Myrtle married Carl New in Poinsett County in 1941. Carl and Myrtle lived in Florida as well as Berrien County, Michigan. She moved back to McNairy County, Tennessee at some point and Myrtle and Carl divorced on 7 Apr 1967 in General Sessions Court, McNairy County, Tennessee.^[1]

Myrtle loved coca-colas and smoked Winston's cigarettes. She cooked this peach dumpling dish that was delicious. She would use her coca-cola bottles to serve kool-aid to the children. She swept the yard every day so the grass wouldn't grow and the yard would stay clean. She was severely allergic to wasps and almost died from an acute Anaphylaxis shock after a red wasp sting in the early 1960s. She used a product called Dippity-do on her hair to help it hold her pen curls.
