Notes:
#
Myrtle Edna went to school in Dist #4, Haynes Twp., unti lthe 3rd grade. Then the family moved to Centralia Washington. That is all the schooling that Myrtle received. Myrtle claims that there was no love lost between she and her father, because he felt that she had killed her mother.
When she went out a few times with a young man in Centralia, her father took her and the young man to Chalalis, the County seat of Lewis Country, and forced them to marry.
Record of the marriage reads:
"Henrey Lewis haynes, age 18, White, 1st marriage, of Centralia, Wash, a baker, son of Joseph Lawrence, and Alice Hilton, married one Myrtle Edna Morton, age 16, 1st marriage, white, of Centralie Wash., born in Michigan, father John Johnson, maiden name of mother Erdine Morton, date of marriage July 19 ___ (not filled in), place of marriage, Centralia, Wash., performed by Robert J Reed, Witnesses John Johnson and Mrs. Laura Jordon - Certified March 1, 1971:Recorded Book 1:Page 140,bearing date,July 19__ (not filled in), filed July 20, 1909."
Note from Milo Johnson (1970):
When I, Milo N. Johnson, was born in February, 1890, there wasn't a cow milking in the community, when mother took sick and couldn't nurse me (this is her story to me), Mark Morton, Myrtle's grandfather, had a mare that had just had a colt, so they milked the mare, and divided between me and the colt until mother got better. A neighbor girl born in 1892 remembers Myrtle and went to school with her. She owns and lives in the house Morton built on his place, so I reckon Myrtle's early years are well documented, and the implication of the marraige to Henry Haines is disproved.
Henry L. Haines joined a unit of the US Services and was sent to a mission or project in alaska (which unit is not known). Myrtle followed him to Alaska and their baby was born up there-more than nine months after the marraige.
Myrtle got a job up there, I believe (Milo writing), in a lumber camp at or near Ketchikan, Alaska. When the baby came, I think the welfare dept. had the baby adopted out to someone and according to their rule, Myrtle couldn't find out until 18 years had passed. Henry came forward, though, and claimed Myrtle as his wife and the baby as his. He wasn't so bad after all. Myrtle's baby, Hazel ?____ Haines, born in Alaska, date?, Hazel's adopted parents?
Myrtle made her own living as a practical nurse and came to Bellingham, Wash., in 1923. When she heard where her daughter was, she worked her way back up there, I think (again from Milo), in British Columbia, contacted her and convinced her to come to Wash. to live. Hazel has two or three children now, some married. Hazel did not answer the inquiry made in 1970.
Myrtle married again, Henry Haines being dead or declared dead, as Myrtle said in 1970, "I get a small Vet's pension which pays for rent and pays for food if I am careful."
