There is a history written by Mary Kathaleena in the 60s that I recieved from family. I posted it a couple days back, you can read that Here. I really enjoy having it because it gives a peek of what kind of mother Myrtle. The way her daughter Mary talks about her- she was a very loving person. I so wish I had more pictures of her!
